modification. You will find similar buttons for each of these operations throughout the

administration portal.

Reference will be made to “sessions” and “rooms” throughout the guide. Please note that they

are synonymous terms.

MAIN FEATURES

A brief description of the administrator menu options is provided below.

GENERAL

 System Info: provides information about available services. Allows for changes to access

data and personalization of the access web page.

 Logged In: presents a list of sessions (of all the modules: IM, Spontania sessions, etc.)

active at the time of query, as well as the users participating in these sessions.

SPONTANIA

 Logged In: presents a list of Spontania sessions that are active at the time of query, as

well as the users participating in these sessions.

 Areas: these may be similar to department or groups.

 Sessions: these are at the center of Spontania; they are the virtual conference or meeting

rooms in which users meet.

 Moderators: are the main participants in a session. They can control sessions and grant

authorization to participating users. They may perform the role of moderator in one or

several areas.

 CDR: Call Detail Records store information about implemented sessions.

 Log file: Similar to CDR, this option provides information about the users who have logged

in to a session. The main difference is that the information provided here is related to

sessions that have been deleted from the system.

sessions.

Chapter 4. SPONTANIA

IN THIS CHAPTER

Once administrator has access to the administration site. This chapter describes the following

basic options inside Spontania menu:

“Logged in” option

“Areas” option

“Sessions” option

“Moderators” option

“CDR” option

“Log File” option

“Statistics” option

“Documentation” option

“LOGGED IN” OPTION

This shows the same kind of information explained in the “Logged In” option of the General

Menu, but is limited to information related to the Spontania service.

“AREAS” OPTION

Areas can be thought of as departments or groups within a company. Just as it is necessary for

a moderator to exist to create a session, it is essential that the session belongs to an area that

will manage it; i.e. areas must be created before proceeding with the creation of any session.

Clicking on the “Areas” option the following screen will appear:

First the total number of areas created in the system is listed.

SPONTANIA PRO: Administrator Manual 15

Next, there is a list of areas with their most relevant information: area name, person in charge

with his or her email address and the services that can be managed within these areas.

You can access the menu for area modification by clicking on the area name; this will show all

the data that identifies an area, as well as the default values that the session belonging to this

area will inherit.

Another field that appears here is ABM, which must show one of two values: “Yes” or “No”. To

change this value you must go to the Area Modification menu. Its function is:

The function of ABM is to optimize the quality of the videoconference

system in real time, by automatically controlling the videostreaming

parameters sent to the user’s device. Integrated into the Spontania

server, the ABM module maintains a balance between network

resources (bandwidth) and service quality.

An area is created with a set of services - and any session belonging to that area will inherit

these services by default. A service will never be activated in any room not assigned to the area

upon its creation. The administrator is the only person that has the ability to increase the

available services in an area, since he or she is the only one who has access to the management

of all the areas.

The operations that can be implemented for an area are: creation, modification and deletion.

There is no limit to the number of areas that can be created, as long as you are logged in as the

general administrator.

There are three areas created by default depending on the activation of certain modules:

- Area IM is created by default when the IM module is configured.

- Area Personal is created by default when personal module is configured.

- Area Spontania is the default area.

Area IM and Area Personal cannot be deleted by the administrator. They disappear when

modules are disable in the system.

CREATE AN AREA

In order to create an area, simply click on the “Create” button located above the list of areas. A

form will appear in which the requested data must be entered.

Although it is best to provide as much data as possible at this point, only the name is mandatory.

16 SPONTANIA PRO: Administrator Manual

By default a new area inherits the same active services of the entity to which it belongs, so this

information is not requested on the form used to create each area. The “Modification” option -

explained in the following section - must be used to change these parameters.

Once all the information has been entered, click “Save.”

If the area has been created correctly, the “Areas” screen will reappear, showing how the new

area has been incorporated into the list of all existing areas.

MODIFY AN AREA

It is possible to gain access to the contents of an area at any time in order to carry out necessary

modifications. To modify the parameters of an area, simply click on the respective area name.

This will automatically open a screen showing current area values and allowing for the

modification of any specific feature. The illustration below shows such a modification.

SPONTANIA PRO: Administrator Manual 17

18 SPONTANIA PRO: Administrator Manual

It is important to remember that the same data required to create an area will remain mandatory

and is listed here. In addition a series of parameters will appear with values inherited from the

company, as mentioned above.

Thus all the services that were enabled when the entity was created will appear as activated

and may now be selected. If any services were not enabled when the entity was created, they

will appear here as “not available” or will not appear at all.

It is important to remember that each area must be created with a unique name.

There are two special sections other than the area identification data. These sections are:

“Available Services” and “Personalized Values”.

Any service inherited from the general company configuration can be activated or deactivated

under “Available Services”. Sessions created in this area will also inherit the same services.

When a service is selected as “Active”, the service will become active by default as soon as the

session begins.

 When AVQ is active in a session, the default layout will be speaker

(NxN) and speaker view (1xN). In case, user select NxN view

(gallery view) the video will not rotate However, if there is an no-

visible user (i.e., 15th user), in that case, this user’s video should

become visible when this user talks.

 In case of 1xN layout, user couldn’t choose what video is showing

big. It is defined by server based on who is speaking.

 In the speaker user application, the video of the user who spoke

before will be showed big.

Click on the dropdown menu next to “Personalized Values” and select the desired value.

20 SPONTANIA PRO: Administrator Manual

This is an “additional step” in the personalization of an area, divided into three different sections:

Audio, Video and Sharing.

Audio

The “Hands Free” option can be activated or deactivated by default. If

it appears as INACTIVE, then users will have to push the Ctrl button

on their keyboards when using the voice service. If activated, this

action will not be necessary.

Video

It is possible to set the qualities available for the video service. The

platform has a list of available video qualities for the video service and

administrator can define which of them will be available for the sessions

belonging to the area.

Predefined Video Quality: This establishes the quality of video to be

applied to all users when they connect and initiate video services. This

value can be modified in real time during the session by the session

moderator.

Maximum Number of Videos: This establishes the maximum number

of videos that can be shown in sessions belonging to the area.

Sharing

It is possible to set the qualities available for the sharing service. The
