What’s New ~ July 2020 - myViewBoard Blog

This July, we’ve introduced a few quality-of-life improvements to make myViewBoard easier to use.

Pop Quiz Improvements

Pop Quiz Improvements

We’ve added two new options on the Pop Quiz window:

Show or hide the question panel.
If you have questions prepared (added to the canvas) before the lesson, you can hide the question panel so the focus is on the question on the canvas. The question panel is still there when you need to deliver a question on the spot.
Show or hide all answers.
Gone are the days when you had to click each student’s responses individually. Now, you can simply click the icon to show all the answers at once. You can still click once on a response to open it individually.

This release adds the new Quick Selection feature. This feature allows users to quickly switch between options available for the active tool. To use:

Click the Pen tool. A set of colored dots should appear on the side. Click on a dot to immediately switch to that color. To see all colors, click the Pen tool icon again. Note that this works for all pen types except for the Shape pen and Magic Line pen.
Click the Shapes/Lines tool. The quick selection options should change depending on the current shape/line selected:
- Basic shapes (square, triangle, circle)
- 3D shapes (cube, sphere, pyramid)
- Lines (solid, arrow, dashed)

❖ ❖ ❖

We’ve also updated a few things on the backend to make your myViewBoard experience better:

Support for the Japanese language.
Changing themes will no longer remove any previously set background image, change the active pen, or reset text colors.
If the inserted AI pen object does not have any closed region, the color fill icon on the adorning menu is hidden.

For those not familiar, here’s a quick overview of these products:

myViewBoard Display allows users to mirror their desktop wirelessly to supported Interactive Flat Panels (IFP) and Wireless Presentation Displays (WPD). myViewBoard Display comes preinstalled on selected ViewBoard hardware, but can also be installed manually on any IFP or WPD that runs Android 6 or higher. Once myViewBoard display is installed on an IFP or WPD, users will only need to use a compatible browser to start mirroring their device screen to the host.
myViewBoard Device Management is a tool for Entity Admins to remotely manage multiple installations of Viewsonic visual solution devices such as ViewBoard. Note that this option is only available for users signed in using an Entity Admin account.

If you need media to broadcast on your device, head over to our new Device Management Media Resources page for ideas.
