Faronics Insight User Guide
Refresh Screen
Pressing F5 on a PC or command-r on a Mac or the menu item View -> Refresh will refresh the
console by initiating a re-discovery of student computers on the channel.
Sorting
By default, the detail view is sorted alphabetically by the Login Name column. If you click on the
any of the other column headings, the list will sort on the selected column.
Faronics Insight System Tray Menu or Dock Icon Menu
A right mouse click on the Faronics Insight icon in the system tray or dock icon will bring up a
menu that contains the features that most teachers use every day.
A left mouse click on the system tray icon will stop the action that you are doing to the students
and bring up the Faronics Insight Teacher console.
Hotkey for the Faronics Insight Menu
Some Teacher PCs do NOT have a visible task bar. Since it would not be possible to click on the
non-visible icon, you can bring up the Faronics Insight Teacher's menu with a ctrl+alt+l. (The "l"
stands for Faronics Insight)
Selected Only

classroom layout is automatically saved for each size of thumbnails. To switch to a classroom
layout view, click the arrow to the right of the View All button and select Classroom Layout.
Snap to Grid makes it easier to align thumbnails when in Classroom Layout view. Lock Layout,
makes sure the layout stays the same once you've set it.
Note: Classroom Layout is not an available feature in the WMS teacher.
