-
The "stand-alone" application does not allow the user to upload Audio files.
-
The "stand-alone" application requires a User ID code logon.
Correct Answer
A. The applications are identical, but the "stand-alone" application will not allow a user to edit the running design with the Designer software.Explanation
The stand-alone Administrator desktop application and the version accessible through the Designer software are essentially the same in terms of functionality. However, the key difference is that the stand-alone application does not allow the user to make edits to the running design using the Designer software. This means that any changes or modifications to the design can only be made through the stand-alone application itself.Rate this question:

True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
The statement is false because selecting the Loop button in the Audio Player component will not make the audio file loop for one hour. The Loop button only allows the audio file to loop continuously until it is stopped manually or until the event ends. To make the audio file loop for one hour, additional programming or scripting would be required to set a specific duration for the loop.Rate this question:

A. All Users will have access to any feature that the Guest User has access to.
A. You can select multiple Users and edit their settings simultaneously.
A. The File Management Protocol may be accessed by a User even if that User does not have permission to use Administrator.Explanation
All Users will have access to any feature that the Guest User has access to: This statement is true because the Guest User is typically the lowest level of access in a system, so if all Users have access to the features that the Guest User has, it means they have at least the same level of access as the Guest User.
You can select multiple Users and edit their settings simultaneously: This statement is true because the system allows for selecting multiple Users and making changes to their settings at the same time, which can save time and effort when managing a large number of Users.
The File Management Protocol may be accessed by a User even if that User does not have permission to use Administrator: This statement is true because the File Management Protocol is a separate feature or functionality that may have its own set of permissions, independent of the Administrator permission. So, a User can access the File Management Protocol even if they do not have permission to use the Administrator role.Rate this question:
