1. User interface

Initial situation / Display start-up

Once you have set up and completed the initialization of your account with the Solarfox® Setup Wizard, your
display is already pre-configured.
Basically, your slideshow would be operational and functional without further settings. We recommend watch-
ing the slideshow preview first.
To do so, click on the respective slideshow in the left menu and on the main menu on the "Play" symbol. Subse-
quently, a window with a preview of the presentation appears, thereby the respective slideshow is started. You
can change the individual slides manually by using the arrow keys.

Overview of the most important information

The Solarfox® online administration interface is divided into four key areas:
A) Left Sidebar: Manage slideshows, displays and data sources
B) Main Menu: Various program functions
C) Slideshow View: Order, duration and adjustment of the individual slides (views)
D) Right Sidebar: news, help, available modules, image upload, report a problem, slideshow manager

General functions

1.4.1 Slideshows
A Solarfox® slideshow combines different views that are played back one after the other on the Solarfox® dis-
play. We call these views slides. Each slide can be individually configured and displayed for a different length of
time.
Optionally, the slides can also be switched off. You can create multiple slideshows per display. When purchasing
a display, one slideshow will be included in the price. Other slideshows can be purchased for a one-time fee.
For more information, see section no. 3.

1.4.2 Displays
The "Displays" selection shows all the Solarfox® displays registered in your account. The detailed view shows all
essential data of the respective device. In particular, the connection status and the associated slideshow or
slideshows are displayed here. If your account has multiple slideshows, you can also drag & drop multiple
slideshows into the display. These are then played back one after the other. If a new display is added, you can
then create a new slideshow and add another data source.
For more information, see section no. 5.

1.4.3 Data sources

Our data sources show yield and consumption data. Here you can add new attachments, e.g. the generation
power of a photovoltaic system. Similarly, data with consumption values or e.g. yield data of a CHP can be added.
To be able to add new data sources you need the access information of the respective monitoring portal. Basi-
cally, every Solarfox® display includes one data source. Additional data sources can be purchased for a fee. For
more information, see section no. 4

8. User administration

User profile
In the user settings, you can view the contact details specified during registration and change them if necessary,
in your user settings. To do so, click on in the main menu. Here your data such as name, street and postcode
can be adjusted. You can also change the language displayed in the online administration

you can directly assign a new password. For confirmation the password must be entered again in the 'Repeat'
field. Then click on the "Save" button.

Adding additional users – Administration of rights and obligations

When it comes to the rights and obligations administration, one or more guest accounts can be created within
one user account. Via in the main menu you can access the user administration. First, you'll see an overview
of the existing guest users. You can create new guest users via "Grant access for another guest user". You can
also customize the access rights of existing guest users. These guest accounts can be assigned access to individ-
ual slideshows, data sources, or displays. The guest user then has full access to the released elements.
This way your guest can e.g. make adjustments within a slideshow without being able to change essential set-
tings (such as system data or data source). Shared data can also be changed, adjusted and deleted in retrospect.
Guest user accounts can also be disabled and reactivated. Each Solarfox® display includes a guest user account
for free. If you need additional guest users, you can purchase them in our online shop.
