BlueWorx Settings Page
The various page sections are documented below. The following screen fields and controls pertain to the page header and footer sections:
| Field/ Control | Explanation/ Use |
|---|---|
| Header Section | |
 | This control returns you to the previous screen. |
 | This control returns you to the Home Page. |
| Footer Section | |
| Device Information button | Provides a dialog screen showing basic information about your device and BlueWorx related application version |
User Settings Section
This section allows you to control which of the profiles you have active directly against your User, and is controlled by BlueWorx User Admin Settings. For clarity:
- This functionality does not allow for the enablement/ disablement of BlueWorx profiles indirectly assigned using BlueWorx Profile > SAP Roles
- Is independent of the overall Profile Activation/ Deactivation and whose deactivation takes precedence. i.e. if the Profile is Deactivated at the Profile level then that Profile will not be taken into consideration when the User syncs, regardless of their own Activation settings
The following is an illustration of this screen area:

Your Device Settings Section
This section allows you to control the behavior of your device settings specific to your User. That is, if you share a device with others, they can have different settings. The following is a partial illustration of this screen area:
The following screen fields and controls are defined, where not documented they are considered self explanatory or are explained elsewhere:
| Field/ Control | Explanation/ Use |
|---|---|
| General | |
| Maintain CATS Profile | Change the SAP CATS profile (if in use) and elect to tell the device to Work Offline even if it is connected to WiFi or cellular network. This setting applies to the current user working on this device. |
| Work Offline | The Work Offline functionality is particularly useful where you have weak connectivity and want to force updates to the BlueWorx outbox rather than attempting to communicate with SAP. This is also helpful for when you want to use downloaded map data. |
| Maintain Default Map | This is the default map that will show, where available, on opening the application. |
| User Mouse to Edit | If you have a Bluetooth mouse connected to your mobile device then this can be used instead of touching the screen when editing maps. |
| Date & Time | |
| Time Zones | See Selecting a Time Zone for information on these settings. |
| Background Sync | |
| Don't Send Outbox Records | When switched on, if your administrator has activated Background Syncing, any records in your outbox won't be sent to SAP on Background Sync. Rather you have to initiate the sync with SAP. |
| Use System Default | Allows you to control the application of the system defaults for the setting above. |
Device Settings Section
This section allows you to control the behavior of your device settings that apply to all user of this device/ application. The following screen fields and controls are defined, where not documented they are considered self explanatory or are explained elsewhere:
| Field/ Control | Explanation/ Use |
|---|---|
| Reset Device | This clears all the BlueWorx data from the device. |
| Reset Map Database | This clears the downloaded map tiles and layers from the map database for BlueWorx. |
| Select (Map) Database | Where the user has permission to do so they can select a pre-prepared map database to replace the existing one on the device. For further details see: Map Data in BlueWorx. This functionality was introduced in SP12. |
| Export (Map) Database | Where the user has permission to do so then they can export a copy of their map database for use with other devices. Works is tandem with the option above though the recommended way to maintain the database is using specialists - see link in prior point for more on this topic. This functionality was introduced in SP12. |
Document Storage Section
Through configuration settings documents can be downloaded to the device on Sync. Where documents exist that are outside of the settings then users will be prompted after a sync to review the documents and download them selectively. Or they can initiate this at any time.
