  1. Edit or import existing profile:

    a. Click on the Import button on the Scan2Deploy Studio home page to be prompted with a file picker window through which an exported profile can be selected.

    b. Alternatively, if the user is logged in and has previously saved a profile, the edit () icon can be selected within the saved profiles list.

How can I configure Google Chrome with a URL allow/block list?​

You can easily use the Applications page in Scan2Deploy Studio to configure Chrome to either allow certain URLs (no websites are allowed other than the specific ones listed) or block certain URLs (all websites are allowed other than the specific ones listed). Note that this is only supported on devices that include Google Chrome in the image ("GMS" devices).

This example only allows access to the github.com website and blocks access to all other sites:

  1. While in Scan2Deploy, navigate to the Applications page.

  2. Click on the configuration button () in the Configuration column next to Chrome

  3. In the Block access to a list of URLs field, enter ["*"].

  4. In the Allow access to a list of URLs field, enter ["github.com"].

  5. Now, when you have saved and scanned the created barcode on your Datalogic device, Chrome will only be able to access github.com.

Whitelisting github.com

How can I disable or enable the Android navigation bar on my Datalogic device?​

It is possible to disable and enable the Android navigation bar using the Scripts page in Scan2Deploy Studio.

  1. Navigate to the Scripts page in Scan2Deploy Studio.

  2. Add a SHELL script command with the one of the following text:

    • Disable navigation bar
      adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,-190
    • Enable navigation bar
      adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,0

  3. Saving the profile and scanning the created barcode created will show/hide the navigation bar on your Datalogic device.

Why aren't my profiles and/or device selection options appearing in Studio?​

This is most often a result in communication being interrupted between the main application and one or more of the background processes. This could simply be a temporary interruption due to changes in the network connection state. To start the initial troubleshooting, step through the following sequence, testing to see if the issue is resolved after each one:

  1. Wait a few minutes to see if communication is restored automatically
  2. Restart application
    a. Fully shutdown Studio through the task tray option
    b. Wait a few moments to ensure all background processes have finished
    c. Start Scan2Deploy Studio
  3. Restart PC

If the issue persists through these steps, it could be a sign that one of the default ports from Studio is either being assigned to a different process or being reserved by Windows.

Option 1: Exclude ports from dynamic assignment

Important

This method requires User Account Control (UAC) access

  1. Open an elevated command prompt

  2. Exclude the Scan2Deploy Studio ports from dynamic assignment:

    net stop winnat
    netsh int ipv4 add excludedportrange protocol=tcp startport=6379 numberofports=1
    netsh int ipv4 add excludedportrange protocol=tcp startport=51010 numberofports=1
    netsh int ipv4 add excludedportrange protocol=tcp startport=51070 numberofports=1
    net start winnat

  3. Confirm ports are excluded:

    netsh interface ipv4 show excludedportrange protocol=tcp

Option 2: Change port configuration for Studio

As of Scan2Deploy Studio v2.2.0, you can now configure different ports for use by the application.

  1. Identify free port(s) for use on the system
  2. Follow the port configuration instructions to change the port(s) for the desired process.
