Monitor Booth Status

You can monitor your booth's health and performance in real-time using either the in-app Mission Control screen or the devices page on your online dashboard.

In-App Mission Control

Mission Control is a hidden dashboard available after you have launched your booth. It lets you check your connection status and make adjustments without exiting booth mode.

How to Access Mission Control

To keep the interface secure from guests, Mission Control is accessed via a specific touch gesture:

1. Ensure the app is resting on the Tap to Start screen.
2. Place two fingers side-by-side in the center of the screen.
3. Slowly pinch out (slide your fingers away from each other in opposite directions).

This gesture is intentionally subtle to prevent participants from accidentally accessing your settings during an event. It may take a few tries to master the movement!

Mission Control Tools

Mission Control is divided into four tabs: Status, Attract, Light, and Composition. Use the tabs at the bottom of the screen to move between them.

Status

Check on your setup at a glance:

• Basic info: See which preset is active, which online gallery is receiving uploads, the Wi-Fi network in use, the iPad's name and available storage, and the license code authorizing the app.
• Queue: See whether any photos are still waiting to upload from the device.
• Devices: Manage connected capture hardware, such as a DSLR camera.

Attract, Light, and Composition

These three tabs hold the booth's on-site adjustments: start screen appearance, camera exposure and monitoring tools, and framing and layout controls. Learn more about each in Camera & Screen Settings.

Online Devices Page

If you are managing an event remotely, you can get a status overview of all your iPads from the devices page in your dashboard.

The dashboard provides a live look at:

• Connection Status: See when the iPad was "Last Seen" online.
• Event Details: Which preset is running and the latest upload activity.
• Hardware Health: Monitor the iPad's battery percentage and available disk space.
• Software: Ensure the iPad is running the latest version of the HALO app.
• Queue: See if there are pending uploads stored on the device.

From this page, you can also rename your iPad or remotely launch a new preset, provided the device is currently online.
