When you first set up your account there will be a brief tutorial to help you set up your Defaults and account. If you skipped past this or you want to make changes to your account post the initial creation, this article will show you how to do this.


Accessing Your Account Information:

You can access all your account information from the User Icon in the upper right corner of your DAKboard page. The Icon will be a circle with the first letter of your Username inside it and will be color-coded based on your subscription level. When you click on this icon the following dropdown will appear:



This allows you to access your Account, Notification, Themes & Branding, Billing, and API Keys pages. You can also use this to log out of your account. Below we will detail what you can do on each of these pages.


Account Page:

Your account page allows you to access the Account and Defaults tabs. What you can do from these tabs will be detailed below:


Account Tab:

From the Account tab, you can update the following:

  • Contact Information: You can change your Email, add your name, and set your account to receive Product notifications and Upcoming invoices.
  • Password: You can manually reset your password here. If you have a Google Authenticated account, in this section you can add a Local Login password to your account as well. 

NOTE: If you add a password to your Google Authenticated account you will be prompted to use this password whenever making changes to your account that require an update to Billing.

  • Screen Security: Here you can add a password to all of your Screens. This will be a single password required to load your Screen on a New Display. You will need a mouse and keyboard connected to your display, or a Touchscreen display to take advantage of this.  When you enable this an automatically generated password will be put in place, or you can make your own password. To learn more about this see our article Screen Security - Password Protected Screens.
  • Plan Overview: This supplies you with an overview of your current subscription plan and links you to the Pricing page should you want to change this plan
  • Delete Account: This will delete your account and all associated Data. This option cannot be reversed and will break all the links we have with your external accounts.


Defaults Tab:

These settings will be applied when creating new screens or devices. You can change the following:



  • Location: With this set, any block requiring location information will have this applied to it. It is set to New York, NY by default. You can still change the block's location on its Block Editor page.
  • Timezone: With this set, any new Screen you create, template you use for a Custom Screen, or any block requiring a Timezone will have this value applied to it. It is set to America/New York by default. You can still change these time zones in your Screen or Block Editor later. See our article How to Set the Timezone to see how to adjust them.
  • Language: With this set, any new Screen you create will have its language set to match. This is set to English by default.

NOTE: This only translates what DAKboard creates in our service. This does not translate the languages of your linked accounts (for example Google, Apple, or Microsoft Calendars, or any ToDo list). You will need to set your languages or create your entries in these tools in the language you desire.

  • Time Format: With this set, any new screen or block that utilizes a time option will be shown in 12 or 24-hour formats. This is set to 12 hours by default.
  • Default Screen: This is used with our DAKboard Android App or the DAKboard App for Amazon Fire TV. You can set this to any of your screens, loops, or Schedules you have. Just click on the Image and it will open the following dropdown you can use to select and set your Default:



NOTE: Due to the design of the Android App, Loops will not function with it at this time. You can still set any default Screen or Schedule that does not have a loop in it, and they will work with this App.


Notification Page:

If you have Notifications enabled on your account, this will be the page they will be displayed on. We will also send your notifications to the Email associated with your account.


Themes & Branding:

This page allows you to set Light or Dark Themes for your DAKboard account. These themes are available at all Subscription levels. The Branding is available for Pro level Subscriptions. To learn more about that, check out our article Themes & Branding.


Billing:

This page is used for upgrading or downgrading your Subscription plans and you will have access to all of your Invoices related to your Subscription. This will include the purchases of your Monthly or Yearly subscriptions, as well as the Invoices for Additional screen purchases. We store all of your Invoices on the Billing page for as long as you have your account. You can download your Invoices in PDF formats from here.


API Keys:

This is available for all Plus and Pro subscription plans. You can generate an API Key for your account to be able to remotely access and update your Screens. See our article API Overview for more details on this.
