Operation Settings
Overview
The Operation Settings screen provides controls for configuring the operation while browsing websites in Datalogic Enterprise Browser, as well as management of configuration settings. It can be reached from the Browser Settings screen.
The settings are organized into groups, each of which are described in the following sections.
Display Settings
Tapping the Display group presents a screen which controls the display when browsing. The following settings are available:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Navigation Bar | |
| Page title | Displays the title of the current web page in the navigation bar. |
| Page URL | Display the URL of the current web page in the navigation bar (only if page title is disabled). |
| Home button | Displays the Home button on the navigation bar. |
| Forward/Back buttons | Displays the Forward and Back buttons on the navigation bar. |
| Refresh button | Displays the Refresh button on the navigation bar. |
| Full screen display | Display web pages full screen. The top/bottom navigation bars are automatically collapsed. Dragging from the top/bottom edge will expand/collapse a navigation bar. |
| Zoom | |
| Enable zoom control | When enabled, the user can change the zoom level for a web page. This is done with screen gestures and/or zoom buttons. |
| Show zoom buttons | When enabled, zoom controls will appear for changing the zoom level. |
| Initial zoom level | Starting zoom level (as a percentage) for a web page when it is loaded. |
| Use wide viewport | Use a wide viewport for web pages that do not specify a width. Disabling this setting may help if the initial scale of a page is too small. |
| Suspend Browsing | |
| Prevent suspend when on battery power | When enabled, this prevents the screen from turning off while the browser is actively running on battery power. |
| Prevent suspend when on external power | When enabled, this prevents the screen from turning off while the browser is actively running on external power. |
Security Settings
Tapping the Security group presents a screen which controls web page access to sensitive information on the device. The following settings are available:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Enable JavaScript | Allows the browser to use JavaScript content in web pages. This must be enabled to use the JavaScript SDK. |
| Send console messages to Logcat | Send JavaScript console log messages to Logcat. This can help assist with debugging web pages when the device is attached to a desktop via ADB to see the messages in real time. |
| Peripheral Access | |
| Location | Controls permission to access the device location. See the following section for details. |
| Camera | Controls permission to access the device camera. See the following section for details. |
| Microphone | Controls permission to access the device microphone. See the following section for details. |
Peripheral Access
When a web page attempts to access a protected peripheral (location, camera or microphone), the browser will check the configuration settings to determine if the permission will be granted. The permissions are applied equally to all websites. The following options are available for each peripheral:
| Permission | Description |
|---|---|
| Allowed | Permission is automatically granted. |
| Ask First | The user is prompted to allow/deny permission. The response is only valid for the current page. The user will be prompted again if subsequent pages attempt to access the peripheral. |
| Blocked | Permission is automatically denied. |
If a web page requests permission to access multiple peripherals, the user will be prompted to allow or deny access to all of them at once.
Navigation Settings
Tapping the Navigation group presents a screen which controls web page navigation when browsing. The following settings are available:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Use Back button for browsing | When enabled, the system Back button will respond as if the Back button was pressed on the browsing navigation bar (going to previous web page). |
| Allow Back button to exit | If enabled, the Back button can be used to exit Datalogic Enterprise Browser (when no previous web page exists in the navigation history). |
| Clear browser cache on Home | If enabled, all the cached content from the browser will be cleared when the Home button is tapped (in addition to going to the Home page). |
| Page load timeout | Maximum time the browser will wait for a page to load before stopping with a timeout error. |
Clear browser cache
Selecting this option clears all the cached content from the web browser. This includes web pages, images, navigation history, cookies and username/passwords.
Browser Administration
This section controls access to the Browser configuration settings.
| Setting | Description |
