The Whiteboard Additional Functions

Here we present a number of additional Whiteboard functions.

There are a number of additional functions on the Document menu:

  • Create New Page: Adds a new page.
  • Rename Page: Allows you to change the name of a Whiteboard page.
  • Clear Page: Erases all text, images, etc. but leaves an empty page, keeping its name.
  • Delete Current Page: Deletes the current Whiteboard page.
  • Delete Pages: Using this command opens a dialog where you can quickly delete multiple pages. Hold down <shift> or <ctrl> to mark and delete multiple pages.

Follow and Lead Page Changes

  • Follow Page Changes: Enables your Whiteboard to follow the page changes by those that have decided to lead. This is selected by default.
  • Lead Page Changes: Enables your Whiteboard to lead the the other members to the page you are changing to.

Hint The Lead Page Changes function is very useful for leading your audience through your PowerPoint presentation. Your audience's Whiteboards will follow your page transition instantly.

Hint Marratech leads the others to the active page when enabling Lead Page Changes. No need to change back and forth.

Delete and Clear Page
To delete an object on a Whiteboard page, simply select it with the Selection Tool and press the <delete> key (backspace on Mac OS X) . To delete all objects from a page, use the Clear Page command on the Document menu.

Miniviews, Zoom and the size of Whiteboard work surface

By clicking the Miniview button you will be presented with a small miniature of the Whiteboard. This can be used for keeping an eye on a Whiteboard page while working on another.

Toggle Miniview

Note that you can have multiple Miniviews open and that way being able to follow progress that users are making on several whiteboard pages at the same time. The Miniviews can be resized and placed freely on your screen.

Use the Zoom functionality to scale the Whiteboard, useful when users have different screen sizes.

50-200% are switches between those zoom levels.

Page zooms to fit a whole page.

Width zooms to fit the width of a page.

Zoom

Note that the Zoom functionality only affects your own view of the Whiteboard, with or without Lead Page Changes turned on.

Divider

Note that you can also move the boundaries between the various modules. Just use the mouse and click.

Hint If you need more work space in the Whiteboard you can switch to the Expert interface, from which you can maximize the Whiteboard area to cover your whole screen.
