Optimizing your View of a Published Link/Wallboard

Creating a published link (or wallboard) of your dashboard allows you to share the dashboard with other users without them having to log in, and also makes it easy to display on a TV or monitor to be viewed by everyone in the room. Once you've decided to create a wallboard, you may find you need to make some changes to optimize it for the best view. If you haven't created a published link yet, see our article here for directions.

Here are some tricks and tips for optimizing the view of your dashboard depending on the screen size:

  1. 1

    Increase the zoom on your browser for larger screens. In Chrome and Internet Explorer:

    Chrome browser zoom settings Internet Explorer zoom settings

  2. 2

    Adjust the screen resolution on the computer broadcasting to the TV.
  3. 3

    Adjust the size of the charts on the dashboard.

  4. 4

    Try a different browser. In our experience, dashboards look best in Chrome or Firefox. Microsoft Edge tends to over-zoom the dashboard, leaving less space for charts below the top level.
  5. 5

    Separate the dashboard into two dashboard tabs, open each link in a different window, and arrange the windows like this:

We hope these tips help enhance the view of your wallboard!
