Images Board...
Here you can select graphics to be displayed on the corresponding board. Press the Images button to go to the image selection screen. Selecting the plus symbol opens a dialog with which the desired graphic can be loaded into the PM. In addition, a desired weighting for each image can be set here. The weighting determines how many passes a graphic should be displayed before switching to the next graphic. For example, so that you don't have to look at all 20 selected images until the next board appears (e.g. information about sales come again), only one image per run is displayed. The weighting means, for example, that the important monthly meal is displayed more often than an unimportant picture, e.g. "10 x monthly cocktail" and "1 x do not forget to wash your hands".
In the Select column, select the images to be displayed and confirm your setting:
