Monitoring Manager is an application for Windows that allows you to easily design and play an automated rotating program for your monitoring screen(s).
How to design
- Create a Profile
- Press the 'Create' button on the main window to make a new profile.
- Optionally you can select one 'background' app, for example a music file or youtube link, that does not need to be displayed.
- Select if you want this profile to run automatically when the user logs in.
- You can create multiple profiles, so you can play a different set of 'scenes' depending on your needs at the time.
- Create a Scene
- A scene is a collection of apps that will be displayed at the same time, for a set duration.
- When a profile is played, the Monitoring Manager will go to the next scene after the scene time has ended, and loop at the end.
- You can change the play order of the scenes later in the scenes overview window.
- Once a profile has been created, press the 'Scenes' button to show the scenes for the selected profile.
- Press the 'Create' button to make a new scene.
- Give the scene a unique and distinctive name.
- Select the apps that you want to display in this scene from the available apps list (read "Create an App" if you haven't created one yet).
- Per selected app, you can choose where the window of that app will be located on which screen. You could use the Window-tool for a non-standard location and size.
- Choose the duration that will dictate how long this scene will be displayed for.
- Create an App
- You can either add an application manually, or use the Website-tool to easily add a website as an app.
- Give the app a unique and distinctive name.
- Enter the path of the file that needs to be run.
- Optionally you can set the arguments for the file.
- Optionally you can set the keystroke(s) that need to be send to the app once launched.
- Optionally you can set the keystroke(s) that need to be send to the app every predefined time.
- When using the Website-tool:
- Select the browser that you want to use to view the website.
- Enter the website URL.
- Optionally you can set the interval at which the website will be refreshed, keep at 0 to disable automated refresh.
- Optionally you can set the browser window location and size (it is recommended to do this at scene-level instead).
- Optionally you can set extra arguments for the browser.
- Manage Scenes
