Personalized Device Interface
The value of personalized interaction between people and software continues to grow. Personalization trends have now reached not only personal smart devices and retail services, but the workplace as well. Some companies may find it challenging to organize and set up a modern office fit for 2024. How can a Managed Printing System (MPS) application help to tackle this problem?
Nowadays, with technology reaching all corners of life, users interacting with any software interface expect to be treated as individuals, not just a number (56% of users feel treated like numbers according to a Salesforce study (1)). This daunting problem can be resolved by adding more personalization to the everyday interaction between a person and a system.
Flexible Layout of Embedded Terminals
In sync with this idea, the MyQ administrator can create personalized Top Menu actions, based on the most relevant needs of multi-functional printer (MFP) users, and organize them in any way needed. Easy actions can be re-ordered according to frequency of use, grouped, and placed into thematic folders, helping users find what they need in no time.

Customizable Icon Interface
MyQ's Terminal Theme Editor offers companies a highly customizable solution for personalizing the interface of their embedded terminals. Through the editor, users can manage and customize themes, including titles, colors, and icons for terminal actions. Customization options include changing background colors, text colors, and terminal action icons to align with a company’s branding or user preferences. This flexibility ensures a tailored user experience that reflects the organization’s identity.

Tailor-Made for Each User
ActionsAs time goes on, the trends of the modern office change. A modern worker is surrounded by tools to make their work easier, but which can also present challenges to use. The digital environment employees find themselves in impacts their productivity, satisfaction, and engagement.
This is why you can define permissions for each folder or terminal action. That means users will only see the buttons of actions they have permission to perform.
Actions they do not have access to, or which are not supported on a particular device, are not displayed.

According to Forbes, “workers who say that their technology is enabling productivity, compared to those who don’t, are 158% more engaged in their jobs and have 61% higher intent-to-stay at the company beyond three years” (4).
Even printer environments can be personalized to remove possible roadblocks to employee engagement, like the need to edit personal details using the Edit Account Top Menu action.
Guest and Visitor Views
If your company has printing options for employees and guests of the company, you can simplify their interactions.
Guest login gives your visitors, external contractors, and other 3rd parties the ability to use MFDs in your organization.
The Guest login screen can also represent your organization – even here, you can display a custom logo configured in the MyQ Server settings.
