Applications list.
To restrict an application:

- Use the selection screen to browse for the application you want to restrict, and select the application's
executable file. When you return to Setup: Applications
, you see the application listed under Restricted Applications.

Application restriction settings
Applications on the list are restricted according to the following settings:
Time:
|
Restricted applications can be used only during the specified hours,
and only for the specified amount of time. |
Access:
|
Blocked - Access is blocked to all restricted applications at all
times. Only Deputy has access to
these applications.
Filtered - Access to all restricted applications is filtered according
to Time.
Allowed - Access is allowed to all applications, including restricted
applications, at all times. |
Examples of application filtering
- If you list a game named Puzzle.exe as one of the Restricted
Applications, and you set applications to be blocked in Setup:Access,
then you cannot run Puzzle.exe unless you use Deputy.
- If you list Puzzle.exe as one of the Restricted
Applications, and you set applications to be filtered in Setup:Access,
you must specify time periods in Setup:Time in which applications are allowed or blocked.
For example, set the hours of operation so that access is allowed only between 7:00 and
9:00 p.m. Monday-Friday. Then Puzzle can be run only on weekdays between 7:00 and 9:00 p.m.
