How to Add a New Resident

Learn how to add new residents to your site / community in the Nobi application using this guide.

6 min task

What

For the light's smart monitoring features to work, you need to add a resident to the housing unit. When you add a resident and link them to a housing unit, you can choose specific privacy and housing unit settings unique to them. To add a resident, the resident must first give informed consent that their personal data be processed. Adding a resident is done via a wizard which will take you through the 3 steps you need to follow.

Why

All residents are different and unique. Therefore, you can set their individual settings depending on the resident’s preferences. By adding residents in Nobi, you can easily see a clear view of all the residents across the organisation.

 

Adding a new resident 

Let’s say we want to add resident ‘Alan Jefferson' to housing unit ‘Flat 101’. The wizard will walk us through the process.

Detailed Steps

  1. Go to Residents in the left menu.
  2. Click on + add in the upper right hand corner. A window will popup which will take you through three steps

  3. Fill in the Personal data of the resident: 

    • First name
    • Last name
    • Call name - this is the name Nobi will speak when asking for fall confirmation if enabled. 
    • Date of birth
    • Sex
    • Language - the language the resident speaks. This determines the language the light speaks when asking for fall confirmation and delivering the morning greeting if enabled. 
    • Add an image of the resident by pressing Set image (it's possible to add a picture at a later time by accessing the resident's personal data via Residents in the left menu). 

    Please note, by checking the box below, you confirm that the resident has given informed consent to share and process their data. Checking the box will allow you to click on next.

  4. Fill in the chosen Privacy Settings for the resident. Here you can decide to activate or deactivate. Please note, Smart monitoring must be enabled for Live view and Escalations data to be selected:
  5. When you’re done, click next.
  6. Complete the Housing unit settings for the resident. The first dropdown allows you to link the right housing unit to the resident. Below, you can decide to activate or deactivate only if Smart monitoring was enabled via Privacy settings:

Click done to add this new resident.

You have now added a new resident and linked them to their housing unit.
