Interactive Notice Board

Valotalive’s Interactive Notice Board turns static displays into self-service hubs. With one touch it switches to interactive mode: a tabbed workspace where employees browse news posts, videos, documents, and live data at their own pace.

Prerequisites:

  • User Role: Valotalive Super Admin access to execute the overlay app assignment.

  • Subscription: Active Interactive Notice Board Bundle subscription in the “Shop”.

Step 1: Activate your Interactive Sub Apps

You will need to create dedicated interactive apps for your SharePoint News Posts, PowerPoint or My Content Channel posts.

  1. Navigate to the Apps section in your Valotalive control panel

  2. Click New App and search for Interactive SharePoint, - PowerPoint, or - My Content Channel

  3. Choose your App and start to configure

    • Add content managers (in My Content)

    • Choose file (in SharePoint) or file (in PowerPoint)

    • Provide other settings

    • Save

  4. Repeat the steps for each interactive sub-app: Create a new sub-app for each content app that you’ll need. This can also be Power BI, or Web app, as an example.

Step 2: Configure the Interactive Notice Board App

Now, you will set up the "Interactive Workspace" that will house these sub-apps.

  1. Navigate to Apps and search for the Interactive Notice Board app

  2. Click activate to open the app configuration

  3. Apps to use: Under the app settings, you must select which internal applications this Workspace is allowed to "see"

  • Add all your newly created interactive sub-apps

  • Add your supporting data apps (e.g., your Power BI report apps or SAP Dashboards)

Step 3: Building your Interactive Tabs

This step defines the user interface that the teams will interact with on the shop floor.

  1. In the configuration, move to the View title and content section

  2. Create a Tab: Click "+."

  3. Map the Content: Type the Tab Name (e.g., "People") and assign the apps that should appear on that page using their ID/Reference numbers.

    • Example: Entering People:1,2 tells the system to show the app Interactive My Content and the app Interactive SharePoint on the same screen.

      NOTE: Please ensure there is no space between the Tab's name (colon) and the app number. Correct: People:1,2 Incorrect: People: 1, 2 (using a space will result in no content being displayed.)

  4. Repeat for each tab until your full Interactive Notice Board layout is complete

Step 4: Assign your Interactive Notice Board overlay to your screens
