Element / Switch	Function / Description
Setting up the keyboard and layout	The keyboard is made available to you in demo mode (no real bookings are generated). You can register for this as you like, as the secret number is not checked. As long as you do not connect to the web server with this button or with the Connect to server button or you change the configuration selection (the interface to the web server is disconnected), only the Settings and System settings tabs are available. The current CLOU MOBILE configuration is saved, but the WebService is deliberately not informed to avoid (constant) updating on the mobile devices. To do this if necessary, you can use the Update master data HSLOCAL button in the System settings tab if no subsystem is running (yet).

If you work with a large number of items, working with the mobile device can slow down noticeably when using merchandise groups. Further documentation: Noteworthy information on product groups
