You can turn on local control of Enterprise Mode so that your users can turn Enterprise Mode on from the Tools menu. Turning on this feature also adds the Enterprise browser profile to the Emulation tab of the F12 developer tools.

Besides turning on this feature, you also have the option to provide a URL for Enterprise Mode logging. If you turn logging on, Internet Explorer initiates a simple POST back to the supplied address, including the URL and a specification that EnterpriseMode was turned on or off through the Tools menu.

  5. Right-click the Enable key, click Modify, and then type a Value data to point to a server that you can listen to for updates.

    edit registry string for data collection location.

Your Value data location can be any of the following types:

  • URL location, for example: https://www.emieposturl.com/api/records or https://localhost:13000. IE sends a POST message to the URL every time a change is made to Enterprise Mode from the Tools menu.

    Important

    The https://www.emieposturl.com/api/records example will only work if you've downloaded the sample discussed in the Set up Enterprise Mode logging and data collection article. If you don't have the sample, you won't have the web API.

  • Local network location, for example: https://emieposturl/. IE sends a POST message to your specified local network location every time a change is made to Enterprise Mode from the Tools menu.

  • Empty string. If you leave the Value data box blank; your employees will be able to turn Enterprise Mode on and off from the Tools menu, but you won't collect any logging data.

For information about how to collect the data provided when your employees turn Enterprise Mode on or off from the Tools menu, see Set up Enterprise Mode logging and data collection.
