F1–F7 keys and the settings drawer

The button row in the bottom bar is collapsed by default; expanded, it takes 44 of the handheld’s 640 pixels. Its expanded/collapsed state is remembered on the device.

Shortcuts do nothing while a dialog is open or while you are typing in a text field. You can disable them completely: F6 → F1–F6 shortcuts active.

Step by step

Expand the bottom-bar key row

1. Look at the bottom bar. Three counters are on the left; three small unlabeled icons are on the right: a red X, full-screen icon, and gear.
2. Tap the gear on the right. Its tooltip says More buttons.
3. A row of seven buttons opens below the counters: F1 through F6, and Esc on the last, red button. Below 360 px wide, labels do not fit and are hidden; only icons remain.
4. Tap the gear again to hide the row; its tooltip then says Hide buttons. The choice is saved on this device.

Open the settings drawer

1. Press F6. Without a keyboard, expand the row as above and tap F6 — Settings.
2. The Interface settings panel slides out on the right.
3. At the top, under Warehouse, is a button with the current warehouse name. Tap it to close the drawer and open Select warehouse.
4. Below are three switches: F1–F6 shortcuts active, Connection monitor visible, and Kiosk mode (force return to FS after Esc). They take effect immediately; there is no Save button or confirmation message.
5. At the bottom is Show full-screen prompt on startup again.
6. Close the drawer with the X in its header or press F6 again.

Disable keyboard shortcuts

1. Open the drawer with F6.
2. Turn off F1–F6 shortcuts active.
3. The entire F1–F7 row becomes inactive, including F7, even though the label says F1–F6. The bottom-bar buttons still work when tapped.
4. The setting stays on this device and survives reopening the kiosk.
5. To re-enable it without a keyboard: bottom bar → gear → F6 — Settings → switch it back on.

Exit the kiosk

1. Press F7 or tap the red X at the right end of the bottom bar.
2. If the mode has screens to go back through, the first press goes back one step inside the mode and does nothing else. Keep pressing.
3. When there is nowhere else to go back to, End WMS mode? appears with You will leave kiosk mode and return to the dashboard.
4. Tap Yes, exit to go to the WMS dashboard. No, stay closes the dialog and returns to work.

What is in the drawer

Only settings for this device:

• warehouse selection;
• F1–F6 shortcuts;
• connection monitor visibility;
• kiosk mode (force return to full screen);
• reset the full-screen prompt.

Not available there: quantity thresholds, permission to scan with the camera, or confirmation rules. These are company policies set on the server; any operator could change them if they were in this drawer.

Kiosk hardening

In full-screen mode, the terminal blocks F12, Ctrl+Shift+I/J/C, Ctrl+U, Ctrl+L, Ctrl+T/W/N, Ctrl+R, the right mouse button, and dragging. Reload is deliberately blocked: operators never need it because F1 refreshes the mode state inside the app.

This is an obstacle, not a security measure — someone with keyboard access can still leave through the operating system.
