Boards iOS settings

These general settings can customize your user experience on iOS.

1. On the iPad, select the Navigation menu icon to open the main menu.

   On the iPhone, select your Profile icon to access Settings from the Home page.

   Alternatively, select More on the bottom Tab bar and select Profile.

2. Select Settings and scroll down to App Settings.

3. Enable Notifications sends a push notification to your device any time an administrator chooses to announce new board material via that method. Push notifications must also be allowed for the app on your device. See Advanced Settings for more information.

4. Enable TouchID/FaceID turns biometric authentication on and off for your device. If disabled, you have to authenticate with a password.

5. Remember Username stores the last username entered, so you'll only have to enter your password (or Touch ID) to access the app.

6. Auto Check for Updates is enabled by default and will automatically check for changes to your content when you sign in and view sections. Disabling this feature will allow sections to load instantly without displaying a loading screen, but you will need to check manually for updates.

7. The Auto Sync Current Books and Auto Sync Resource Center settings automatically download any new content found when a check for updates is made.

8. Support Region specifies the 24/7 Support number that displays in various areas throughout the app.

9. Use the Use built in Zoom and Use built in Webex options to select your preferred video conferencing options.

10. Collapse Committees can reduce scrolling in the bookshelf view of Current Books and Archived Books. When enabled, the bookshelf will display just board and committee titles, with the list of books collapsed within each title.

    Note

    This setting should only be enabled if you have access to many committees that each contain many books and you want to reduce scrolling in your bookshelf list view.

11. Show Hidden Books only appears for administrators, and allows them to preview books before publishing them.

12. Auto-hide Navigation Bars automatically hides the top and bottom navigation menus in the page view of a book or resource item. Turn this off if you would like to always see the menus and not have to select the screen for them to appear.

13. Landscape Docking specifies whether the Navigation panel will remain docked on the left side of the screen when the iPad is in landscape orientation. Turn this setting off to make the panel appear as a hover menu.

14. Remember Last Markup Tool automatically turns on either the Pen or Highlighter feature based on which one was last in use. This is useful if you use markup tools frequently.

15. Palm Protection helps accommodate left- or right-handed markups by ignoring marks made by your palm on the screen. This setting is useful for stylus users.

16. Historical Timeline sets how many previous years will display in Archived Books. This setting is useful if your organization has a significant amount of archived material.

17. Calendar settings include the option to change the First Day Of Week, which alters the first column of the month view. Historical Timeline sets how far back the calendar items will sync.
