From the demo videoWhat it is
History timeline, explained.
Tap any event for a detailed view with a summary and an image gallery.
Optionally add a yearbook catalogue with pages for browsing class photos by decade. Staff manage it all in a spreadsheet-like interface.
How it works
From datasource to screen.
- Staff enter event details (year, name, description, photos) into Wallboard’s internal datasource.
- Buttons, images and videos are edited in Wallboard’s Quick Editor and Designer.
- Class photo galleries are organised into folders by decade.
- Visitors browse the timeline, tap events for details and explore class photos.
- No external integrations or third-party systems are required.
