Background App Refresh

The CartonCloud app continues certain operations while in the background e.g. checking the user's "Clock On" status with the server to ensure Push Notifications are sent correctly.

Initial access granted automatically on install.

 

Changing Permissions

Users may change permissions given to the CartonCloud app at any stage, by modifying the app settings on their device.

Android

Permissions can be modified in Settings > Apps > CartonCloud > Permissions on devices that allow users to manage permissions. This is only possibly on devices running Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) and up.

Notification settings are handled separately in some newer versions of Android though and can be tuned in more fine-grain detail in Settings > Notifications > App Notifications > CartonCloud, as well as just switching them on or off in the app permission settings.
