myViewBoard settings

Set up your background, your myViewBoard name, and how your session behaves by customizing key settings.

Notification

The Notifications panel provides a centralized view of system alerts, messages, and updates. It allows users to manage, filter, and respond to notifications directly on the myViewBoard UI.

• Toggle sound
  Enables or disables audio alerts for incoming notifications. Use this to mute or unmute notification sounds without affecting system-wide audio settings.

• Clear all
  Removes all current notifications from the panel. This action cannot be undone and will dismiss all unread and read alerts.

• Mark all as read
  Flags all notifications as read, clearing any unread indicators. This helps reset the notification status without deleting the messages.

• Close
  Closes the Notifications panel. This does not clear or modify any notifications—just hides the panel from view.

• Filters
  Provides options to refine which notifications are displayed based on type, priority, or source. Use this to quickly find relevant alerts or reduce clutter.

Settings

The Settings panel contains options that customize the general UI and behavior of myViewBoard during your session.

Preferences Tab

The Preferences tab allows users to configure application settings according to their personal or regional needs. It provides control over display language, default formats, and input behavior to optimize the user experience.

• Language 
  Sets the language used throughout the application's interface. Change this setting to update all menus, buttons, and labels to the selected language.

• Default text style
  Specifies the default font family and size for newly created text content. Note that this can be manually overridden by selecting a different font during a session.

• Default unit 
  Defines the measurement unit used in layout and formatting tools. Choose between inches or centimeters to match regional standards, or personal preferences.

• Handwriting recognizer 
  Selects the engine and target language used for converting handwritten input to digital text. This setting affects the accuracy and behavior of the handwriting recognition feature.

System Config

The System Config tab provides system-level settings that control the default behavior and input handling. These options are designed to optimize performance and interaction on touch-enabled displays.

• Default mode
  Sets the initial operating mode when myViewBoard launches. Present Mode opens the canvas in full-screen, while Prepare Mode is optimized for editing and setup.

• Pen auto-smoothing
  Enables or disables automatic smoothing of pen input to create cleaner, more natural strokes. When off, pen input reflects raw strokes for precise or technical drawing needs.

• Autorun at startup 
  Determines whether myViewBoard launches automatically when the system starts. Enabling this ensures the app is ready for immediate use without manual launching.

• Palm eraser
  Allows users to erase content by resting their palm on the screen, simulating a natural erasing gesture. When off, erasing must be done using the Eraser tool.

• Finger only scrolls canvas 
  Restricts finger input to canvas navigation only, preventing accidental drawing or interaction. This setting is useful for differentiating between pen and touch input roles.

• Multi-touch 
  Enables or disables recognition of multiple simultaneous touch points. Turning this on allows two or more users to write on the myViewBoard canvas.

About

The About tab displays read-only information related to the current installation and environment, and provides version details, system identifiers, and access to update and support tools.

• Version
  Displays the current version of the myViewBoard app. Provide this information to customer support when performing troubleshooting, compatibility checks, or verifying update status.

• Check for Updates
  Click to trigger a manual check for available software updates. This ensures the user is running the latest version with the most recent features and fixes.

• Remote Control 
  Indicates whether the remote control feature is currently supported on the device. Availability may depend on system configuration or network access.

• Whiteboard Name
  Shows the designated name of the whiteboard instance. Use the name for easy identification in networked or collaborative environments.

• Email
  Displays the registered user’s or administrator’s email address associated with this installation.  This is typically used for authentication or contact purposes.

• Instance ID
  Provides a unique identifier for the installation. This ID may be required for licensing, support requests, or device management.

Theme & Layout

Theme & Layout contains options to customize the visual arrangement and appearance of the whiteboard interface. 

• Theme
  Select the visual style of the interface —such as light or dark mode— to improve visibility and comfort based on lighting conditions or personal preference.

• Toolbar Position
  Adjust the position where the toolbar appears on the screen—top, bottom, left, or right— to optimize workspace layout and accommodate different interaction styles.
