Synappx Collaboration Hub allows you to set preferences in settings. Options include selecting how the app reacts when the Sharp display Synappx NFC tag is tapped, saving meeting attachment changes and email links to the organizer, sleep mode, and configuring auto-start Zoom conferences.

  • Save changes in meeting attachments and email links to organizer: If changes are made to downloaded meeting attachments, the updated file is uploaded to the Azure cloud and a temporary link is sent to the organizer to enable file downloading.
  • Do not go into sleep mode when using this app: This allows the app to stay active (e.g. during a meeting) and not sleep based on your mobile device setting.

Web Conference

  1. Select Configure.

Google Workspace users have three options to share Google files to a display:

  • View only: Download the files to view in PDF (fastest option).
  • View and edit: Open Google native files in a Chrome Incognito browser for viewing and editing files. Synappx Go will prompt the first person to share files to log in to the display PC. Subsequent users do not need to log in if the original user still has files open in the browser.
  • Prompt me: Each time you share a Google file, Synappx Go gives you the option to view only or view and edit.

The default is to download Google files for view only. Select a preference. Select Next. A confirmation message will appear.

If you choose View and edit or Prompt me, you must also configure Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for added security when editing online files. This will send a passcode to you each time you use the browser-based viewing and editing feature.

  • Select Configure.
  • Re-enter your log-in credentials that will be verified with Google.
If you need to edit the information, select Update. Go to  Google browser-based editing to learn more.

This section is only applicable for companies that have "locked" MFPs via PaperCut MF or Native Authentication that can be unlocked with a user ID Card number (for HID or iClass cards) stored in Synappx Go mobile. Once configured, the Synappx Go mobile app can be used to unlock the MFPs (instead of using an ID card) and access Go scan, copy, and print features.

To use Synappx Go mobile features with locked Sharp MFPs, ID card numbers need to be saved in the Synappx Go Mobile App. There are three ways to enter the card numbers:

  • During initial Synappx Go wizard, you can enter the ID card number (as last optional step)
  • After initial set up, enter ID card number via the ID Card page under Settings
  • Your Admin enters ID card numbers for you via the Synappx Admin Portal

After installing the Synappx Go mobile app and your company has locked Sharp MFPs, enter your ID card number as the last step of the wizard. You can also skip this page if they don't need or want to access locked Sharp MFPs.

  1. After completing (or skipping) other wizard steps, enter the ID card number either by manual entry with the keyboard or via camera capture.
  2. Manual entry: Touch the entry field and type user ID card number from HID Prox or iClass ID card via the keyboard. A maximum of 38 characters (only 0-9, A-F) can be entered. For native MFP local login authentication, only five to eight characters can be entered. Only include the user portion of the card number. Press Next to accept the number and finish the wizard set-up. Press Skip if no card number is needed.
  3. Camera capture entry: Select Capture by Camera and accept Synappx Go being able to access the camera on Android (not required on iOS). Take the picture of the user ID card number as close as possible to the user number, check image (crop to user number only if needed) then Save. The number should be entered into the Card ID field. Note: User should review the results and confirm the card number is correct based on the OCR. Use manual entry if OCR is not accurate.
  4. Press Next to finish. A confirmation page will be shown.

Setting, editing or deleting the ID card number can also be done via the Settings menu under ID Card. The card number can be edited and saved by selecting the top left back arrow.

Microsoft 365 users with OneDrive for Business have three options to share to a display.

  • Download and Open: Download the files for viewing or editing, requires associated applications to be installed on the display PC (fastest option).
  • Open in Browser: Open supported OneDrive for Business files (pptx, docx, xlsx, pdf, txt) in a Chrome Incognito browser for viewing and editing. Synappx Go will prompt the first person to log in. Subsequent users do not need to log in if the original user still has files open in the browser.
  • Prompt me: Each time you share a OneDrive for Business file to the display, Synappx Go gives you the option to download file(s) or open file(s) in the browser.

The default is to download and open the selected OneDrive for Business files. Select a preference. Select  Next. A confirmation message will appear.

If you choose View and edit or Prompt me, you must also configure Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for added security when editing online files. This will send a passcode to you each time you use the browser-based viewing and editing feature.

  • Select Configure.
  • Re-enter your log-in credentials that will be verified with Google.
If you need to edit the information, select Update. Go to  Google browser-based editing to learn more.
