Background of Cisco Spaces Runbooks
At Cisco Spaces, we aim to simplify the deployment process for IT administrators, partners, and end customers by providing comprehensive and easy-to-follow documentation. These deployment guides — known as runbooks — are structured resources that walk users through everything from initial onboarding to advanced configurations.
Runbooks distill complex technical workflows into digestible steps, enriched with screenshots, architecture diagrams, and real-world best practices. Whether you’re deploying sensors, integrating with APIs, or configuring location analytics, the runbooks serve as reliable guides through the process.
Who is the intended audience for these?
The runbooks are designed for a wide range of users, including:
- IT administrators responsible for deploying Cisco Spaces across one or more sites.
- Partners and system integrators, who implement solutions for customers.
- Facility managers who oversee building operations and sensor networks.
- Support engineers who need a quick reference for troubleshooting or validating configurations.
While some runbooks assume a baseline familiarity with Cisco technologies (e.g., Catalyst, Meraki, Webex), others are written with guided, beginner-friendly walkthroughs for those new to the platform.
How often are documents added or updated?
We maintain a continuous publishing cycle, with new runbooks added and existing ones updated on an as-needed basis. Updates are driven by:
- New product or feature releases
- Changes in UI or setup flows
- Customer feedback and field learnings
- Deprecation or sunset of older components
Each month there is a changelog update for runbooks, so users can easily track what’s new or different from month to month.
Where can these deployment guides be found?
All Cisco Spaces runbooks are publicly accessible and hosted on our knowledge base. You can browse them by platform or outcome — such as the Spaces OS, Asset Tracking, or Indoor Navigation — or search for specific topics and questions.

Additionally, changelogs are published monthly so you can stay up-to-date on the latest documentation.
