Displaying dashboards in TV-screen mode

This guide explains how to put a dashboard into TV-screen mode.

Introduction

TV-screen mode allows you to display dashboards on a screen without interruption. When you enable TV-screen mode, Adverity prevents session log-outs from being triggered and automatically refreshes the dashboard every 10 minutes.

If a dashboard has multiple pages, when TV-screen mode is enabled, Adverity automatically cycles through the pages on a 15-minute interval.
