Configuring local settings

You can configure 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.

NOTE: While it is not recommended to use dialog boxes for configuring thin client settings, they are available in case

you want to temporarily override central default configurations or you do not have the option to set up central

configuration (smaller environments). In general, it is recommended that you use central configuration to enable you to

automatically push updates and any desired default configuration to all supported thin clients in your environment.
