Manage multi-dashboards

One dashboard is rarely enough for a real show. With Photon+ you can create several dashboards and organise your controls by scene, by venue or by group of fixtures.

Open the dashboards menu

From the Live Dashboard tab, tap the name of the current dashboard at the top of the screen to open the dashboards menu. From there you can switch dashboard, create a new one, rename, reorder or delete the existing ones.

When you have more than one dashboard, page dots appear at the bottom of the Live view to show how many dashboards you have and which one is currently active.

Add, rename, reorder or delete a dashboard

In the dashboards menu :

• Tap to add a new dashboard. You will be asked to give it a name (for example "Verses", "Chorus", "Front lights"…).
• Tap on the dashboard name on the top left to appear the list to select your dashboard, you can touch . From there you can :
  • Rename a dashboard by tapping its name and typing a new one.
  • Reorder the dashboards by drag & drop — the order in the menu is the same as the order of the swipe pages.
  • Delete a dashboard by swiping it to the left. A confirmation is asked before the dashboard and all its widgets are removed. At least one dashboard must always exist, so the last one cannot be deleted.

Photon+ is required to keep more than one dashboard. Without an active subscription, the additional dashboards stay readable but are locked and marked with a yellow star.

Switch between dashboards

You have two ways to navigate between your dashboards :

• Swipe left or right anywhere on the dashboard to move to the previous or next page. The page dots at the bottom follow your selection.
• Open the dashboards menu and tap a dashboard in the list. A check mark confirms the selection and the menu closes immediately.

The selected dashboard is remembered between sessions, so the app reopens on the dashboard you were using last.

Move a widget from one dashboard to another

Made a button on the wrong dashboard? No need to recreate it. Activate the dashboard edit mode with , then press-and-hold the widget and drag it to the left or right edge of the current dashboard. If another dashboard is available on that side, a blue bar lights up along the edge of the screen. Keep holding the widget against the edge for about two seconds — a popup then appears so you can pick the destination dashboard for the widget.
