A typical scenario is that the IT administrator creates a macOS script file that configures specific ClickShare parameters.
The table below lists the supported parameters that can be used when deploying the ClickShare Desktop App (PKG) file on macOS devices (how-to, see KB13167).

| ACCEPT_EULA | YES | Mandatory parameter | v4.40+ |
| BETA_PROGRAM | YES, NO | Optional parameter Default value: YES To control the “Beta Program” UI option | v4.40+ |
| PRODUCT_USAGE_ANALYTICS | YES, NO | Optional parameter Default value: YES To turn on and off “Usage Statistics” | v4.40+ |
| DEFAULT_UI | MINI, LARGE | Optional parameter Default value: Not Set To decide the UI style of the app | v4.40+ |
| AUTO_UPDATE | YES, NO | Optional parameter
Default value: YES To control if the app will be automatically updated or not | v4.40+ |
Script examples

Info! If you see api.amplitude.com being rejected by your firewall or proxy, this is the statistics engine of the client attempting to upload anonymous usage information. It can be disabled individually per client or system-wide with the PRODUCT_USAGE_ANALYTICS=NO switch. The installed client may need to be deleted from the system(s) before installing the App again.
