Hall Real-time Overview
The Hall view is the primary workspace for running a gaming club. Every PC in the venue appears as a live tile — admins see session timers counting down, spot free machines, and handle any operation (start, extend, transfer, pause, end) in one or two clicks. No tab switching, no paper log, no manual refresh.
Open it from the sidebar: Hall.
PC map
Section titled “PC map”The main area is an interactive map of the hall. Each PC is a card showing the device name and its current status.
Tile status meanings:
| Color / state | What it means |
|---|---|
| Green, empty | PC is free, ready to start a session |
| Shows client name | Active session — client nickname and remaining time visible |
| Orange / “Hold” | Session paused; client stepped away, timer frozen |
| Grey | PC offline — agent not connected to the server |
| Red | Agent error — requires investigation |
Click any tile to open the side panel for that PC.
PC side panel
Section titled “PC side panel”Clicking a PC opens a panel on the right with full session details and action buttons:
- Start session — when the PC is free
- Extend — add time to a running session
- End session — close the session early
- Transfer player — move the client to a different PC without losing session time
- Hold (pause) — freeze the session timer while the player is away
The panel also shows: active tariff, payment method, client balance, session start time, and projected end time.
Actions available on any PC
Section titled “Actions available on any PC”From the PC card, every common operation is one click away:
| Action | When you need it |
|---|---|
| Start session | Player arrives, time needs to start |
| Book now | Reserve this PC while it is occupied |
| Book in advance | Advance booking with prepayment from client balance |
| Extend session | Player wants more time |
| Transfer player | Move to another PC without restarting the tariff |
| Hold (pause) | Player stepped away; stop the timer |
| Activate tariff | Pay from balance, bonus points, or card right here |
| Restart / Shut down PC | Remotely, without leaving the front desk |
| Toggle disk protection | Enable or disable disk protection per machine |
Top counters bar
Section titled “Top counters bar”A status bar above the PC map gives an instant snapshot of the hall:
- Occupied / Total — active PCs out of the total in the club
- Free — machines available right now
- On hold — sessions currently paused
- Offline — PCs not connected to the server
These numbers let you read hall utilization at a glance without counting individual tiles.
Zones and multi-club navigation
Section titled “Zones and multi-club navigation”If zones are configured (VIP, Pro, Standard, Tournament), the map splits into sections. Filter by zone using the controls above the map. Tariffs can carry zone-based pricing — the correct rate applies automatically when a session starts on a specific PC.
For organizations with multiple clubs, switching between clubs requires no re-login. Automation rules and tariffs can be managed at the organization level or per club.
Booking timeline
Section titled “Booking timeline”Below the tile map sits a horizontal timeline: colored blocks represent active sessions and advance bookings, grouped by zone. You can drag blocks to move a booking to a different time slot or a different PC. Click any block to view its full details. This replaces manual scheduling notebooks and eliminates double-booking.
Hardware monitoring
Section titled “Hardware monitoring”The Monitoring tab shows live metrics from every PC: CPU load, RAM usage, network, and disk — sent in real time by the IZI client app. Admins spot a machine under unusual load immediately on the dashboard. Telegram alerts can be configured so the notification arrives before a player’s complaint does.
IZI Boot — restore to a clean image in minutes
Section titled “IZI Boot — restore to a clean image in minutes”The IZI Boot tab is a tool for the club’s system administrator. Create a clean reference disk image from one PC, then apply it to any machine in the hall. After a virus, a corrupted game install, or onboarding a new PC — no manual reinstall of each title needed. While a PC is being restored, it is flagged as unavailable in Control Center so the rest of the team sees its real state.
Why this matters for the business
Section titled “Why this matters for the business”Fewer clicks and context switches mean faster service and fewer mistakes. A club running 30 PCs through IZI does not keep a booking notebook and does not lose clients to “we forgot to write it down.” One admin can reliably handle a full shift across a large hall from a single screen.

Section titled “See also”Frequently asked questions
How often does the Hall view refresh?
The Hall view updates in real time — there is no manual refresh needed. Status changes (session start, PC goes offline, hold applied) appear within seconds automatically.
Can I manage multiple clubs from one Hall view?
Each club displays separately under one organization account. You switch between clubs without logging out. Tariffs and automation rules can be set at the organization level (applying to all clubs) or scoped to a single club.
What does a grey PC tile mean?
Grey means the IZI agent on that PC is not connected to the server. Common causes: no internet on that machine, the agent is not running, a firewall is blocking the connection, or the PC was never fully configured in IZI Boot.
What does a red PC tile mean?
Red signals an agent error — the connection exists but something is wrong. Check IZI Boot on that machine and inspect the error details in the PC side panel.
How many PCs can one admin handle from the Hall view?
In practice, one admin manages 40–80 PCs from a single Control Center screen without switching tabs. Every operation — start, hold, transfer, extend, pause — takes one or two clicks from the PC card. Clubs with larger halls add a second monitor, not a second admin.
How does transferring a player to another PC work?
The Transfer operation moves an active session to a different PC without losing time or restarting the tariff. The player continues from exactly where they were. Use it when hardware fails or a client wants to sit next to a friend.
How does advance booking with prepayment work?
An admin books a specific PC for a future time slot and locks in a prepayment from the client's balance. The booking appears as a block on the timeline. When the client arrives, one click activates the session. If the client does not show up, the prepayment stays on their account or is deducted according to club policy.
Can I pause a session while a player steps away?
Yes. The Hold operation freezes the session timer — no game time is consumed while the player is absent. When they return, the admin resumes with one click. This eliminates disputes about time being charged during bathroom breaks.
How are hall zones configured — what counts as VIP vs Standard?
Zones are set up during initial club configuration: each PC is assigned a zone (VIP, Standard, Tournament, etc.). Zones appear as groups of tiles in Control Center. A single tariff can carry zone-based pricing — the system automatically applies the right price when a session starts on a specific PC.
How does IZI know a PC has high CPU load?
Through the Monitoring tab, where the client app on each PC sends live metrics: CPU load, RAM, network, disk. Admins see anomalies on the dashboard immediately. Telegram alerts can also be configured so a notification arrives before any player complains.
Can I restart or shut down a specific PC from CRM?
Yes. The PC card has Restart and Shut Down commands available without leaving the front desk. Useful when a game freezes or maintenance is needed without interrupting other machines.
What is IZI Boot and how does it connect to hall management?
IZI Boot is a PC recovery tool: you create a reference disk image from one machine and apply it to any other. After a virus or crash, the PC returns to a working state in minutes rather than hours. While a PC is being restored, it is marked as unavailable in Control Center so admins see the correct status instantly.
