Screen Settings
Overview
Screen settings are used to create a profile to manage the behavior of your desk screens and room screens. There is no limit to the number of profiles you can create. We recommend that you have a maximum of 1,000 room screens be added to each profile to maintain efficient loading times when editing a profile.
When you create Setting Profiles, these can be created to the Global level. After you have created the Setting Profile, this can be applied to the screen. Learn how to do this in Rooms & Screens and Desks & Screens.
Access Settings
From the menu, select Device Management > Settings and the Manage Settings displays the list of profiles.
The Manage Settings lets you:
- (A) Search - In the Search field enter in the profile name and this will search through both the Rooms Screens and Desk Screen list.
- (B) Add - Either a Room Settings or Desk Settings.
- (C) Status - Change the default; click the Set As Default button and the profile is changed.
- (D) Edit - Click a setting's profile name and this lets you rename or edit the settings.
- (E) Actions - Click the Delete icon to remove a profile you no longer want.
Add a new Setting Profile
The steps to add a new Settings Profile are the same for a desk or room, however there are a few differences in the settings.
- Either click the Add Desk settings button or the the Add Room settings button and the Add Screen Settings Profile.
- In the Settings group name, enter the name and we recommend you use a meaningful name.
- See the Settings Overview below for how to complete the settings.
Edit an existing Setting Profile
- Click a setting's profile name and the "Add Screen Setting Profile" screen displays.
- Country or location - If you edit the default profile, then you won't be able to edit the country or location. You will need to edit a different profile's country or location and then set this profile as the default.
- If needed, in the Settings name, edit the name.
- Click the Next button and the settings display, see the Settings Overview below for how to complete the settings.
- When you have finished, scroll to the end of the page and click the Save button.
