Member Wi-Fi, guest Wi-Fi, and public IP data/Wi-Fi amenities require configuration, or assignment to a specific user or IP address. Member hours/credits and voice amenities also require configuration, so you may have multiple amenity types to configure at one time. This article explains configuring data/Wi-Fi amenities.
Once you complete the amenity configuration process, members you add on the Amenity Configuration Members screen or leads you assign amenities to become members of the company. Guests do not become members.
Kube lists active Wi-Fi amenity assignments on the Wi-Fi screen of the member's profile.
NOTES:
If you have not purchased Yardi Kube Wi-Fi, Kube does not show data/Wi-fi information.
Depending on your assigned role and permissions, and the version of Kube your organization uses, some or all of these menus or services may not be available or displayed.
This article describes assigning amenities, but you may have terminations to complete if the configuration you are completing is from an amended contract. If there are terminations for a data/Wi-Fi amenity, click the Termination button next to the amenities you want to terminate for each amenity type listed in the procedure below.
If you do not have a certain type of amenity to configure, skip those steps in the procedure below.
Before you begin
Before you can configure member Wi‑Fi, guest Wi‑Fi, or public IP amenities, the Wi‑Fi amenity must already be included in an active contract. Kube only allows configuration for data/Wi‑Fi amenities that have been purchased and added to a contract through an order. If the Wi‑Fi amenity is not on the contract, it will not appear on the Amenity Configuration screen, and configuration cannot begin.
If needed, add the Wi‑Fi amenity to a new or amended contract first. After the contract is activated, Kube prompts you to configure any new or updated amenities. For more information about adding a contract, see Creating a contract.
Configuration timeline
Members and prospects can purchase configurable amenities through the Prospect and Member Portals. When a member or prospect completes their purchase, they have the option of configuring their amenities then or waiting. If they do not complete the configuration, you will need to complete the configuration on the Amenity Configuration screen.
When you create a contract that includes configurable amenities, you have the option of configuring amenities immediately after you activate the contract. Kube also prompts you to immediately configure amenities after amending a contract if you added new configured amenities or if you removed any configured amenities that were in the original contract. If you removed configured amenities, you will terminate those amenities when you complete the amenity configuration process.
If you decline configuration when prompted, you can complete configuration later on the Amenity Configuration screen of the property tied to the order. This article directs you to the Amenity Configuration screen to start your configurations.
NOTE: An order is a collection of all charges made at one time. All orders with New statuses include amenities that require configuration.
Configuration status
On the Amenity Configuration screen, Kube lists amenity configurations by order. All orders with New status require configuration. Once you finish a configuration, click the status name to update the status to Pending, Completed, or Cancelled.
To configure data/Wi-Fi amenities
Select Properties in the top menu.
In the grid, locate the property tied to the amenity configuration and click the property's name. The Property Spaces screen appears.

In the grid, locate the order that includes the amenities you want to configure and click the Order ID number. The Members tab appears.
