Classic-CoreImage - Determine Your Device's Mode


Introduction

CoreImage devices are customized for specific workflows and applications.  The "CoreImage" brand is used by HITS to encompass two similar products.

Classic-CoreImage devices are configured and managed by using the HITS-developed Fleet Configuration System (FCS) and Microsoft's Endpoint Configuration Manager--which HITS still calls SCCM from a previous version.  A Classic-CoreImage can come in one of three configurations, or "modes."  A Classic-CoreImage device's mode is matched with the workflow of the area's users.  See "Classic-CoreImage - Where do I find my device's information?" including Mode.

  • Standard -- for individual and group use
  • Flex -- primarily for research areas that need to control when the computer reboots
  • Kiosk -- walk-up devices primarily used in clinical areas
