Hall Management in IZI
The Hall module in IZI is a single screen where the administrator sees every PC in the club and manages them without switching between tabs. Each PC card shows status, player name, session timer, and tariff — enough to make a decision in seconds.
What the Control Center screen shows
Section titled “What the Control Center screen shows”Each PC is represented as a card displaying:
- Player name or “Available”
- Session timer — time remaining or elapsed
- Tariff name
- Disk protection icon — enabled or not
- Booking — whether an upcoming or active booking exists
Below the cards — a horizontal timeline: session and booking blocks grouped by hall zone. Blocks can be dragged with the mouse, clicked to view details.
What you can do with any PC
Section titled “What you can do with any PC”From a card, all operations are one click away:
| Action | When needed |
|---|---|
| Start session | Player arrived, time needs to start |
| Book now | Spot taken but PC needs to be reserved |
| Book ahead | Advance booking with prepayment |
| Extend session | Player wants more time |
| Transfer player | Move to another PC without losing session |
| Hold (pause) | Player stepped away, time stops |
| Activate tariff | Pay from balance, bonus, or card right here |
| Reboot / shut down PC | Remotely, without leaving the desk |
| Enable/disable disk protection | Manage disk protection |
Zones and multi-venue
Section titled “Zones and multi-venue”Cards group by hall zones — VIP, standard, tournaments — as configured in the system. If you have multiple venues under one organisation, switching between them requires no re-login.
Hardware monitoring
Section titled “Hardware monitoring”The separate Monitoring tab shows live metrics per PC: CPU load, RAM, network, disk. Configured through IZI Support — once set up, Telegram alerts can be enabled for overheating or frozen machines.
IZI Boot — restore to baseline in minutes
Section titled “IZI Boot — restore to baseline in minutes”The IZI Boot tab is a tool for the club’s system administrator. Create a clean disk image from one PC, then deploy it to any machine in the hall. Recovering from a virus, resetting settings, or commissioning a new PC — no manual reinstallation of every game.

Section titled “See also”Frequently asked questions
How many PCs can one administrator manage through IZI at once?
In practice, one administrator handles 40–80 PCs from a single Control Center screen without switching tabs. Every operation — start session, book, transfer player, extend, pause — takes one or two clicks from the PC card. Large-hall clubs add a second monitor, not a second administrator.
What happens when a player needs to move to a different PC?
The 'Transfer player' operation moves the active session to another PC without losing any time or restarting the tariff. The player continues from the same point. This is useful when hardware fails or a client wants to sit next to a friend.
How does advance booking with prepayment work?
The administrator books a specific PC for a specific time and records 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 doesn't show, the prepayment stays in the account or is charged according to the club's policy.
Can a session be paused while a player steps away?
Yes. The Hold operation stops the session timer — playing time is not consumed while the player is absent. When the player returns, the administrator lifts the pause with one click. This eliminates disputes about 'I was in the bathroom and it kept counting'.
How are hall zones configured — what counts as VIP versus standard?
Zones are configured by the administrator during initial club setup: each PC is assigned to a zone (VIP, Standard, Tournaments, etc.). Zones appear as groups of cards on the Control Center screen. Zone-based pricing can be attached to a tariff — one tariff, different prices per zone, no duplicated configuration.
How does IZI detect that a PC has high CPU load?
Through the Monitoring tab, where the client application on each PC sends live metrics: CPU load, RAM, network, disk — in real time. The administrator sees anomalies on the dashboard immediately. Telegram alerts can be configured so a notification arrives before any player complains.
Can a specific PC be rebooted or shut down from the CRM?
Yes. From the PC card, 'Reboot' and 'Shut down' commands are available — no need to leave the desk. Useful when a game freezes or maintenance is needed without interrupting the administrator's workflow at the counter.
How does the booking timeline work — can bookings be dragged to a new time?
The timeline shows blocks of active sessions and bookings across all PCs in chronological order. Blocks can be dragged with the mouse to reschedule a booking to a different time or PC. This handles schedule changes without manually deleting and recreating entries.
What is IZI Boot and how does it relate to hall management?
IZI Boot is a PC recovery tool: create a master disk image from one machine and deploy it to any other. After a virus or hardware failure, a PC is back to working state in minutes, not hours. The connection to hall management is direct: while a PC is being restored, it's marked unavailable, and the administrator sees this in Control Center.
How does IZI display venues when I operate multiple locations?
Each venue displays separately within a single organisation account. Switching between venues requires no re-login. Automation rules and tariffs can be configured at organisation level (applying to all clubs) or scoped to a specific venue.
How do I see which tariff is currently active on a specific PC?
The tariff name is shown directly on the PC card in Control Center. Clicking the card opens full details: tariff, player name, session start time, remaining time, payment method, and player balance.
Can disk protection be toggled directly from the CRM?
Yes. Each PC card shows a disk protection icon with the current status — enabled or disabled. Toggling it takes one click in the interface, no physical access to the machine required.
