Webex App Workspaces
------------------------------

.. 21.1|VOSS-725:


Overview 
..........


You can define Webex App workspaces of various types in VOSS Automate. For example, meeting rooms or open spaces.
   
When adding or updating a workspace, the details you add to the Workspaces page in the Admin Portal 
is formatted as a sequence of manual steps, in an email message. The manual steps are to be 
performed in the Webex App Control Hub. 
   
See: :ref:`global-settings` for an email message example.

The content of the manual steps for a workspace configuration display in the **Steps** content via the 
(default menus) **Subscriber Management > Webex App > Manual Steps**. 



Add a Webex App Workspace 
............................

This procedure adds a Webex App workspace. 


1. In the Admin Portal, go to (default menus) **Subscriber Management > Webex App > Workspaces**. 
2. Choose the relevant hierarchy. 
3. Provide a workspace name, and capacity, and from the **Type** field, 
   choose the workspace type. 
4. In the **Send Device Activation Code To** field, fill out the email address(es)
   where the device type code is sent. 
   
   .. note:: 
     
      This code is unique to this created workspace and is entered into the device itself. 
      
      Once the code is created, the **Device Activation Code** (read only) value 
      is returned and shown, as well as its **Device Activation Code Expiration Date**.
   
      A VOSS Automate schedule checks the expiration date and generates a new code. 
      The **SIP Address** of the workspace is also shown.

5. In the **Calling** section, choose the calling behavior (free or hybrid). 

   .. note:: 

      The hybrid calling option displays additional fields where you need to choose a site and 
      an available directory number, which then generates a mail ID is generated from CUCM. 
      The auto-generated value in the **Mail ID from Unified CM** field uses the following:   
   
      ``wt_`` + ``<random-number>`` + the email hostname set up for the Webex App service
      
      For example, ``wt_886821663180@myhost.com``. 
   
      A subscriber user for the device is then added at the selected site, with the following: 
  
      * **User Id** and **Last Name**: ``wt_886821663180``
      * **First Name**: workspace **Name**
      * **Primary Extension**: **Directory Number**
      * **Phone**: Spark Remote device with workspace specific settings

      Once the device code is entered, the page displays details
      of the device associated with the workspace in the **Devices** group, 
      for example: **Product**, **Connection Status** and **IP Address**.
      A link to the device is then also available, to show details (read only) 
      as listed under the **Devices** menu for Webex App.

      The new workspace is listed on the **Workspaces** list view.
