What's displayed on your InfoBoards is managed through InfoBoard Groups. By grouping InfoBoards, you have the flexibility to set up all InfoBoards to display the same information or have multiple groups representing areas at your facility that display different information. In addition, a Business Unit is assigned to each InfoBoard Group. Users assigned to the Business Unit have access to all InfoBoards assigned to the InfoBoard Group.
In addition to InfoBoard Groups, each InfoBoard has a unique profile where you will manage its assigned InfoBoard Group and other device settings.
The following provides the settings and information available from an InfoBoard Group and InfoBoard Profile. Commonly after onboarding is complete, you will manage and update settings from your InfoBoard Groups.
