Space Managers

Space Managers are the heart of the room approval process and help the university effectively manage space on campus. Space Managers are responsible for processing requests for spaces they manage (typically within one business day). They are also responsible for reporting both maintenance and room feature changes to their department’s Power User.

EMS Client Installation & Help

Mac Users: First request access and then install AWS Workspaces, which is a Windows-based cloud desktop. After those steps are complete, sign in and continue the steps below while in AWS Workspaces.

1. Click the link (WFU log in required) on the EMS Desktop Client Installation Page. You will be prompted to save two files (EMSApplication.exe and emswebdeployconfiguration.cfg). Save both files in the same location (e.g., your Desktop).
   
   
2. Double-click the EMS Client Installer (EMSApplication.exe).
   
   
   Note: If a window pops up prompting for the “EMS Web Deploy configuration URL” paste in the website address below and click OK.

3. The EMS Client will begin installing, which will take a few minutes.
   
   
   
   
4. Once the installer finishes, the EMS Client will start.
   
   
   
5. When prompted, enter your email address and password.
   
   
   
6. Once logged in, you’ll see the EMS Desktop Client (your screen may vary slightly).
   
   
   
7. To avoid future confusion, we recommend deleting the two files you downloaded in the first step (EMSApplication.exe and emswebdeployconfiguration.cfg).
