11. Make all necessary changes to the website in order to enhance performance, customize the user interface and clear browser data:

• Website name and/or description
• Show/hide the navigation bar
• Show/hide the loading bar
• Support/Not Support PDF documents
• Establish a timeout period (inactive time) after which the system will return to the home page
• Designate a View Mode – Full View or Form View. Select “Form View” for automatically scrolling within the website.
• Web View Type – choose the browser rendering engine to use. Select “Native” to use the default Android Chrome-based WebView (WebKit). Select “Xwalk” to use the Crosswalk WebView. Crosswalk is effectively a modified version of Chromium, the open source basis of the Google Chrome browser, and provides better performance, more video codec support and HTML5 features like WebGL, WebRTC, IndexedDB, Web Sockets, CSS3. Moreover, it has been optimized for running continuous display devices.
• User Agent – choose which browser (version and operating system) to use. Default user agent is Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 7.1; EloView 2.0/MSM8953) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/54.0.2840.68 Mobile Safari/537.36.
• Append information (site name, device name, or serial number) to the website address. This is considered a Smart URL and allows you to track individual device use and potentially customize the website experience for each device. For example, smart URLs can be used to display a store’s inventory.
• Enable/disable the hardware layer to speed up buffering of online videos
• Enable/disable the virtual keyboard
• Enable/disable SSL
• When done, click the Apply button
