Fat client configurations
There are typically 2 types of startup configurations: 1 for a scanner, and 1 for a touchscreen.
Below you can find 1 example of each:
SCANNER:

Mobile Client Screens
4.2.1. Difference between scanner and touchscreen mode
The application can run either on a scanner or on a touch screen. The scanner mode is used in mobile scanner devices. The touchscreen mode can be used in addition to the scanner, on immobile devices. The minimum screen resolution is 240 x 320 for the scanner mode and 1024 x 768 for the touchscreen mode.
The menu structure is the same on both mode, but the available functions are different. Because the touchscreen is used on immobile devices, flows connected to fixed stations are available in touch screen mode.
4.2.2. Sections of the screen
Title
The title is located on the top of the screen. It can display system commands or the name of the current step. While navigating among the menus, the title shows the menu structure. Next to the menu name, the system also displays the menu page number.
Menu screens have a blue background. Screens in a normal flow have a grey background.
The toolbar is located on the bottom of the screen. When a button is inactive, it is displayed in gray.
(1) Left arrow: Displays the previous screen.
(2) Stop: Exits from the current flow.
(3) Refresh: Updates the document list.
(4) Delete: Removes the selected item.
(5) Right arrow: Displays the next screen.
Additional toolbar buttons on the touchscreen:
(1) Left arrow: Displays the previous screen.
(2) Stop: Exits from the current flow.
(3) Keyboard: Displays the touchscreen keyboard.
(4) Clock: Used in the production flows to start the time registration.
(5) Delete: Removes the selected item.
(6) Settings (This button is not currently in use but is reserved for future use.)
(7) Refresh: Updates the document list.
(8) Right arrow: Displays the next screen.
