Perspective App: force only one app at time

[tecnoeletronic]

Hi,

there is a way to force only one APP opened at time on a device?
Every times operators click the launch icon a new application is opened.. so happens that there are 4-5 identical application running on same device..

You could script something on session events to kill off older sessions that have the same device ID.

Ok! It means that there isn't a "special setting" to do this!

Thanks

No.

It's the same as pretty much every other website.
What problem is it having multiple tabs or windows open on the same application?

Hi,

i think that it's a nonsense to have 4-5 times the same application running on same device in a production enviroment. I'm using only 10 device active per time but if they open the app 4-5 times i have 50 apps running.. Does a Perspective app in background consume resources in device? Does the Ingition server reserve resources?

I don't disagree that, depending on the use case, a single device probably has no need to run more than one application, however, there are also applications where it's completely feasible. For instance, I have a single application that gives access to analysis tools across 3 different facilities. Some upper management users often have 3 applications open, 1 for each facility.

If you're approaching this from the perspective of being prepared for a high load, and it isn't currently happening, then okay. If you're approaching it from a perspective of it's currently happening and you're trying to prevent it, then perhaps the question you should be asking is why do/would the operators feel the need to launch an additional application? What problem are the operators trying to solve?

Hi,

ok, i agree with you that in a lot of cases is usefull having more applications opened! I'm not telling that is a bug. I wanted to know if there is a predefined setting to avoid this because in my scenario is a nonsense.

The devices are "Zebra TC52" and "Zebra MC3300" with Android. Operators doesn't want to launch application more than once.. they press the "show apps" button on device and they open a new application instead of showing the already running one!
