  • 1.  Dashboard – MFC - Frame - label cards

    I was wondering if there is a way to tag/label the cards in a frame on dashboard, such as the attached? example ("CAMERA 1 MUX")

    If not, it would be a great feature to add, as for anyone new looking at the frames to easily identify the cards without having a cheat sheet, I know the 3 letter acronym is a good start as they identify what the card is, but where you have several MUX & DMX's in the same frame next to each other, makes it a bit more difficult.

    Thanks,
    Ben

    Hi Ben
    Thank you for the feedback - I will pass this on to our Product Manager. For our current release, there are 2 mechanisms that might make things a little easier for you.

    If you use the DashBoard Advanced Tree View (instructions available in the DashBoard User's Guide), you have the ability to rename cards or frames that are directly inside of a folder. It will not impact the tab name or the user interface once it is open but it may make it easier for you to find which one you want to bring to the foreground.  

    Another mechanism would be to use Custom Panels to wrap the device UIs you are trying to use and provide additional information. There are any number of ways to use this technique to provide tab switchers based on your own naming and to provide anything else you might want but it is admittedly more work.

    Hope this helps.

    Maybe I'm not fully understanding your workflow, but in the Setup tab of the MFC card for each frame, you do have the option to relabel each card. This also shows up in the card tab and the standard device tree. Further custom naming, already mentioned, can be done in the advanced tree.

    Hi Matt & James,

    Thanks for your help, looks like my glue frames are running firmware version 2.10 where yours is 2.15, I do have a newer frame, the OGX glow frame with a higher firmware version, but it must also be older version compared to today, as doesn't have card slot names on either frame.

     

    Looks like I need to do some updating,
    Thanks

    Ben
