Here you can edit the information that appears to your mobile users as soon as they log on to a mobile workstation.

The display form of the info can be edited here. You can differentiate between a news ticker and a popup notification.

Display time

The display time of the info (in minutes) can be adjusted here.

With this option you can determine whether the info can be closed or not.

Settings for default favourites / grouped favourites

 

In the default favourites you can create favourites which can be selected directly by your mobile users. The advantage here is that the data do not have to be entered again if your users have changed workstations, but can select them directly from a drop-down menu.

 

AlertDemandfavourites

 

Use the button Alarm_+ to create a new favourite. After the creation it will be available for your mobile users.

 

 

In the default grouped favourites you can divide your created favourites into groups. This has the advantage of clarity if you have created many default favourites.
