How to set up Boundless Guest
Step 1 | Create a new workspace
This will be the first thing you see when you open the Boundless Guest.
Choose the name and region for your workspace and click Next to continue. Don't stress too much about this as you can easily change the name later if you aren't sure now. 😉
Step 2 | Set up your organization workspace
Next, you'll need to set up the workspace you've just created.
We suggest going with Quick Setup if you're using Meraki, as this allows you to import all your venues and devices automatically. Here's an article explaining How to integrate Meraki
If you aren't using Meraki equipmen\t, then you'll need to go through the manual set up route. Don't worry though, creating venues is very simple on the Boundless 😬
Simply click on Manual Setup and follow the steps to proceed.
Step 3 | Create your venues
Head over to the Venues tab on the left to add a new site. These are essentially the same as networks in Meraki.
Here you'll be able to see the options for adding sites manually, uploading all your sites via CSV/Excel format, or using a vendor API.
Click on New Site to continue Simply enter the information manually, or drag and drop your file to upload your sites.
Step 4 | End Setup
After clicking continue, you should arrive at the finish page.
You can click the Previous button if you wish to go back and make any changes. Otherwise, you can end the process by simply clicking the Finish.
This will create all your venues on Boundless Guest and you're all ready to go!
