Manager Advanced overview
Manager Advanced is an add-on service that gives myViewBoard Manager users access to a more robust set of ViewSonic device management tools. With Manager Advanced licenses, features such as broadcasting multimedia, transferring files, and scheduling automated tasks can be employed from within the Manager console.
Note that licenses are associated with an entity's account and not individual devices. These licenses can be switched between devices at any time. Make sure to purchase the appropriate number of Manager Advanced licenses to suit your organization's requirements.
