A client is any device - laptop, desktop, smartphone or tablet - that is connected or can connect to a Zone product.
Each device can have its own dedicated set of permissions. This is very useful to regulate who can or cannot adjust settings within a Zone product. It keeps things simple when several staff may be responsible for separate areas of a business.
When a new client connects to Zone, they will have all permissions by default.
- To configure a client, navigate to Settings>Devices and click on client configuration. Ensure you have cookies enabled in your browser settings.
- The device you are currently using appears at the top of the list.
- Click on the device you want to configure
- You are presented with name and permissions
- Give the device in question a user friendly name
- Set permissions for that device
- IMPORTANT - click save to ensure settings are saved
- We advise that the installer settings are passcode locked to ensure that the settings are not accidentally changed - see WebApp - Passcode
- If you want to remove a device configuration to clean up the client configuration area, simply click in the device configuration and press delete.
Top Tips
- Open the browser of the client you are configuring to see the changes happen in real time.
- Locate button - if you are configuring a collection of similar devices use the local button and a pop-up message will appear on the associated device to assist you with naming and finding that device.
- Allowed zones - view zones that are in the side menu bar. If you set only one zone visible, it removes the side navigation.
