Put it on a screen

You will turn one of your views into a public page and open it on a tablet or TV, so a wall display shows live status hands-off. By the end you have a board anyone can see with no login, and you know how to take it back down. This uses the views and data from the tutorials before it.

Make a public surface​

  1. Pick something worth showing: the "what's low" view from the first tutorial, or a board that puts a few views side by side.
  2. Open Configuration → Public surfaces, in the Connections section, and hit Publish to pick what you are sharing and turn a surface on.
  3. Cobblr gives you a long, random URL.
  • Anyone with that link sees a read-only version, with no account and no way into the rest of your workspace.
  • It reads from a separate public endpoint, so only what you opted in to share is ever visible. Full detail is in Public sharing.

Put it on the screen​

Open the URL on an old tablet, a spare laptop, or a TV browser. The page renders as a TV-friendly gallery or list and refreshes on its own, so it shows current status without anyone touching it: a build board, a shop's current work, what got done this week.

Take it down​

Each surface is turned on, off, or revoked on its own. Revoke the URL and it stops resolving right away, so a board is never permanent by accident and never all-or-nothing.

You now have​

A live board on a screen, and a workspace you built end to end: a category, scan capture, labeled locations, an automation, a custom app, and a public display. From here, the guides go feature by feature, and the examples show complete setups.
