Functions settings

The Functions settings let you specify the functions (for example, playback on the Live tab) that you want to display on a particular XProtect Smart Client tab.

The Mode column displays where the pane is available, the Function column displays the name of the function, and the Setting column lets you specify whether or not you want the pane to be available.

If available, the Follow Server column lets you specify that you want your XProtect Smart Client to follow the recommended settings of the server. Certain settings are server-controlled, in which case configuration on the server decides whether or not you can override the settings.
