Conguring Thin Client Settings
You can congure available thin client settings on the thin client using the following. Depending on user privilege level, some dialog boxes
and options may not be available for use.
• Local Settings Menu
• Reset Features
NOTE:
While it is not recommended to use dialog boxes for conguring thin client settings, they are available in case you want to temporarily
override central default congurations or you do not have the option to set up central conguration (smaller environments). In general,
it is recommended that you use central conguration to enable you to automatically push updates and any desired default conguration
to all supported thin clients in your environment, see Central Conguration: Automating Updates and Congurations.
