Using the Application (with Oulu Profile Installed)

Registration and login

If you are a visitor or only need the map, routing, and/or navigation, you do not need to register or log in separately. You can start using the application immediately.

If you need to book rooms, you must have a university or Oamk staff or student account. Staff can also book a workstation.

Changing settings

In the app settings, which can be found behind the gear symbol next to the search field, you can make changes related to usability, language, and units of measurement.

Getting Directions

1. If you want directions from your current location, first activate indoor positioning by pressing the round Target symbol in the lower left corner. Your location will then appear on the map if Bluetooth is enabled on your phone and allowed to make connections.
2. Search for the place you are looking for using the Search field or select the destination directly from the map, e.g., L1.
3. Then tap the Directions button in the small window that opens at the bottom, and you will get a route that guides you to your destination.

You can also freely choose the starting and ending points of the route if needed. See detailed instructions in the separate PDF guides below.

Rooms and workstations

Bookable rooms and workstations appear on the map as green when available and orange when booked.

There are two types of bookable rooms:

1. Rooms that both staff and students can book. They are marked on the map with burgundy or can be found under the Points of Interest menu by selecting  Student & Personnel.
2. Rooms and workstations that only staff can book. These include all bookable rooms that are not marked with purple.

Booking rooms and workstations

Booking rooms and workstations is simple. Select the room to be booked either directly from the map or through the search. In the small window that opens at the bottom of the app, press the Book resource button and then log in to the app. After that, you can book a time either for today or for another time in the coming days.
