Through the Hardware Tab of the device management
application, FullCount staff can add hardware without waiting for a member of
the development team. To successfully add hardware, users will need to add
hardware through the device management application and also on the Terminals
page in the back office application. Each FullCount employee will have their
own username and password to access the device management application.

not be visible on the table.
