Download SQLBI Whiteboard
SQLBI Whiteboard functions as a presentation tool where presenters capture live application windows, annotate them with pen input, and display code with proper syntax formatting during technical workshops. The board file format stores all content locally, including embedded previews that appear as thumbnails in file explorers. Container binding ensures that annotations move with captured windows when layout adjustments occur mid-presentation.
The program distinguishes itself through its focus on data-related teaching scenarios. DAX and SQL syntax highlighting in text containers address a specific need in business intelligence training, where presenters frequently display formula code alongside visual representations of data models. The LiveView capture mechanism enables demonstrating software behavior in real time while marking specific interface elements with persistent ink annotations.
The application maintains a constrained feature set centered on ink, containers, and captures rather than incorporating general-purpose diagramming or collaborative editing. This design decision reflects the primary use case of single-presenter instruction, where the board serves as a visual aid during live sessions rather than a shared workspace. The absence of cloud synchronization and account requirements supports usage in environments with restricted network access or data privacy concerns.
