Settings Menu
There is also a menu button at the top right, which gives access to a number of settings and information readouts:
- Server License – If this device will be acting as the local server, this is where the server license key is input (currently available on the Devices page in the portal).
- Reset Device – If a device needs to be paired to a different room or event, this is how it is reset.
- Timer Master – If multiple devices in the same room are being used to start presentation files, only the time master will automatically trigger the countdown timer.
- Connected Devices – a list of other devices allocated tot he same room.
- Event Day – This is an event day switcher. It will default to the device day, but this can be overridden by selecting a different event day from the dropdown. Useful for rehearsal days to getting a headstart on downloading files for the next day.
- Caching Location – By Default, presentation files downloaded to the device are saved in a folder on the desktop, but this can be switched to a folder in “Documents”.
- Connection information – Some information about the device and its connection to the server.
At the bottom right of the software manager is a bell icon. When the software has been updated to a new version, there will be a notification here.
