All DAKboard screens and Displays have associated private URLs.These URLs are unique randomly generated web addresses created for your account so you can access your Screens or Displays.

How to use DAKboard Private URLs:

Each Custom Screen you create, and each registered device has a private URL. DAKboard makes moving screens from one device to another easy in the Devices & Displays menu, but if needed a Custom Screen can be viewed by any web browser you wish to connect to use as a DAKboard Display. Below we cover what a Screen URL and a Display URL are and how to use them.

Screen URLs:

To find your Custom Screen's private URL, navigate to the Screens page, then click on the Custom Screen you want the URL from. See below:

Click the Share and export screen configuration ICON. Your Private URL will be displayed. You can copy it by clicking the copy button to the right.

From here you can add this URL to any Browser on this device, or you can manually enter it on another device.

Other Ways to Access the Private Screen URL:

You can also access the Private URL by opening the View option on your Screens Page. This is also helpful if you do not want to copy the URL but instead just open it on another device. Start by logging into your DAKboard account from the device in question. Navigate to the Screens page as you did above. From here, click on the three dots in the lower right-hand corner of the Custom Screen you wish to view and click View. See below:

This will change your current browser tab to the Private URL, you can either copy it out of the URL bar or bookmark it to be able to navigate back to your Custom Screen whenever you open this browser.

Display URLs:

Each DAKboard Display you create will also generate a Private URL you can use to Assign your Screens. These Displays can be both DAKboard OS devices or any web-based device you link as a display. See our articles Setup - DAKboard Wall/Mirror Display, Setup - DAKboard CPU/Micro SD Card, or our Support article section called Tablets/Other Devices to see how to set up and link your Displays. To access the URL of your Linked Displays, go to the Displays & Devices tab on your account, click the three dots to the right of the Display, and select Settings. See below:

On the Display settings page you can see the Display's URL and copy it out to paste into your Browser:

This will allow you to access this Display in any browser. Then when you change the Screen Assigned to this Display, it will change it in the linked Browser.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Below are the most Frequently Asked Questions about Using DAKboard Private URLs.

Can you Modify the Private URL?

The Private URL is automatically generated when you create a Custom Screen or Display. If you modify this, it will break the link. You would then need to copy the URL again to use it. If the URL is compromised or stolen, you can stop people from using it by either adding a Password to the Screen or by deleting and recreating the screen to generate a new URL. See our articles Screen Security - Password Protected Screens and High Screen Usage or Disabled Screen (error 429) to see how to Add a Password or Delete and Recreate your Screens.
