Seperate Settings for Proximity Powe
Most of our teachers don't like that the proximity sensor turns on the display automatically, as there are times they want it off for extended periods. We tried to up the re-enable time to 120 but they still felt it is to short. Because of this, we have to disable the proximity sensor and the displays stay on overnight.
Is it possible to seperate the proximity settings out so the displays won't automatically power on but will auto power off if no motion is detected for some time? This would help us save on electricity and extend the life of…

Thanks for this suggestion. We have new scaler firmware for 6000 series SMART Boards that add the ability to use the proximity sensors to turn the display off to save power – but leave it off until the “moon” button is pressed to turn the display on. This makes the 6000 series behave like our 7000 series in this regard. If you would like to update your board to add this setting, please contact support. They can provide you the firmware image and the instructions to apply the update.

it will be amazing if the selection of sketched things will be possible
in the whiteboard you are only allowed to design or erase and expand the whiteboard only horizzontally.
I would love to see a selection feature and a vertical expansion of the writing area.
thank you

Notebook Player now has the ability to expand the whiteboard area to a 3×3 whiteboard. This means more space to add content on all sides of the board.
To get the expanded whiteboard, use your finger to pan the canvas all the way to the left or right. You’ll see a radar view showing the expanded area.

Whiteboard backgrounds
I like the grid that shows when the whiteboard is panning. It would be nice to be able to specify a background for the whiteboard, like grids or lines to assist with writing nicely on the board.

Background support is part of the iQ 3.2 release.
When you create a new whiteboard page, you can select a background before you write on the screen.
To change the background on an existing page, use the page sorter.

New features - add pages
I love the new feature where you can have more than one page by sliding your hand across the kapp screen. The grid is very useful. Is it possible to create the option in order to keep it up there to use for bar graphs or to help writing straight?

On Screen Code for Screen Sharing
Need an option to require an on screen code to initiate screen sharing. This is crucial to keep secondary students from initiating an unwanted screen share session.
4 votesA new setting has been added in iQ 3.0 to satisfy this need. If you go to Settings → Screen Share and enable “Require Permission” you will be prompted to accept incoming connections from the board before they are allowed to share.
Unlike PIN/password, this option is consistent for AirPlay, Google Cast and Miracast connections.

Frozen Pen selection notification pop-up
On the Latest Beta release, when I pick up a Pen from the 6265 magnetic pen ledge, the pop-up notification shows which color pen is being used, but the pop-up gets frozen on the screen and does not colapse / disappear when the pen is returned to the ledge. I notice the same trouble on the 7000, 6000 and the Pro series boards as well. the pop-ups remain frozen on the board and it seems only a reset of yhe panels resets the issue momentarily.

A way to hide settings menu
I would like there to be a way to hide the settings menu from the launch bar. It is extremely nice to be able to turn off sharing, however, it is too easy to be able to activate it by having the settings menu on the launch bar. Perhaps there could be a way to put the menu behind a PIN code or a button sequence press?

I am using Firmware version: 2.5.18 on about 20 SmartBoard Kapp IQ boards. I would like to request the Settings options be pin protected or harder to get to. These are shared devices and we do not want end users to make changes that can cause compliance or functional issues. Please assist.

Can this be used with Android, Windows and iOS please
