Create a sales dashboard from your phone or tablet

Accessing the Dashboard

Open your mobile browser: Use Safari (iOS) or Chrome (Android) for optimal performance.

• Go to URL: https://rtdashboards.com/login.
• Log in: Enter your username and password to access your dashboard.
• You will redirect back to the dashboards

Adding to Home Screen (Quick Access)

When you use this option you don't have the browser navigation etc.

Display always on *

If you want to use your phone or iPad, you don't want the screen to turn off after a few seconds or minutes. On iOS, you can select "Never" for the screen timeout. On Android, there the "Never" option is not available on each phone/tablet. On Android, you can use an app like Stay Awake or see the section below about kiosk apps.

IOS

1. Open the Settings app: This is the app with the grey icon containing gears.
2. Tap on "Display & Brightness": This option is usually found in the third section of the Settings menu.
3. Select "Auto-Lock": This setting controls how long your screen stays on before timing out.
4. Choose "Never": This will prevent your screen from timing out automatically.

* Although RTDashboards includes a built-in screensaver for the sales and multishop dashboards, using the always-on feature is at your own risk.

Using in Kiosk Mode

Kiosk mode can be a valuable tool for deploying and managing your real-time digital dashboards in office environments, ensuring a focused, secure, and efficient user experience.

iOS (Guided Access):

• Go to Settings > Accessibility > Guided Access.
• Toggle Guided Access on.
• Set a passcode.
• Open Safari and navigate to your dashboard.
• Triple-click the side button (or home button on older models).
• Circle any areas of the screen you want to disable.
• Tap "Start."
• To exit, triple-click the side button and enter your passcode.

Android (Screen Pinning or Kiosk Apps):

• Screen Pinning (built-in):
• Go to Settings > Security > Advanced > Screen pinning (may vary depending on device).
• Toggle Screen pinning on.
• Open Chrome and navigate to your dashboard.
• Tap the Overview button (square).
• Tap the pin icon at the bottom of the dashboard window.
• To unpin, press and hold the Overview and Back buttons simultaneously.

Kioks apps

With kiosk apps, you have just a bit more functionality. Such as password protection, automatically going directly to RTDashboards upon startup of the phone or tablet, fullscreen mode and perhaps most importantly (on Android) preventing the screen from going into standby mode.

The downside is that you do pay a one-time fee for it.
