App Settings
App Settings
The policies that apply to every session in your organisation, and to the Computle app on every device, are set on one portal page with a tab for each area. In the portal the page is called Client settings.
Open Client settings under Machines in the sidebar. The page needs the Tenant Admin role. The subtitle reads “How the Computle desktop client looks and behaves for this tenant.”
The tabs
Section titled “The tabs”| Tab | What it sets | Page |
|---|---|---|
| Device features | Whether sessions may carry USB devices and the clipboard between the user’s device and the workstation, and what the workstation does when the user disconnects or goes idle. Organisation defaults with per-user exceptions. | Device features |
| Menu tab | The shape, size and colour of the tab that opens the menu in a full-screen session. Organisation default with per-user exceptions. | Menu tab |
| Sign-in | Which sign-in methods your organisation’s users can use. | Sign-in methods |
| Branding | Your own wording and photos on the client’s sign-in page. Shown only when branding is part of your subscription. | Branding |

| Diagnostics | Raise the log level on your workstations or clients for a set time when Computle asks for it. | Diagnostics |
The tab you were on is kept in the page address, so a link to ?tab=kiosk opens straight on Kiosk.
