Behavior Notes
Room Mapping for iCal If you use the "Filter by Display Room" feature with iCal, you must map the display to a specific room ID:
- Go to the Displays tab in Rise Vision and select your display.
- In the Manage section, look for Room Identifier.
- Enter the unique Room ID from your calendar and save. This ensures the display only shows events for that specific room.
Auto-Scrolling
When the Room Schedule layout has more events than can fit on the screen, it will automatically scroll to the bottom, pause, and then return to the top.
Responsive Scaling
The component is designed to maintain its aspect ratio. When you resize it in the editor, it will scale proportionally and stop at a minimum size to ensure the text remains readable.
