  Screens section

  The Screens section lets you monitor all current applications and create new applications and customers.

  Use the customer filter to get an application overview of a specific customer.

  Use the state filter to view paired or unpaired applications. Paired applications have a device attached. Unpaired applications are either waiting to be paired with a device, or they're just working as virtual applications for test use or demonstration.
  An application can also be marked as a "test" - if you wish to hide it independently from the list.

  Following properties are shown on each application item:

  

  Software ID:  the ID of the application as a unique content bundle with specific display settings.

  Name: the given name of the application  

  Customer: the customer owning the application

  Hardware ID: the ID of the device the application is currently paired to (empty if unpaired or pending)

  Status: the current status of the paired device. Se table below:

  • 2.2.1

    Device status

    Status	Color	Description
    Pending		Pairing is initiated but awaiting confirmation from the device. In most cases the device is offline.
    Offline		No contact with device. Most likely turned off or not connected to internet.

    Application Control Panel

    Click on the application list item and the control panel for the application will open.

    

    The Settings tab holds all information about the application including its name, library and if it's a dedicated test application - all editable fields.

    When paired with a device (like the application shown above) all given device information are displayed in the Paired Device field. The hardware information are only available if the software could successfully obtain them from the OS. From here you can Reboot the machine, enter it via TeamViewer (if it is bibliotheca hardware) and you can push the latest content to the device. 

    If the application hasn't been paired yet, the device field will display fields to let you pair a device see: Paring device with application

    The Log tab displays the live log from the device, so you can see what actions the device has executed and what problems there might be.
