Concepts
Reservations
A Reservation in the LivionKey System associates a specific entity, such as an apartment, office, or car, with a list of contacts for a specific duration of time. Third-party systems usually push reservations to the LivionKey system using the LivionKey Reservation API. This allows for seamless integration between the third-party system and LivionKey and can streamline the reservation process for the end user.
Keys
A Key in the LivionKey System represents a mechanical Key or an electromechanical key. It provides access to one or multiple reservable entities. Keys can be handed over and returned manually to a desk or automatically using LivionKey automats (LivionKey 30 and LivionKey 1). Keys will be assigned to selected storage (Manual Storage or LivionKey Automat)
Key Contracts
A KeyContract in LivionKey is similar to a Reservation for Keys; it associates a specific Key or set of Keys with a list of contacts for a specific duration of time. However, it also includes additional features that are specific to LivionKey Manager, such as support for agreements, attachments, and digital signature capabilities.
Locker Contracts
A LockerContract associates a LivionKey Automat locker to a contact or a list of contacts for a specific duration. This type of contract allows the designated contacts to access the locker during the agreed-upon duration.
A Key Contract associated with a Key stored in a LivionKey Automat will create a Locker contract.
Device Groups
Device groups were used in the early stages of the LivionKey Smart solution to map LivionKey automates to reservable entities such as groups of apartment keys.
Each reservation should specify the device group to be used, allowing LivionKey Smart to find the appropriate LivionKey automat to be used.
