Direct URL to view a specific Panel

Thanks Terry

It would also be nice to hide the panel name (at the top) since it's taking some real estate and providing n value in most cases.

The Panel Name isn't shown on the Panel; but Tileset names are ... just open the Tileset's Menu and select "Hide".

I would like the ability to have the link go directly to a usable panel without a login. I recognize the risk here, and don't plan to put anything in the panel that would be problematic. I'm using it for a dashboard on the wall and don't like having to login every time the page refreshes.

Thanks,

Jon

Hi Jon,

• ActionTiles does not require you to "login" more than once if you do not "logout". The login session is very long lasting... like a Gmail login session, for example: Once you login to Gmail on a particular browser, even if you close the browser you don't have to login again.
• Be careful not to bookmark / pin / Add to Home Screen the app's "login" page, however; i.e., not:
  

https://app.actiontiles.com/login

But rather:

https://app.actiontiles.com/panel/8b9208ea-this-is-panel-idd2a7205f22

I was trying to display on another device with a different browser. I couldn't figure out how to get the url. Finally had to write it down from the first device and type it in manually. The bookmark wouldn't work as it being a different browser.

Any easier way to have done this?

• Couldn't you highlight and copy (to clipboard) the URL from the "first" browser?
• Then you could paste into the other browser (or email it to yourself if you need to paste on a different devices), right?

We may be able to partially automate some of the above two steps. For example, we may be able to force the URL onto the clipboard and/or email it to you. But frankly, copy/paste of a URL from the browser address bar is a pretty fundamental activity that we hope most Customers are familiar with...

Yes and no. The tablet I was setting up was an old one and just bare bones. No email app, etc. I would have had to install more apps to do the copy/paste. I know how to do those things, just didn't want to install the apps. Typing the url was easier in this case. I just thought there was someway to go to my account and get to it that way.

I'm afraid I don't understand, Jim...

• Couldn't you login to the root of the app site on the target browser (app.ActionTiles.com), view the Panel, and then bookmark it directly from / within that target browser?

Thats the info I couldn't seem to find... going to app.actiontiles.com. And I didn't remember from the first time. My mistake, I just wasn't brain clicking.....:) I think it was the app part. I kept trying www.actiontiles.com and there was no login link there.

No problem Jim!

Alex is going to kill me because he has reminded me a few times (😓) to update our WWW page with a nice convenient "Login to ActionTiles App" button that will go to the "app.ActionTiles.com" address. Most visitors are still just signing up for invitations, so I was avoid the task and clutter; but ... it's time, isn't it! 😇

Thanks for the help. I should have realized where to go, but sometimes the simple things elude me. I was trying to make it too complicated. Unfortunately just the way my brain works. My wife is always reminding me of this...In a good way. Sorry for all the confusion.
