Summer's upon us, and the myViewBoard team is here to bring you another monthly update! Read on to learn the latest features and changes to Manager, Whiteboard, myviewboard.com, and more.

Manager broadcast updates and more

This month, we primarily have Manager Advanced updates to share. Namely, we're happy to provide Advanced users with more broadcasting options!

First up, for web page broadcasting, you will now see the option to automatically refresh the web page during a broadcast. Some web pages may update content while the page is open, so we're providing this option to ensure your broadcast continues to present the latest information to your intended viewers.

Find this option when preparing a broadcast after selecting the web page option. When enabling this feature, set a time interval after which the web page will automatically refresh. The web page will continue to refresh at this time interval so long as the broadcast continues.

Next, we've added three new broadcast layouts! We're happy to offer even more broadcasting options to suit your campus communication needs.

Finally, here are some quick Manager updates:

• Reports > export (Advanced users): View more device usage information in the exported XLSX file.
  • New fields: serial number, firmware version, operating system, notes, group name, date of enrollment, Manager version, and Wi-Fi SSID.
• New language support (all Manager users): Catalan is now supported in the console! Hola!

Whiteboard enhancements

Let's get into the latest feature improvements for the different Whiteboard versions!

Windows

This month, the Windows version of Whiteboard comes with a few improvements.

First, when applying backgrounds, the option to apply the background as an editable image is now available.

After applying your desired background as an editable image, note that images will initially apply as locked.

Additionally, here are the rest of the Windows version of Whiteboard updates:

• Dropbox: When a large number (e.g., hundreds) of files exist in a Dropbox folder, multi-page view is now supported in the file manager.
• Undo/redo: We have also added support for undo/redo across several objects. (Review the May release notes for the full breakdown.)
• Sticky Notes (in the Adorning Menu): The spin feature has been removed as an option for sticky notes.

Android and iOS

For the Android and iOS versions of Whiteboard, look for the following enhancements:

• Embedded Browser > Pen: Pen thickness and opacity sliders are now supported when annotating in the Embedded Browser.
• Embedded Browser > Screenshot:
  • When using the screenshot tool in the Embedded Browser, the page's URL where the screenshot is taken will be embedded in the pasted screenshot on the canvas.
  • Edit the hyperlink embedded in the screenshot by pressing the image.

• Grouped objects > Hyperlink: Added the option to embed a hyperlink into grouped objects from the adorning menu.
