For administrators

Service settings

The gl_settings table and the mobile application's administrative settings password.

The gl_settings table transfers service settings for the Android application from the accounting system. It is downloaded as a regular XML table.

Administrative settings password

The ADMIN_USER_PASS code sets the password for opening protected administrative settings in the mobile application.

This is a separate client password. It does not change the PalmOrder Server control panel password and is not used for device pairing.

<table name="gl_settings">

    <record>
      <f>ADMIN_USER_PASS</f>

Replace the example value with your own password before use. If there is no ADMIN_USER_PASS record, the application uses admin.
