For the proper functioning of the solution, a correct registration of the devices is essential. Discrepancies can affect the behavior of the software.
You have two ways to access the Devices configuration area. To do so, follow the steps below:
- Quick Actions: in the toolbar, ath the top of the senhasegura platform, click the icon represented by a sheet of paper with the sum sign and select Device. This action will load a pop-up window witht the Device form.
- Grid Menu: in the top left corner, click the icon represented by a box of nine squares, and select Devices.
In case you select the second way, you'll need to select Devices on the side menu. To do this, proceed as follows:
- Select, on the side menu, Devices to load the list of devices.
- Click on the Display Actions icon, identified by the three vertical dots, and select + New.
A pop-up window will show the Device form with the data to be filled in to register a new device in the senhasegura platform.
