Building a dashboard in Relay means placing tiles on a canvas, filling each tile with modules, and then operating the result in Live Mode during your event.

​
How dashboards are structured

  • Tabs: Separate different areas of responsibility or moments in your workflow.
  • Canvas: The surface where tiles are placed and arranged.
  • Tiles: Containers on the canvas that hold one or more modules.
  • Modules: The actual content or controls shown inside a tile.

​
Creating and saving dashboards

Use File > New Dashboard to start fresh and File > Open Dashboard... to open an existing .relay file. Save with Command-S, or use Save Dashboard As... when you want a copy with a different name or location. Autosave can be enabled for already-saved dashboards in Relay > Settings > General.

​
Canvas View vs. Live Mode

Canvas View is for building and editing. Live Mode is for running the dashboard during a real service or event.
  • Use Canvas View to add tiles, move them, align them, and change module configuration.
  • Use Live Mode when you want a cleaner operating experience with fewer accidental edits.
