Conguring thin client settings
You can congure available thin client settings on the thin client using the following. Depending on user privilege level, some dialog boxes
and options may not be available for use.
• Local settings menu

NOTE: While it is not recommended to use dialog boxes for conguring thin client settings, they are available in case you want to
temporarily override central default congurations or you do not have the option to set up central conguration (smaller

any desired default conguration to all supported thin clients in your environment, see Central conguration: Automating updates
and congurations
