Multiview App can be used for creating stunning and informative screens using different topics and content areas on a Display. Multiview App can be found under Apps even though it is a layout to use to alter your Displays look & feel.
Multiview App - Activate and Use
Activate the Multiview App
Go to the Valotalive Dashboard, find the Multiview App under the "Apps" section, and click to activate it.
Select a Theme
Use the default Theme or change it according to your preferences.
In most cases, the Theme defines colors and fonts the App is using.
Select Your Content
On the Configuration tab, use the + button to add the apps you want to display.
Click + to add an App from the drop-down tool.
Tip: Start typing the name of the App to narrow down the selection
The order matters: the first app goes in Section 1, the second in Section 2, and so on.
Use the arrows to reorder your apps.
Choose a Layout:
Pick a layout that matches your screen’s orientation (Landscape or Portrait) and the number of zones you need.
Set Timing: Under Show Advanced
Set the "Minimum time" for the Multiview layout to stay on screen.
Note: If a specific app inside the Multiview has multiple pages, this timer determines how many of those pages get seen before the screen cycles.
Go Live: SAVE your settings.
And add the Multiview app to a flow or directly to a display.
Pro Tips for Better Displays
Mix It Up: Combine Multiview layouts with full-screen "Single View" apps in the same Flow to keep your audience engaged.
Highlight Key Info: To keep important information (like a safety alert or KPI) on the screen longer, create multiple Multiview instances with that same app in the same position, and cycle them in your Flow.
Choosing Your Multiview Layout
The Multiview App offers various layouts to help you display multiple content sources simultaneously. Select a layout that best matches your display's physical orientation:
Landscape Layouts
Optimized for horizontal screens (e.g., 16:9)
Portrait Layouts
Optimized for vertical screens (e.g., 9:16).
💡 How Orientation Works:
Valotalive automatically detects your screen's aspect ratio. While the system will try to adapt any layout you choose to fit the screen, we strongly recommend selecting a layout designed specifically for your display's orientation to ensure the best visual result.
