Get Started with Neat Pulse
Last updated on May 21, 2025
Introduction
Neat Pulse is a cloud-based platform that helps you manage and monitor your Neat devices. It lets you update Neat firmware-specific settings, control devices remotely, and view live environmental data and logs. Neat Pulse provides a Neat-level view that is not available through either Zoom’s ZDM or Microsoft’s TAC platforms.
In this article we aim to provide you with a brief introduction to each of the features of Neat Pulse, and link to an article that provides more information about the feature.
Note: In other related documents, Neat Pulse may also be referred to as Neat Pulse Control (as it was previously was called Neat Pulse Control). “Devices” refer to Neat Bars/Neat Pad/Neat Boards/Neat Frame.

1. Requirements for using Neat Pulse
Before you can enroll and manage your Neat device in Neat Pulse, it must be fully set up. This includes running a supported version of NeatOS, being connected to the network, completing the out-of-box (OOB) setup, and pairing with another device if required.
2. Log in to Neat Pulse
When your company signs up with a Neat Pulse plan (Starter, Plus, or Pro), Neat sets up your organization and creates the first Owner account (we’ll explain more about what an Owner is later under Users).
That Owner can then invite more users. And when your user is added to Neat Pulse, you’ll receive an invitation email with a link to log in (pulse.neat.no)–using the login method linked to your account.
To sign in to your Neat Pulse organization, just use the same login method you chose when your account was first set up.
Sign-in methods:
- Google Account
- Microsoft Account (Active Directory accounts only, not personal Outlook.com accounts)
- SAML SSO
- Email address and password
3. Devices, Rooms, and Profiles:
When you log in to Neat Pulse, you’ll land on the Devices page. Here, you’ll see all the Neat devices currently managed by Neat Pulse.
–For step-by-step help and a full guide on How to Manage and Configure Devices in Neat Pulse, go here.
Neat Pulse groups all devices into Rooms. A Room is a way to organize and group your Neat devices based on where they are physically or how they are used.
- A Room might represent a real-world space, like “Conference Room A” or “Huddle Room 2”.
- It can contain one or more Neat devices (for example, a Neat Bar and a Neat Pad working together).
- Each room can have its own settings, or you can group multiple rooms to share the same settings by assigning them a common Profile. You can also organize rooms by Region or Location to make them easier to manage within your organization.

The Devices page is also where you add devices.
4. Enroll a device in Neat Pulse

5. Users: Owner vs. Admin
Neat Pulse is administered by users. There are two types of users:
- Owner: Owners have access to all settings in the organization. There can be multiple owners by organization.
- Admin: Access for admins is restricted to specific regions. Admins can only administer endpoints within these regions & cannot edit profiles. They cannot add users & edit organization settings.
6. Settings
The Settings section allows users to change their organization’s name, enable/disable analytics and most importantly, add regions and locations to their Neat Pulse. These regions and locations can be helpful when creating a view of specific Neat devices in the organization.

7. Audit logs
Audit logs are used for monitoring the actions taken within Neat Pulse. The Audit log page allows the logs to be filtered either by ‘User Action’ or by ‘Device Change’. The ‘Export logs’ button will download a .csv file containing the full log.

8. Organizations
When first creating your user account, the Neat team will create an organization for your company, however there is no limit to the number of organizations a user can be added to in Neat Pulse. Moving from one organization to another does not require signing in/out.
Users can view a list of organizations that they are a part of, by clicking on their current organization name in the left-hand menu.
In the example below, clicking on ‘Neat – Support org‘ (Figure 1) takes the user to the Organization view (Figure 2) where they are able to view the two organizations they are member of on Pulse (e.g. Neat – Support org and Neat Pulse – PS).

9. Troubleshooting from Neat Pulse
Neat Pulse provides a centralized platform to manage and monitor all of your Neat devices in your organizations. This is especially beneficial if you are trying to remotely troubleshoot and issue a Neat device user may have reported to you.
Remote Control
The Remote Control feature allows you to start a remote session with a Neat device to allow you to view, manage, update a Neat device from your web browser. Paired devices will allow for remote control of both devices at the same time.

Send feedback
It is also possible to obtain logs directly from the Neat devices that are active in Neat Pulse. This is very useful if you are trying to troubleshoot a problem and want to send a problem report to the Neat technical support team.
In order to do this, navigate to Devices -> find the Room you are trying to troubleshoot -> Click on the image (it has to be Online) -> Click on the … (more) icon (top right) -> Submit Logs. It will open your default email client and pre-fill the TO field (support@neat.no) and Subject (unique code) of the email. In the email body, please provide the descriptions of the issue and send the email to raise a support ticket with the Neat technical support team.

10. Filters
Filters allow an easy way to only view the rooms (Devices page) or log entries (Audit logs page) that you are interested in. It can be accessed from the top-right of the screen and the user is presented with various options pertaining to that area. For example, on Devices page, Neat Pulse allows you to filter based on Status/Device/Profile/Region/Location, whereas on Audit Logs page, it allows you to filter based on Date/User/Event-type.
