Using the SMART ID card with the display

After you set up your SMART ID card, you can use it to sign in to any NFC-enabled SMART Board interactive display with iQ.

Signing in with your SMART ID card gives you access to the usual features of your SMART Account. You can personalize the display’s settings (such as the display’s wallpaper) and download files from Google Drive or OneDrive. If your SMART Account is connected to an active SMART Learning Suite subscription, you can also sync all your lesson files from SMART Notebook software and Lumio by SMART to the display.

NFC sign in requires:

  • iQ system version 3.12 SP2 or later.

  • the display to be connected to a network.

Important 

Only SMART ID cards are supported.

Notes 

  • When you hold your SMART ID card to the card reader area on the frame, keep the card as flat as possible.

  • If you select a different service region, you’ll need to set up your SMART ID card again by removing the card and setting it up again.

  • If you’re signed in to your SMART Account on one display but then sign in on a second display, you’ll be signed into your SMART Account on both displays.

Tip 

After signing into your SMART Account, be sure to sign out at the end of the session to keep your account secure. For extra security, IT administrators can enable the Automatic inactivity log out setting within Settings > Security to make the display sign out of a user’s SMART Account automatically after a period of inactivity.

See System settings.
