What you will accomplish

  • Open Schedule in full-screen mode from the normal Schedule page.
  • Choose the view (Calendar, Table, Whiteboard, or Progress) that works best on your display.
  • Return to the regular dashboard when you are done.
Use this guide when your team wants the Schedule page on a large screen in the shop — front desk, detail bay, or manager office — so everyone can see what is happening today without extra clicks. Full-screen mode hides the usual dashboard chrome and keeps the same calendar, filters, and views you already use.

​
When to use full-screen display

  • Your shop has a TV or monitor that should always show today’s work.
  • Managers want a quick glance at the week without signing in on a personal laptop.
  • Your team runs stand-up meetings around a shared screen and needs a live schedule.
This is view-only on the wallFull-screen mode is for seeing the schedule clearly. Staff should still create or change events on a computer or tablet at the normal Schedule page unless someone is actively working at that screen.

​
Before you start

  • Sign in on the computer or browser that is connected to the display.
  • Open Schedule first so you know events are loading correctly.
  • Decide which view your team prefers on the wall — many facilities use Calendar in 1 Day or 3 Day mode.

​
What full-screen mode changes (and what it does not)

What changes: The left dashboard menu and most page chrome hide so the schedule uses the full monitor.What stays the same: Your events, filters, and view mode (Calendar, Table, Whiteboard, or Progress) work the same way. You are not looking at a separate “TV app”—it is the same Schedule page, enlarged.What it does not do: Full-screen mode does not sign in guests automatically. The computer connected to the TV must stay signed in to your facility account.

​
Open full-screen mode

1

Go to Schedule

Open Schedule from the dashboard sidebar.Expected result: You see the schedule header with Schedule Event, Full screen, and Filters & Settings.
2

Click Full screen

Click Full screen near the top-right of the page.Expected result: The page opens in display mode. The address bar shows /dashboard/schedule/display. The sidebar and most dashboard menus are hidden so the calendar uses the whole screen.
3

Set the view your team wants on the wall

Click Filters & Settings and choose:
  • Calendar with 1 Day or 3 Day for time-based planning, or
  • Progress when the wall should show To Do, In Progress, and Done columns.
Expected result: The display shows the same filtered work your team cares about, just larger and easier to read.
Progress view on a wall monitorMany service teams put Progress on a TV during active work days so the shop can see what is waiting versus finished. In Filters & Settings, choose Progress before you click Full screen. The wall display uses the same columns you see on the main Schedule page. Pair this with Track work in the Progress view so staff know how to update statuses during the day.

​
Show Calendar view on a wall monitor

Progress is great for status boards. Calendar is better when the wall should answer “What is happening at 2 PM?”
1

Set Calendar before you go full screen

On the normal Schedule page, open Filters & Settings, choose Calendar, then pick 1 Day or 3 Day so the time grid is easy to read from across the room.
2

Click Full screen

Click Full screen. The same calendar fills the monitor without the dashboard sidebar.
3

Zoom the browser if needed

On the display computer, zoom in until event titles are readable from a distance.Expected result: Staff can see customer and vehicle names on each colored block without walking up to the TV.

On a shop TV, Calendar in 3 Day mode answers “What is happening this afternoon?” without the dashboard sidebar in the way. The ALL DAY row still shows work that has no clock time.
Lobby vs. shop floorA Calendar wall in the shop helps technicians see timing. A Progress wall helps everyone see what still needs to be finished. Some facilities use one monitor for each.

​
Show Whiteboard on a wall monitor

Some teams prefer Whiteboard cards on the TV during stand-up instead of a clock grid.
1

Set Whiteboard on the display page

Open Schedule, click Full screen, then open Filters & Settings and choose Whiteboard. Set DATE RANGE to Today or This Week.Expected result: Each visit appears as a card your team can read from across the room.
2

Walk through cards during stand-up

Read event type, vehicle or customer, and time on each card before the first vehicle arrives.Why this matters: Cards are easier to scan than a time grid when you only care about what is on the list today.

Full-screen Whiteboard works well for morning stand-ups: cards show today’s jobs without dashboard menus on the sides.

​
Exit full-screen mode

1

Click Exit full screen

Click Exit full screen in the top area of the display page.Expected result: You return to the regular Schedule page with the dashboard sidebar.
2

Or press Escape on a keyboard

If a keyboard is connected to the display computer, press Escape.Expected result: Full-screen mode closes the same way as Exit full screen.
Many facilities use a small PC or Mac mini behind the front-desk TV. This keeps personal laptops out of the workflow.
1

Sign in once on the display computer

Open your browser, sign in to Car Storage Software, and open Schedule.Expected result: Events load with real customer and vehicle names (not an empty calendar).
2

Open Full screen and leave the tab open

Click Full screen, then leave that browser tab on the TV input.Why this matters: Closing the tab or letting the session expire shows a sign-in screen instead of today’s work.
3

Disable sleep on the display computer

In the computer’s power settings, turn off sleep while plugged in (or use your IT provider’s kiosk settings).Expected result: The wall schedule stays visible during shop hours without someone tapping the mouse every hour.

​
Keep the wall display readable

1

Zoom the browser if text looks small on the TV

On the display computer, use the browser zoom (often Ctrl and + on Windows, or Cmd and + on Mac) until event titles are easy to read from across the room.Expected result: Staff can read customer and vehicle names without walking up to the screen.
2

Hide the mouse cursor when possible

Some teams use a wireless mouse only for setup, then leave the cursor in a corner. A clean screen reduces distraction during stand-up meetings.
Wall monitors and corner indicatorsOn a TV, corner dots and approval stripes can be hard to see from across the room. Many teams pair Progress view on the wall with Table view on a front-desk laptop when they need billing or approval details.

​
Tips for wall displays

Keep the browser signed inThe display computer must stay signed in to your facility account. If the session expires, the wall may show a sign-in screen instead of the schedule. Use a dedicated shop computer account when possible.
Use busy-only calendar feeds for privacyIf the same monitor also mirrors a manager’s personal calendar subscription, consider a busy only feed so customer names do not appear on a public screen. See Subscribe to the team calendar.
Refresh if the screen looks frozenFull-screen mode updates when the Schedule page updates. If the wall looks stale, refresh the browser tab or reopen Full screen from Schedule.

​
Troubleshooting

The TV shows a sign-in pageThe display computer lost its session. Sign in again on that computer (not only on a personal phone), reopen Schedule, and click Full screen.
The schedule looks emptyOn the display computer, clear Search, turn off Assigned to me, and widen the date range in Filters & Settings (try 5 Day or This Week). The events may still exist—they are just filtered out.
Customer names should not appear on a public lobby TVIf the monitor faces a public waiting area, use a busy-only personal calendar feed for managers instead of mirroring the full schedule. See Subscribe to the team calendar.
