Draft - Summer 2022 - Igloo Home

Igloo Home - 1.2.4

Igloo Home is a software application that enables users to have a personalised home screen to interact with an igloo. This should eliminate the need for a user to interact with the server.

There are two main modes when using Igloo Home.

Edit Mode

Edit mode is used when editing the home layout that an end-user would see in the igloo. In this mode a number of options are available to the user:

1. Swapping between the canvas view and the content (database) view.

2. Changing the controller type.

3. Adding content to the database.

4. Adding or editing a theme.

5. Adding or editing a layout.

6. Adding components

7. Publishing a layout (If you are an admin user)

8. Using Igloo Home with the tab touchscreen

Run Mode

Run mode is used when you want to use the application in an igloo. This mode will disable all functionality found in edit mode, and just allow the user to launch content, change the layout, change controller type, and return to the home page after launching a piece of content.
