  • Custom sign-on screen

    We have been using a custom sign-on screen for a long time now. It was designed for some hand-held scanners that have a very small screen, so the userid & password are now moved to the top left corner of a std screen. This saves them from having to scroll over and down to get to the input field.
    Now a new app requires the userid & password be in the "standard" positions on the signon screen. Changing it back for users is no big deal. Question: Is there a way to give these handheld users the custom screen, while allowing everyone else the "standard" version? Perhaps using a different SBS? I can identify these users by device name.

    using a different subsystem will work. you'll just have to route the devices (by device prefix, etc) to the necessary subsystem.

      look at qinter it has *ALL as workstation type...you want to change this to QPAD* -- and any other rouge device names.
      then create your new interactive subsystem I have one called RFINTER (get it ) then name all the RF deviced something like RF00001, RF00002 ... (you can be more creative here) then addwse to that subsystem of RF*
