Offsite hosts are member facilities that have been set up to conduct testing for RedJade® Suite licensees as offsite locations. The licensee sets up a test and hands it off to the offsite host to conduct the test and collect data. This document describes the process for a member facility to set up a company, specify locations, add details and photos of their facilities, and invite users and partners. You can make your facility available in the RedJade Hosting Directory to host and schedule events or you can set up your company to receive hosting requests only from specified partners. Company setup and user invitations are managed by a company administrator. Location setup and station management is done by a field site manager. Once set up in RedJade, field site managers can manage your bids, schedule reservations and review testing activities. 


NOTE – A RedJade member facility is not required to be a paid licensee.

Set Up Stations

Once the locations and testing rooms are set up you can add the stations. Stations are registered and assigned to rooms within a location.

Stations are added using a unique activation code generated by RedJade and assigned to a specific room and location. The activation code for a room and location never changes. When adding stations it's best to name them in sequential order, to assist in serving. For example, Booth 01, Booth 02, Booth 03, etc.


When activating in a browser (Chrome, Safari, Microsoft Edge, Firefox), the activation is saved in the browser's Cookies and Site Data. The station needs to be activated in the browser by which it will be managed and you must have allow sites to save data on your devise and cookies enabled.


Stations may also be activated using the RedJade Booth App (available only for Windows-based computers). The app uses the full screen, inhibits web surfing, has a smaller installation footprint and uses a configuration file, rather than a browser's Cookies and Site Data. If you've previously activated the station in a browser and switch to the RedJade Booth App, you will need to activate it in the booth app. 


NOTE – If you have problems activating a station in your browser, clear browser cookies and site data, and ensure the browser has allow sites to save data on your devise and cookies enabled. Also, if browser cookies and site data are cleared for any reason, you will need to reactivate the station.
