The first profile in the back-office cannot be deleted, ensuring that there is always one available.

Starting from version 4.4.3, it is mandatory to select a profile on the device to continue working.
-
If the app is closed, the profile remains. You only need to reselect it if it is disassociated from the device from the back-office.

If the employee does not have the privilege to access the preferences, the profile will remain. They can only select and create a profile if they access it for the first time after updating.
-
The created profile can be added to the devices from the devices section. More information here.
-
The changes you make to the preferences from the app will be temporary.
-
If you make modifications, a message will appear:
