My Question

Hello guys, can you tell me if there are default configuration options for Whiteboard (actually I’m interestet to know for other apps as well), like for example: “Rounded edges for text boxes or deck-cards”.

Best regards

Adrian

Most apps can be used directly after installation. Configuration options show up either in the user’s or admin’s menu, or in the app itself. Certain apps require additional software to be installed (all the online offices, whiteboard, talk high performance backend, …), other run out of the box (calendar, news, …).
On the app’s description, it should be obvious if additional software is required. If it is not clear, please let the developers know to clarify their app description.

Hello tflidd,

maybe my question wasn’t clear: I’m asking if it is possible to configure certain settings and selections in the whiteboard to be the default. For example

  • Show Grid
  • Alway use “rounded edges” for boxes
  • Use the smallest text setting

I have looked at the UI and admin options. It’s not possible to select defaults there, so I’m asking if it’s possible to do that in a configuration file, or a occ command.

Thanks

Adrian
