How to Share Gauge Page Layouts with others

Share Custom Page Layouts

UltraGauge provides the ability to Create and Share Gauge Page Layouts with others.  After you take the time to create a really cool screen, you now have the ability to allow others to load this same Page on their UltraGauge App (or you can share it on your own additional mobile devices).  

And of course, you can also download other freely available Gauge Page Layouts created by others.

These layouts can be downloaded to any one of your 7 Gauge Pages.

How to see which Page Layouts are Available

Pages which have been shared can be seen here.  In addition, when you select to Download a Shared Page, it gives an option to "Click to View Page Layouts".  Either way, it will take you to a WEB page which shows the currently available Page Layouts.  Each Page shown will list a Layout ID which can be used to load that page to any one of your Gauge Pages.

Notes:

-The “Share Page Layout with others” checkbox may not appear if there was not enough memory available for the App to load the image.

-Shared Page Layouts may be removed at any time from the Ultra-Gauge site based on an attempt to keep the current list relevant for all customers

Can I Share between different types of Phones?

Shared Page Layouts can be shared between any Mobile device.  The UltraGauge App will adjust the images to fit the different Aspect Ratios (different screen heights/widths) of different devices.  Due to the fact that some devices are taller or wider than others, the actual layout may look a bit different than the picture shown, but UltraGauge attempts to keep the images centered as it loads the layout to each device.

Of course, once loaded, you can always alter the layout as you like, and even change which gauges are displayed.
