Upload Existing Backups

Re-import prior ISAAC Workspace backups using a guided upload modal. Uploaded backups can then be verified or restored as needed.

Create Backups

Easily generate a backup of the current ISAAC Workspace with one click. By default, only the most recent 3,000 log entries are included to conserve storage.

Verified Backup Integrity

Use the “Verify” action to confirm if a backup is valid and restorable. Verification ensures the file contains all required ISAAC Workspace data.

Download for External Storage

Export backups for local storage or external safekeeping. Downloaded backups can be re-uploaded into ISAAC Workspace at any time.

Restore from Backup

Restore from a backup using the “Restore” action. Useful for data recovery or reverting to a known state.

ISAAC Ecosystem

We partner with leading companies to build integrations that make your work faster, smarter, and easier.Redefining system integration with an overarching ecosystem-based approach.

Generic Module

The Generic Module connects systems without native integration to ISAAC, supporting Events, Playables, Variables, and Control Panels. It syncs these automatically when connected and follows ISAAC’s schedule to play content and trigger events.

Media Player

The Media Player Module connects non-native systems to ISAAC with full media playback support. It syncs Events, Playables, Variables, and Control Panels automatically. Features include direct media playback, instant play, live previews, and flexible schedule or loop playback modes for reliable content delivery.

Events

Modules can publish Events to the ISAAC Workspace. Depending on the Module type, Events may be pre-determiend or manually defined using a flexible text field for attaching custom data.

Playables

Modules can publish Playables to the ISAAC Workspace, each with customizable commands, durations, and descriptions. Playables can be linked to specific Players and optionally force-cached to ensure assets are preloaded for seamless playback.

Variables

Modules can publish Variables to the ISAAC Workspace, enabling real-time tracking of data points with support for tagging, logging, alerts, and user-defined composite variables. Each Variable includes its last reported value, timestamp, and for fleet modules, can be linked to specific Players.

Players

View, configure, and manage all media Players linked to a Module. Define network settings, playback mode, resolution, and more. Each Player reports live status and can be set to follow scheduled content or loop individual items, giving you full control over media delivery and performance.

Templates

Templates define the structure and rules for creating Compositions in the CMS, including fields, validation, and default values. Modules with media Players allow you to view, group, and manage Templates, ensuring consistent, scalable content across assigned Players.

Control Panels

View, search, and manage all Control Panels linked to a Module. Easily access panel details like name, type, player association, and connection information for streamlined system control.

Broken Link Detection

Broken links occur when Events, Playables, Variables, or Panels are changed or removed from the module sub-system. These links are safe to delete, either all at once, individually, or you can keep them if expected.

Role-Based Access Control

Grant or restrict panel access by role. Define permissions as hidden, view only, or full access.

ISAAC Connect

Access remote machines via VNC, SSH, RDP, or Telnet directly in your browser. Configure connection details and control session sharing.

Embedded Web Pages

Integrate live web tools or dashboards inside ISAAC Workspace. If embedding is blocked, panels can still open externally.

Document Viewer

Preview images and PDFs without leaving ISAAC Workspace. Utilize My Panels to organize related documents with other panels for easy access.

Module Panels

Add custom panels from ISAAC Modules. Configure names, details, and permissions like any other panel.

Markers

Place markers to represent devices or variables such as players, lighting, audio, video, or other hardware. Markers show real-time health status and values, and can link directly to dashboards, panels, or other maps.

Areas

Group related markers using customizable shapes like rectangles, circles, or draw custom polygons. Areas reflect the combined health state of their contents or can be configured to display the status of a single variable.

Folder-Based Organization

Maps are organized with intutive drag and drop in a hierarchical folder structure, making it easy to group locations and systems logically.

Marker & Area Links

Add links for direct navigation to related resources like Panels, Dashboards, or Maps. Configure link behavior to customize your experience.

Smart Health Aggregation

View a thumbnail of what's currently playing. Click to enlarge the preview and verify output.

Custom Scaling

Markers can be scaled individually or globally to fit your map layout. Useful for emphasizing infrastructure hierarchy or map resolution.

Monitor Infrastructure

The Asset Dashboard provides a centralized view of all infrastructure assets. Assets with active warnings or errors are automatically brought to the top, helping you quickly identify and address system issues.

Generic Asset

Monitor any device with a pingable IP address. Tracks connection status and ping response time in milliseconds.

Network Switch

Monitor ports with color-coded health and key metrics like status, speed, traffic, SNMP, and ping. Set expected values manually or auto-scan ports based on current usage.

O3 Multi-Sensor

Track temperature, humidity, light, motion, occupant count, and sound levels. Reports include surface, human height, and ceiling values. Connectivity monitored via ping and response time.

Web Page

Monitor a URL instead of an IP. Tracks ping status, response time, response code, and response size.

Windows Computer

Monitor Windows computers with a username, password, and IP. Tracks connection status and ping response time.

Filtered Search

Search assets by type, name, description, and tags. Advanced filters allow for searching by IP address and external references.
