Overview

You can decide which buttons (Apps, in the Care Menu) appear on the touchscreen of a Resident’s system, and set the order in which they appear. You can also choose to password protect specific features. These settings can be changed by users with sufficient security permissions. (See User Roles and Privileges.)

Show Touchscreen

You can see the changes you made to the Touchscreen. Click the "Show Touchscreen" button at the top of the Touchscreen module window. It shows you a reproduction of the Resident's system, and even lets you operate many of the features. You will not be able to see what the Resident is doing on the system, nor will the Resident be able to see your screen actions. You can both be using the system at the same time without interference.
