Once displayed, dashboards update automatically in real time as tournament information changes. Create a dashboard once and display it on as many screens throughout your venue as needed. ## Video Tutorial {% embed url="" %} ### Why Use Custom Dashboards? Custom Dashboards help organizers: * Display live court assignments and game information * Show leaderboards and tournament standings * Promote sponsors and venue partners * Share announcements and event information * Display brackets and tournament progress * Create dedicated screens for players, spectators, and staff * Combine multiple tournaments onto a single display Whether you're running a small local event or a large multi-court tournament, Custom Dashboards give you complete control over what information is displayed and how it appears. *** {% hint style="info" %} ### We strongly recommend using the web version of Scoreholio when creating and managing Custom Dashboards. While dashboards can be configured and widgets can be assigned from the mobile app, a computer provides a much better experience for designing layouts, arranging widgets, and managing dashboard settings. {% endhint %} ### Where to Find Custom Dashboards on the Web 1.

*** ### Key Concepts #### Dashboard A dashboard is a saved screen layout that displays live tournament information. Dashboards can be displayed on TVs, tablets, projectors, laptops, and digital signage systems. #### Template A template is a reusable dashboard design that can be used as a starting point when creating new dashboards. #### Widget Widgets are the building blocks of a dashboard. Available widget types include: * Court Grid * Leaderboard * Queue * Game Log * Bracket * Title / Information * Announcer * Ads & Media * Clock * Text * Image #### Single Tournament Dashboards Single Tournament dashboards are connected to one tournament. All tournament-based widgets display information from that tournament. This is the simplest setup and works well for most events. #### Multi-Tournament Dashboards Multi-Tournament dashboards can display information from multiple tournaments on the same screen. Each tournament-based widget can be assigned to a different tournament, making it possible to showcase multiple events simultaneously. The following widget types can be assigned independently: * Court Grid * Leaderboard * Queue * Game Log * Bracket * Title * Announcer *** ### Creating a Dashboard 1. Click **New Dashboard**. 2. Enter a dashboard name. 3. Optionally enter a description. 4. Select a template. 5. Click **Create**. Your new dashboard will open directly in the Dashboard Designer. #### Choosing a Template Templates are organized into three categories: **Mine** Templates you have personally created and saved. **Built-In** Starter templates provided by Scoreholio, including: * Blank * Classic * Courts Only * Leaderboard + Courts **Community** Templates shared by other organizers. Use the search bar to find templates by name, description, tags, or organizer. *** ### Using the Dashboard Designer The Dashboard Designer is where you build and customize your layout. #### Adding Widgets Add widgets from the widget menu and place them anywhere on the dashboard. #### Moving and Resizing Widgets Drag widgets to reposition them. Resize widgets to fit your desired layout. #### Widget Settings Select any widget to configure its options. Examples include: * Court selections * Leaderboard size * Queue settings * Bracket display options * Clock format * Text and image content #### Dashboard Settings Select the **Settings** button to configure dashboard-wide options: * Single Tournament or Multi-Tournament mode * Default tournament * Preview tournament * Background color * Background image * Screen rotation * Screen flipping * Zoom and scaling These settings help optimize displays for different screen orientations and venue setups. #### Saving Your Dashboard Click **Save** to store your changes. #### Returning to the Dashboard List Select **Back** to exit the designer and return to your dashboard list. *** ### Assigning Tournaments Multi-Tournament dashboards require tournament assignments. To assign tournaments: 1. Open the dashboard's **⋯** menu. 2. Select **Assign**. 3. Choose a tournament for each tournament-based widget. 4. Click **Save**. Widgets left unassigned will remain blank until a tournament is selected. *** ### Previewing a Dashboard Preview allows you to see exactly what spectators and players will see. To preview: 1. Open the dashboard. 2. Select **Preview**. The preview window displays a live 16:9 version of the dashboard. #### Tournament Selection Use the Tournament dropdown to select which tournament data should be displayed. This is especially useful when previewing templates since templates are not tied to a tournament. #### Open in New Tab Select **Open** to launch the full-screen dashboard renderer in a separate browser tab. *** ### Displaying a Dashboard Custom Dashboards can be displayed on virtually any device with a web browser, including: * Amazon Fire TV Sticks * Smart TVs * Tablets * Laptops * Desktop computers * Projectors * Digital signage systems Once opened, the dashboard automatically updates in real time as tournament data changes.
