- Secondary method of managing these monitors/computers: Bluetooth keyboards paired with the monitors/computers
To manage via VNC:
- Run VNC viewer. https://www.realvnc.com/download/viewer/
- Configure the Options/Inputs before connecting to the monitor machine (uncheck "enable mouse input")
- Enter the IP address of the target VNC server computers
...
- This lets you see the monitor as it is.
- To actually change its settings, "enable mouse input" must be checked.
- Then, after making changes, the screensaver should just start after one minute (so you can check the screenshots)
*The process of adding a new VNC server/monitor:**
- Customer will tell BITS they want one. BITS will send them to us.
...
- If we agree to work on it, BITS will be in charge of getting it all setup and licensing.
...
- They can point it at a test folder, and then we can point it at the "real" folder of screenshots once they've been made.
Tricks:
You may want to optimize the output for large screens by creating a duplicate view for screenshots and changing the resolution in Tableau to 1600x1000, increasing font size, removing filter cards, using custom views, etc.
