Configuring System Preferences

These properties can be updated by simply double-clicking on an item on this list. This opens the Update Property modal, where the respective values can be modified and the changes can be confirmed by clicking on Save.

Note: In the case of a multi-domain server, administrators are able to maintain preferences for each domain separately. The set of properties can be quickly enabled for various domains by exporting them from one domain and importing them to another.

Configuring Device Flow for Frontline Workplace

This configuration has the highest security level due to two-factor authentication and does not require scanning any QR code. Instead, the user needs to enter the login code for the respective device after clicking on the ENTER DEVICE LOGIN CODE button displayed on the Frontline Command Center dashboard.

Activating Device Flow:

  1. Go to Configuration > Preferences.
  2. Search for "keycloak".
  3. Double-click on the fcc.keycloak.preferred-client-login property.
  4. In the Update Property modal, select Device Flow from the drop-down list.
  5. Click on Save to confirm the changes.

To switch back to sign-in via login QR code, select Legacy in step 4.
