How to use the new Auto-scrolling Hilight Feeds for In-School Monitor Displays
We are excited about a new feature that allows you to display an autoscrolling version of the Hilight Bulletin Feeds on TV Monitors in your hallways, faculty lounges, and more!
1. To access the new autoscrolling feed, go to https://www.hilightdashboard.com/monitor_display. You will be directed to login if you haven't already. Once logged in, you will automatically be redirected back to the monitor display.
The monitor display shows you some overview statistics and a few graphics to help inspire your staff! It will flip through the hilights sent every few seconds.
2. Display Settings: By default, the monitor display is set to show the hilights sent across your district for the past month, and it will flip through the hilights every 5 seconds.
If you have more than one school at your district on Hilight, the monitor display will be set at the district level by default. If you are a single school on Hilight, you will only see your school's data.
If you'd like to change the time range, the rate at which the hilights flip, or if you'd like to show the hilights for only one school, you can click on the settings icon in the upper right corner.
3. Clicking on the settings icon in the upper right corner will open a Display Settings popup.
You can adjust the time range and how quickly you'd like the display to flip through the hilights sent at your district. Click "Apply" to apply the settings you've selected.
4. If applicable, you can also choose to view the monitor display for a single school in your district by switching the "Display Level" from "District" to "School", and then selecting the school you'd like to view.
The monitor display will still show the graphic displaying the top 5 schools based on hilight sent, but the hilights shown and the rest of the data points will be specifically for the school you've selected.
5. Want to Logout or go back to the main Hilight app? Click on the "hilight" icon at the top of the screen.
6. Where to make use of this new display feature? We recommend setting this up on display tvs or monitors in frequently visited locations in your schools! Do you have a tv in the teachers lounge or in your hallways or cafeteria? Students also benefit from seeing what your staff are recognizing each other for!
