Devices, Zones, and Tariffs in IZI

Devices, Zones, and Tariffs in IZI

To make a club operational in IZI, you need three things: add your hardware (devices — computers, consoles, and other seats), group the hall into zones — logical clusters with shared settings — and configure tariffs — the rules governing rates, schedules, and expiry. All of this lives under Club Settings in the CRM. You can complete the steps in any order, but the logical sequence is zones first: tariffs reference zones when setting rates, and a device can be assigned to a zone immediately on creation.

Devices

What a device is in IZI

A device is any gaming seat the system manages. Two types are supported:

• PC — a computer with the IZI agent installed. The agent enables remote screen lock, power control, automatic restart after a session, and real-time status visibility.
• Custom — hardware without the agent (PlayStation, Xbox, VR station, etc.). IZI tracks sessions and billing, but power control and screen lock are unavailable.

How to add a device

1. In the CRM, open your club and go to the Devices section.
2. Click Add Device.
3. Choose a type: PC or Custom.

For PC:

4. Download the IZI installer using the link in the dialog (“Download IZI Installer”).
5. Install the agent on the computer.
6. Click Generate Code — the code is valid for 4 hours. Enter it in the agent during installation to bind the computer to the club.
7. After a successful connection, the device appears in the list with status Active.

For Custom:

4. Enter the Device Name (numbers only).
5. Select a Zone (optional — can be assigned later).
6. Click Save.

Device settings

After creation, a device can be edited. Available fields:

Field	Description
Device Name	Numbers only. Shown on the cashier interface and hall map
Zone	Which zone the device belongs to
Auto-update client	Agent updates automatically when a new version is released
Wake-on-LAN	Remote power-on over the local network

The device list shows: name, zone, UUID, type, and client version.

Zones

Why zones matter

A zone is a logical group of devices inside a club that share common settings. Typical breakdowns: Standard, VIP, Consoles, VR. Zones are referenced in two places:

• Tariffs set rates separately per zone. The same tariff can carry different amounts in a VIP zone versus a standard zone.
• Devices are assigned to a zone when created or edited.

How to create a zone

1. In the club CRM, go to the Zones section.
2. Click Add.
3. Enter a Zone Name — the only required field.
4. Optionally configure PC Restart After Session (see below).
5. Click Save.

Zones can be reordered by drag and drop — the order affects how they appear on the cashier interface.

PC Restart After Session

This is the key zone setting, and it is commonly configured differently across zones.

• Enabled (default) — computers in the zone automatically restart after a session ends and before the next player’s session begins. This ensures a clean OS state for every customer.
• Disabled — no restart. Useful for training zones where keeping open applications between sessions matters.

When the feature is disabled, the zone list shows a label Auto-restart disabled next to the zone name so administrators can spot non-standard configurations at a glance.

Tariffs

What a tariff contains

A tariff in IZI is more than a rate per hour. It is a set of operational rules that define:

• When the tariff is available for activation (availability policy + schedule)
• Where it can be used (zones in the usage policy)
• How much it costs per zone (rates in the usage policy)
• When it expires (expiry conditions)
• What happens to unused time on early exit (return policy)

Creating a tariff — step by step

1. In the club CRM, go to the Tariffs section.
2. Click Add.
3. Fill in the core fields:

Field	Required	Description
Tariff Name	Yes	Shown to cashier and customer
Tariff Group	No	Required for the tariff to appear in booking flows
Description	No	Displayed in tariff details
Maximum Bonus Percentage	No	Caps the share of the rate coverable with bonuses

Expiry conditions

The Expiry Conditions section defines when the tariff stops being valid. At least one condition is required. If multiple conditions are set, the tariff expires when any one of them is met (logical OR).

Available condition types:

Type	Example
Time from activation	Expires 30 days after first activation
Time from first use	Expires 7 days after the first session
Total play time	Expires after 10 hours of sessions are used
Number of sessions	Expires after 5 uses
Fixed date	Valid until December 31 (exclusive)

Availability policy

The Availability Policy defines when and through which channels the tariff can be activated by a customer. Without at least one active availability policy, the tariff cannot be used.

Each policy includes:

• Schedule — the time window during which the tariff is accessible (for example, weekdays 10:00–22:00 only)
• Access channels — cashier, online, mobile app, or other channels

Multiple policies can be added if the tariff operates under different conditions at different times.

Usage and pricing policy

The Usage and Pricing Policy sets activation conditions and per-zone rates.

Each policy includes:

• Start schedule — when the tariff can be activated (i.e., when a session can begin)
• Additional end schedule (optional) — lets customers finish a session under a different schedule (for example, a session started Saturday can end on Sunday)
• Rates per zone — a rate is set for each zone; 0 means free access; zones not included in the policy grant no access under this tariff

A single tariff can hold multiple usage policies — for example, a daytime plan and a night plan within the same tariff.

Return policy

The Remainder on Early Exit field controls what happens to unused time when a customer ends a session early:

• Keep remainder — unused time carries over to future sessions under this tariff
• Return to bonus — unused time is converted to the customer’s bonus balance proportionally
• Burn remainder — unused time is forfeited

Recommended setup sequence

1. Create zones — at least one, even if the club has no category split today
2. Add devices — assign each to its zone
3. Create tariffs — set expiry conditions, an availability policy with a schedule, and a usage policy with per-zone rates
4. Open a shift — after this, the cashier can start sessions
