As an Owner of an Alleo board, you can access Board Settings via the User Menu in the top right corner.

Details

When you initially open up the Board Settings, you land on the Details page. Here, you can do the following:

  • Change the board name

  • Upload a cover image

  • Set up tags to easily search for the board

You can also find information about the board such as the creator's name, created date, and amount of storage used.

Theme

In the theme tab, you can do the following:

  • Add a title bar and change its color

  • Choose from one of the set background colors

  • Set a custom background color, main grid color, and secondary grid color

  • Set a background image

    • Note: if a background image is set will appear on top of the background color

  • Choose the slide transition animation between Fade, Instant, Pan

Colors and fonts

In the colors and fonts tab, you can set color defaults for drawing, sticky notes, and text colors for an organization.

More information about configuring color defaults for a specific board.

An Admin user can upload fonts for the organization in the backend Admin Portal. Board Owners can then replace the current font with one of the options via the dropdown on this tab. If you replace the preset font, all assets will utilize that font for the position in the context menu. If the replaced font is in use in the board, it will update the asset's text.

  • Turn on/off the background grid

  • Enable/restrict the infinite canvas

  • Turn on/off notification sounds such as when users enter or exit a board, content is added, or a guest is in the lobby

  • Turn on/off notifications in the top right corner

  • Show/hide the blue support chat bubble in the bottom right corner

  • Start with header visible/hidden (unique to display user and personal user)

  • Turn on/off panels overlaying content

  • Dock header to bottom/top

  • Allow/disable pan & zoom (unique to display user and personal user)

  • Enable/disable double-clicking an asset to zoom into it

  • Enable/disable the blur of surroundings when zooming into an object

  • Enable/disable asset reactions

  • Enable/disable multiple reactions per user

  • Enable/disable long press to select assets

  • Show/hide main toolbar (unique to display user and personal user)

  • Enable/disable board context menu - accessed via press and holding the canvas background

  • Enable/disable auto-grouping assets that overlap together

  • Enable/disable keyboard shortcuts (object actions with the "Key pressed" trigger will still work)

  • Enable/disable navigating users after inactivity

  • Enable/disable autostarting the presentation to advance every ___ seconds

  • Show/hide slide headers (unique to display user and personal user)

  • Show/hide user cursors

  • Enable/disable collaborative object drawing

You can also change the labels for the different user types (Viewer, Contributor, Editor, Owner) in this tab. Along with being able to snapshot assets like drawings and slides, you can assign a default container that all snapshots go into on the board. These snapshots can also be found in the Files panel on the toolbar.
