Remote configuration

Introduction

The remote configuration is used to store configurations affecting only the fulfillmenttools apps & clients such as the Backoffice or the Operations App. No changes are made in back end based on these configurations.

The remote configuration is a simple configuration key-value store. Based on a key, different values and value types can be saved. Furthermore, every entry can contain a specific scope, meaning that configurations can be made available only to certain user groups or clients.
