Manually assign a device class to a client


We can manually assign a device class to a client.

In the Supported Clients administration section, add a specific capability on the client:

  1. To assign a client the device class smartphone, add the following capability: com.ibm.portal.devicesupport.deviceclass=smartphone.

  2. To assign several device classes to a client, use a comma-separated list.

    For example, add the following capability to assign both smartphone and tablet classes: com.ibm.portal.devicesupport.deviceclass=smartphone,tablet for assignment of both

    If several device classes are assigned to a client, the order of assignment is important. This order is used as precedence when the client requests resources available for several device classes.

    For instance, when a clienassigned the device classes smartphone and tablet requests a resource that is available for both smartphones and tablets, the smartphone resource is served. If the resource is available only for tablets, then that resource is served to this client, provided the resource fulfills other client requirements such as localization support.
