Support Request: Moving tiles manually?

Description

Hi.
I was just wondering if there is a way to move tiles in the Start Screen window manually? I just feel it's very hard to align and make it look good.
For example, I have two tiles with pictures in them, but I want to add a text box in the middle below them, but when I try to do that, those two tiles "spread" and that does not look as good as when they are right next to eachother.

Thanks!

Hello,

With the “Start Screen” the buttons and groups will be sorted automatically depending on the screen resolution.
So you need to “play around” with empty groups and buttons or their properties (Caption, Caption alignment, Size) and check it in full screen view of the Start Screen Editor.

Alternatively you may have a look at the “Start Page” template of SiteCaster CMS.
With this template you can place all buttons to s specific position and with SiteCaster CMS you would also have the benefit that you are able to distribute that screen remotely to the SiteKiosk machines.
You only cannot start local applications as with the local Start Screen.

Here an overview:

And online documentation: https://www.provisio.com/helpconsole/SiteCaster%20CMS%20Help/en-US/default.htm

For testing SiteCaster CMS you do not need any license.
1. Just create a free 30 days test account on www.siteremote.net
2. Download and install SiteKiosk Windows on your client machine (minimum 9.4):

3. Open the SiteKiosk configuration and select “SiteCaster” at “-->Start Page & Browser”
4. Register the SiteKiosk Client to SiteRemote (-->Remote Monitoring)
5. Start SiteKiosk with the SiteCaster configuration
6. On another computer: Login to the SiteCaster Editor at https://www.siteremote.net/Authentication/Account/Login.aspx (can also be accessed with the SiteCaster tab via www.siteremote.net) with using Chrome Browser to create and distribute the content.
