TV Dashboards
A TV dashboard is a live page built to sit on a screen on your floor — today’s shipments, orders due, on-hand by location — refreshing on its own so nobody has to touch it. You describe what it should show; an administrator pairs the screen.
Describe the dashboard and what each screen should show.
Build a floor dashboard with today’s open orders, units shipped today, and a bar chart of orders by rep.
A warehouse screen showing on-hand value by location and anything below its reorder point.
ILC MCP drafts the dashboard and gives you a preview link that runs against live Fishbowl data, read-only, so you see the real screen before it goes up. Ask for changes in plain language — “bigger numbers”, “add a shipments-by-hour chart”, “drop the chart, just the totals” — and it revises the same page.
When it looks right, ILC MCP publishes it as a page screens can show. Editing a published dashboard later re-publishes it, and every screen already showing it picks up the change on its own — no need to touch the screens.
Getting it onto a screen
Section titled “Getting it onto a screen”Publishing makes the dashboard available; it doesn’t put it on a wall. An administrator does that part, once per screen:
| Who | Does |
|---|---|
| You | Ask for the dashboard, preview it, and publish it. |
| Administrator | Pairs each screen, assigns a dashboard to it, and can switch a screen to a different dashboard or unpair it later. |
The customer’s brand colour and the default look of the screens are also set by an administrator. See Reporting in the Administrator guide for pairing and assigning devices.
Dashboard or page?
Section titled “Dashboard or page?”A TV dashboard is built for an unattended screen — big, auto-refreshing, chart- first. If you instead want a page you open in a browser when you need it, build a CloudPage. Both show live numbers; the difference is where they live.
