Set up a wallboard

A wallboard is full-screen display of a dashboard. It hides any navigation menus and rotates through the gadgets of the dashboard. This simplified view makes it ideal for presenting on TV monitors.

Gadgets that have the same header color in a column are grouped together, and the wallboard will rotate through each group of gadgets. Gadgets that have different header colors in a column will show up at same time.

To view a dashboard as a wallboard:

  1. Select Dashboards > View all dashboards from the global navigation.

  2. Select the dashboard that you want to view as a wallboard.

  3. Select More actions () > View as wallboard.
