Changing Whiteboard mode settings

You can change the default style, layout, ink and saved file format used in Whiteboard mode. You can also change how often Whiteboard files automatically save or you can disable the auto-save and recovery feature.

To change Whiteboard mode settings

1. Open the SMART Meeting Pro Settings dialog box (see Accessing SMART Meeting Pro Settings).

2. Press the Whiteboard tab.

3. Change settings:

   Control	Procedure	Notes (if any)
   Default whiteboard style	Select Unbound Whiteboard to present pages in Unbound Workspace. OR Select Classic Whiteboard to present pages in Classic Workspace.	In Unbound Workspace, pages have no defined boundaries, and the page area can be significantly larger than the viewable area. This is beneficial when users want to use Whiteboard mode for brainstorming or to zoom in on specific details in large, detailed maps, diagrams or other images. In Classic Workspace, pages have defined boundaries, and the page area is usually the same as or slightly larger than the viewable area. This is beneficial when users want all content to be visible at the same time in the viewable area. SMART recommends that you select Unbound Workspace.
   Default whiteboard layout	Select Normal to display Whiteboard pages in Normal view by default. OR Select Full Whiteboard to display Whiteboard pages in Full Whiteboard view by default.	In Normal view, the page, menu, Page Sorter and full SMART Business Toolbar are visible. This view makes all of the features of Whiteboard mode accessible. In Full Whiteboard view, only the page and a minimized SMART Business Toolbar are visible. This view provides more Whiteboard area for brainstorming and presenting.
   Default file save format	Select the default format for Whiteboard files.	Although users can save Whiteboard files in any of the formats listed in this drop-down list, they can only open Whiteboard files in .fcw, .ppt and .pptx formats.
   Ink type	Select Calligraphic to smooth digital ink automatically as users write or draw. OR Select Regular to not smooth digital ink automatically.
   Enable automatic recovery	Select the check box to enable automatic saving of Whiteboard files, and then type the number of minutes between saves in the text box. OR Clear the check box to disable automatic saving of Whiteboard files.	If you choose to disable automatic saving, users’ Whiteboard files will not be automatically saved and recovered if the software stops running unexpectedly.

4. Press OK.
