What’s new
Mobile nav bar menu
Introducing a new mobile nav bar menu, this option allows you to display a menu at the bottom of the screen for mobile applications, consisting typically only of buttons with icons pointing to pages such as Home, Downloads, Search, or Account.
Operators can manage this new menu type in Presentation Manager by navigating to Display → Menus → Mobile Nav Bar.
Menu icons
You can now add icons to your menus to define additional visual aids in the navigation. This is crucial for any new Mobile nav bar entries where icons replace text.
Available menu icons can be managed in Admin → Settings → Menu Icons.
Hover overlays in list asset selector
When hovering over an asset in the autocomplete dropdown of the list asset selector, more information about the asset will now display in an overlay.
Send to Top feature in lists
For lists consisting of a large number of assets, a new option now allows you to easily send an asset to the top of the list by choosing the dropdown option Send to top.
Help Centre link
You can now use our new self-service AXIS Help Centre to guide you through configuring features in Presentation Manager, view Reference App examples, and keep up to date with newly released functionality.
Select the Help Center link found in the top navigation at all times to be redirected.
