button at the top of the Graphic Controls monitor, then either click the Open in Browser button or follow the on-screen instructions to open the controller from a remote machine.
Note: A scoreboard controller's features vary depending on the sport and type of scoreboard data source selected in the project's settings. For details, see Create projects for sporting events.
