Home for iPad
The new Home screen for iPad devices allow for a customizable dashboard inside of Flow Capture.
Flow Capture for iPad's new Home allows you to customize various widgets to surface what you need to see most as soon as you launch the app.
We plan to introduce new widgets over time, with our initial release including widgets for
- Shared Playlists
- Productions
Setting up Home for the first time
When we first launch the updated Flow Capture for iPad, we'll see a new Home tab and a message to let us know that No widgets are found - since we're about to set them up, this is normal! Don't panic!
To set up home, tap [Edit Home] and then choose [Add Widget] from the dropdown menu.
Customize Home
Here we can enable (and disable) our available Widgets.

Widget Options
Once the Home screen has been customized to your liking, you're then able to further filter and sort the contents displayed in the widget. This includes filtering to unread only or to group by Production.
When receiving large amounts of content we can also topggle "Grid Mode" on to increase the available number of items in the widget, along with the3 overall size of the widget.
