How to configure the settings:

  1. In Opter, click on Settings > Mobile data > Settings mobile data.

  2. Click on an empty row in the Name column and then on the down arrow in the row being added.

  3. Click on the setting you want to configure in the list, for example App.ShowOnlySuppliersSecondaryResources. Enter “true” or “false” in the Value column.

    Configure the settings as follows:

    1. Choose whether the user should be able to add a resource type that is different to the one they logged in as.

      Select App.ChooseSecondaryResourceIfSupplier from the list.

      • “True” = the user can add a resource type that is different to the one they logged in as.

      • “False” = the user cannot add a resource type that is different to the one they logged in as.

      • If no value is specified for App.ChooseSecondaryResourceIfSupplier, it will be treated as “true”.

      If App.ChooseSecondaryResourceIfSupplier is set to “true”, continue to step 2 below. If App.ChooseSecondaryResourceIfSupplier is set to “false”, skip steps 2 and 3 below.

    2. Choose whether it should be mandatory or optional for the user to add a resource type other than the one they logged in as.

      Select App.ChooseSecondaryResourceOptionalIfSupplier from the list.

      • “True” = the addition of a different resource type is optional.

      • “False” = the addition of a different resource type is mandatory. If, for example, the user logs in as a driver, they must then add a vehicle.

      • If no value is specified for App.ChooseSecondaryResourceOptionalIfSupplier, it is treated as “false”.

    3. Choose whether the user should only see other resources associated with the same supplier.

      Select App.ShowOnlySuppliersSecondaryResources from the list.

      • “True” = only show other resources associated with the same supplier. This means that users who log in and are associated with a supplier cannot see other supplier’s drivers or vehicles. Nor do they see drivers and vehicles without suppliers. They only see other resources that are associated with the same suppliers as them.

      • “False” = show all other possible resources, not just those associated with the same supplier as the user.

      • If no value is specified for App.ShowOnlySuppliersSecondaryResources, it will be treated as “true”.

    4. Click on Save.

    1. Choose whether the user should be able to add a resource type that is different to the one they logged in as.

      • “False” = the user cannot add a resource type that is different to the one they logged in as.

      • If no value is specified for App.ChooseSecondaryResource, it will be treated as “true”.

      If App.ChooseSecondaryResource is set to “true”, continue to step 2 below. If App.ChooseSecondaryResource is set to “false”, skip steps 2 and 3 below.

    2. Choose whether it should be optional or mandatory for the user to add a resource type that is different to the one they logged in as.

      Select App.ChooseSecondaryResourceOptional from the list.

      • “True” = the user is given the option to add a resource type that is different to the one they logged in as. The user does not have to add a resource type that is different to the one they logged in as.

      • “False” = The user must add a resource type that is different to the one they logged in as. For example, if you log in as a driver, you must then add a vehicle.

      • If no value is specified for App.ChooseSecondaryResourceOptional, “false” is set by default.

    3. If the user logging in is not associated with a supplier, choose whether the user should only be able see other resources that are not associated with a supplier.

      Select App.ShowOnlySuppliersSecondaryResources from the list.

      • “True” = users who log in and are not associated with a supplier will only see other resources that are not associated with a supplier.
