The wallboard is designed to be used on a wall mounted display screen, visible to multiple users at a time. To optimize this usage, a full screen toggle () is provided which activates the browsers full screen mode This can be found in the top right of the View.

When full screen mode is enabled, the browser's application border along with the main title bar for the website should be hidden, allowing the view to grow to the size of the screen.

Opening the Wallboard Full Screen

In most circumstances where a wall mounted display is used, a dedicated PC will be installed to drive the screen and run the browser that the wallboard will be displayed in.

When this setup is used, the PC and wallboard need to handle reboots and come back to an operational state without any user intervention. For this to happen, the following needs to take place:

1. The PC needs to be configured to automatically logon after a reboot
2. A shortcut needs to be called on start-up that opens the browser at the appropriate page
3. The MiVoice Office Application Suite website needs to have 'Use Windows Authentication' enabled so it automatically logs the user in.

Auto PC Logon

To setup a computer to automatically logon, the following keys need to be added to the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

• AutoAdminLogon = 1
• DefaultDomainName = [Your domain name]
• DefaultUsername = [Wallboard username]
• DefaultPassword = [Wallboard user account password]

Once these keys have been created and their values populated, the PC should automatically logon each time it is rebooted.

Browser Shortcuts

When using Internet Explorer or Chrome, it is currently possible to load the browsers in 'Kiosk' mode. This will take the browser straight to the specified URL and will load it full screen. In addition, it will stop general interaction with the website.

To activate Kiosk mode, create a shortcut for the browser required:

Internet Explorer:

 "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" -k http://[APP_SUITE_SVR]/Secure/Dashboard/Index

Chrome:

"C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" -Kiosk "http://[APP_SUITE_SVR]/Secure/Dashboard/Index">

Windows Authenticated Website Login

If MiVoice Office Application Suite has been installed on a Windows Domain, the website can be configured to automatically log users in with their windows credentials, saving them the effort of typing out their username and password each time.

This is extremely useful when setting up a Wallboard to automatically load when a PC starts up. To make use of this feature, ensure the steps below are followed:

• Enable 'Use Windows Authentication' in the Website settings (''\Servers\Website)
• Make sure the Windows Username parameter is set against any user wishing to use the feature. 
• Configure the browser to recognize the MiVoice Office Application Suite URL as a Local Intranet site.

Once the steps above have been correctly followed, anytime a configured user browses to the MiVoice Office Application Suite website, they will automatically be logged on.
