I am almost done configuring TM. Really like the new version, Kudos!

I have a few questions on things I have not been able to figure out:

1. Dashboard Control. What does it do and how do you configure it?

2. Can you assign specific sound clips to specific level? I was under the impression it could be done but I have not found a way to do it.

Not trying to be a smart lower end of the back here, but,

1. Did you take a look at the course catalog?

2. Specific sounds clips per level, not that I have ever seen.

No I did a search in the help file included inside the software.

I will have a look at the links you posted. Thanks.

Out of curiosity, how thoroughly did you look in the help?

A simple search for "dashboard" yields many good results, one of which is the page for "Console Dashboard". On that page, there's a pretty complete description of what a Console Dashboard is, what it contains (components, with a link to more information on those) and the fact that Console Dashboards are specified by a Console Theme (with a link to more information on that) along with a description of how the application determines which Dashboard is displayed at any point in time.

There's a match for the "Console Dashboard Designer" which contains the detail on how to create your own dashboards and links to more information on how to use various parts of it.

There are matches for detailed information on the Dashboard Map, the Dashboard Control Panel, how it works on clients, Overlays, etc.

I put a LOT of work into the help starting with v3, so if someone can't find something they are looking for, I need to know how I can make it more obvious.

Hi,

Ok I used the search fonction and found the page regarding the Dashboard Control Panel.

When I checked I used the navigation panel, not the search feature. I found info about pretty much every pannel except that one. I re-did that and noticed info is split into 2 categories: (Entities) and (Designer, Dialogs and Panels). So my best guess is I went through entities and did not notice the other section.

So after reading the info regarding the Dashboard Control panel it looks like I don't have anything to do with it. It's there to allow overrides but otherwise no configuring is required.

I ran 3 tournaments this week with TM V3 and everything went smoothly.

I am using 2 dashboards on rotation mode during play, is there a way to have one display longer than the other? I did not find a way to do it but I am thinking I could simply make a copy of the one I want to be on longer and add the copy to the rotation.

As for learning the software, I went through the videos instead the help file. Your videos are a great way to learn the software, great job! The help file is really complete too but it's not as much fun to watch Wink

Glad the videos are helpful. I need to get around to finishing the others.
