Dealer Filter

The functionality of Patriot's ICA (web client) module is quickly catching up to the traditional Windows desktop client. This has meant that increasingly monitoring stations are granting their dealers access to their Patriot clients via ICA instead of or in addition to the Windows desktop client via the IDA module. When a dealer is setup for both ICA and IDA access this can result in duplication, e.g. when using the Insert Client for Dealer option the dealer may be listed twice. This setting controls whether dealers setup for IDA access or ICA access (or both) are displayed in these areas of Patriot. If you are using a mixture of ICA and IDA for dealer access it is recommended that this setting is changed from the default value of Both to IDA Only or ICA Only to prevent this duplication.
