It can be accessed on an iPad through the Cove Kiosk app or by opening kiosk.cove.is in a web browser. In Reserve mode, tenants and teams can use the tablet to view a space’s current and upcoming availability at a glance. The Reserve tablet does not allow users to create reservations and is intended only to display the room’s schedule, which must be managed through your building dashboard or mobile app.\n\nWho can set this up: Building Managers and Building Admins\n\nSetting Up A Tablet in Reserve Mode\n\nReconfiguring The App for a New Amenity Space or Adjusting The Configurations\n\nSetting Up A Tablet in Reserve Mode\n\n1.

Restarting the app allows you to reselect the site, space, and tablet configuration as needed.","capture_id":"90cf6b56aecd25d20950f745c6a40b62d3f9a36ed0da5194dc7790a10df7b8d2","captured_at":"2026-10-12T13:23:56.595Z","published_at":null,"indexed_at":"2026-10-12T13:23:56.628Z","truncated":0,"scope_tier":"primary","monitor_reason":"","last_error":null,"last_attempt_at":"2026-10-12T13:23:55.951Z","enabled":1,"evidence_notes":[],"text_available":true,"media":["https://support.cove.is/hc/article_attachments/46168304270228","https://support.cove.is/hc/article_attachments/46168304272660","https://support.cove.is/hc/article_attachments/46168293678484","https://cdn.osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/stop-ipad-screen-turning-off.jpg"],"interpretation":"Unreviewed source evidence.
