Changing the Appearance of Dashboard Items

There are a variety of ways to display data points on your dashboard. You
can select Numeric and Zone item preferences, create overriding default
preferences for specific items, and arrange items as tiles on the screen
(for easier sorting on a User’s desktop, or to improve POS display
functionality).

To change Dashboard data point appearance:

1

From the viewLinc desktop, choose Options | System Configuration
| Locations Manager

.

2

Select a Location from the Locations tree.

3

On the Location Properties pane, select the Dashboard tab.

4

Click Options |

Dashboard Preferences,

then choose to modify

Numeric Items, Zone Items

(font size only), or Tiling.

You can choose to display Location data in up to 4 columns - the greater
number of Locations may require a greater number of columns). Test
each option to determine which display suits your needs most effectively.

Note: A single-column list is most effective for rotating POS display

purposes.
