About Settings

Within each Manifest application (3D, Web, Mobile), users can view ‘Settings’ to access information about their User Account. Depending on the Manifest Application, ‘Settings’ may also contain information about the current version installed or configuration controls for that application.

Manifest Web Application Settings

The User Account Settings in the Manifest Web Application can be accessed from the upper right-hand corner by selecting the users’ avatar. To view or edit an account through the Manifest Web Application, follow these steps:

  1. Login to the Manifest Web Application for the respective domain
  2. From the upper right-hand corner, select the user avatar
  3. This will open a modal window for the users’ Profile Information
  4. From the Profile Page, information such as Name, Title, Manifest Role, and Email associated with the user account is available
  5. Select the Edit button to update the Profile Information, add a new Avatar, or change the user password

Manifest 3D Application Settings

‘Settings’ in the Manifest 3D Application can be accessed at the bottom of the Dock’s Main Menu by selecting the Settings button. The Settings Window has three tabs: Information, Options, and Bug Report. Below is a summary of each tab:

Settings Information

The Information tab includes a Logout button along with the following details:

  • Version: the version number of the application installed
  • Frame Rate: the current frame rate for the device, which is used as a measure of system performance (the HoloLens targets 60 FPS for Hologram stability while the Magic Leap targets upwards of 90 FPS)
  • Memory Used: the current memory usage by the application. If the application uses too much memory, it can cause the application to become unresponsive. In the case that too much memory is being used, consider restarting the application. It also can be used as an indicator that 3D Models, photos, or videos include resources that are larger than is recommended for the device. For example, this could show that a 3D model has textures that are too large in pixel count and are taking a very large of memory when loaded
  • Domain: the current Manifest Domain
  • User: the email address associated with the current User Account

Settings Options

The Options tab includes various application options which are described below:

  • Gaze to select: Use ‘Gaze to select’ to operate Manifest hands-free. When enabled using this Settings option, Operators can activate any button by gazing at the button
    • The application will wait 2 seconds and then load an animation indicating that the Operator’s gaze has activated the button
    • This takes approximately 3 seconds before selection is complete
    • To stop the selection, the Operator moves their gaze before the selection animation loading completes
    • ‘Gaze to select’ is disabled by default
  • Set Offline Access PIN: This 6-digit PIN is required to login to Manifest when working in Offline Mode
    • Users will be prompted to create a 6-digit PIN when creating their first Offline Work Package
    • This PIN can also be set or changed from the Settings Options
  • Clear Cached Files: The 3D device will cache 3D model files, videos, and photos as they are loaded and store locally on the device to make it quicker to load on subsequent uses
    • To clear any cached Manifest data from the device, select this option
  • Hand (Magic Leap Only): The pointer is based on the user’s hand position and tapping your fingers in the shape of a “C” and then a pinch or the shape of a “L” and then a pinch will perform an “air tap” and select the object under the cursor
  • Controller (Magic Leap Only): The pointer is based on the handheld 6DoF controller and the trigger will select the object under the cursor at the end of the control ray

Settings Bug Report

The Bug Report tab allows Manifest users to submit a bug report to the Manifest Support Team. The report will automatically notify the Manifest Support Team and include any information the user provided with the Bug Report along with the device logs to assist developers in troubleshooting.
