Sugg. No. 11 - Screens rotator

[erisan500]

It would be nice to have some kind of a screens rotator.
If i have created 5 screens and i'm looking at screen1 it would be kinda helpfull that on a refresh the next screen appears, and so on.

We can't put all the info we want to see in 1 screen.

It is a very nice idea. How would you configure a set of screens for rotation?

[erisan500]

Maybe a general configurable rotation time (in secs).
A check box on each screen item to include it in the rotation.
A way to order the rotation, although this is less important i think.

Hope you get the idea.

One way you could accomplish this is that on the "Screen Creation" page have a option "Rotation Set". Now when you go into the layout generator and click "Empty" instead of giving you a standard add dialog, it provides you with a drop down to select a screen (see note below for a further exploration of this), and the amount of time to have that screen displayed.

note: If you wanted to create a summary rotation set that included others, which isnt a horrible idea perse, and would save lots of work for users, you would have to have a check built in that would verify that you are not including a rotationset that would generate a loop.
