Default Layouts

Summary

The default layout for AthleticSB boards is an AthleticLIVE logo on black background. You can change this to any image or list of images you wish.

This layout appears when you open the board before any data arrives and disappears once a board receives data

You can revert to the default layout by sending a message to the scoreboard or clicking a button in AthleticSB

Changing the Logo

For All Boards

1. On the AthleticSB sidebar, click "Edit Default Settings"
2. Mode: local file, local directory, or online images. Online images requires images to be uploaded to the default image gallery (see below) first, is required to use with web boards or boards on broadcast panels, and needs internet to load images.
3. Select the image or images you wish to use. We highly recommend an SVG logo as that will look good at any size. If you must use a PNG or JPG image, it must be wider than the width of all of your scoreboards.
4. Do not scale images: by default images are scaled down and given a border, select this option if your image is the same resolution as your board and it will fill the whole board without a border
5. Transition time: if a logo directory or multiple online images are selected this is the time each image will be shown in milliseconds (allowed range of 3s to 120s)

For Individual Boards

1. Click the blue pencil edit icon on a board and scroll down to default layout
2. Mode: use default settings means that this board will inherit default settings from above
3. All of the other options are the same as the default settings for all boards

Default Image Gallery

1. Select "Default Image Gallery" from the sidebar, if you are a member of an AthleticLIVE Enterprise organization, you will be given the option to choose between your own account and the organization

1. Each account can group images into as many albums as desired, simply click "Create Album" to add a new album
2. When in an album, click "Upload Image", enter a name, and select an image from your computer to upload. Individual accounts are limited to 100 images and organizations are limited to 1000 images stored online at any time.

1. To use online images, click "Select Images" from the online images section of either Default Settings or Default Layout on a specific board. Navigate to the images you would like to include and click them in the order they should appear. A number will appear in the top left corner that is the order. Click "Clear" to deselect all images or "Select" to choose the current selection.

Changing to the Default Layout

Once an event ends, or if there is a break in the action, you may wish to change to the default layout instead of showing the last data sent to the board. This action can be accomplished in a few ways.

NOTE: The default layout disappears when the scoreboards receives more data

NOTE: For running scoreboards from FinishLynx, showing the time of day or having an open event will still cause the default layout to disappear
