Button grid menus |
Clicking on this opens the Edit touch button layout dialog, where you can add or edit button grid menus that are available in the customization window. In our demo data, we have three button grids selected for the store "Supermarket," Operation Selection (Button grid 1), Main Operations (Button grid 2) and Supermarket PLU Main (Button grid 3). There are five button grids available. In its set up, the Open Menu, Operation Selection is attached to menus that are assigned to button grid 2. Main operations is just one of the menus that are assigned to a button in Operation Selection, so it is chosen to be the menu that appears on default when you open the POS. The Supermarket PLU Main is a Submenu, a layered menu that opens other menus in the same button grid. |
Change design | Clicking on this button opens the customization window from which you can drag and drop objects into the touch button layout. |
