Name

This is the name of the Device Panel you are building. It will also be used as the file name when the Device Panel is saved. If nothing is entered a unique guid will be created.

Description

This is optional, but allows a detailed description of the Device Panel to be recorded.

Background Colour

The background colour of the Device Panels Canvas.

Width (px) & Height (px)

The width and height of the Canvas of the Device Panel being built in pixels. There should be little need to change this value unless an exact fit to a tablet is required or a huge overhead panel is being built.

Grid X (px) & Grid Y (px)

The snap to grid size. See this Canvas article for more information.

Lit Method

See the article on Lighting for further information.

Device Panel Qty

If you wish to use the same Device Panel across multiple tablets but each configured differently, then increase this value instead of duplicating the Device Panel. A Device Panel with an increased qty allows a different configuration to be applied against each Device Panel number.

Auto Fit

When this is enabled a Device Panel will be scaled on the tablet to fit the screen space available. In some cases this will mean an even gap will be created either left and right or top and bottom on the tablet screen.

Disabling this option means the Device Panel will display as it is and may not fit the tablet screen, however the Device Panel can be moved around on the tablet to view the hidden parts of it.
