Quick Keys¶
Beneath the Sales Assistant, Manager, More & More (2) keypads are 5 rows of "Quick Keys". New builds after the release of build 166 will include all the products necessary for these to function and will have by default the Lottery and Paypoint buttons enabled. Buttons can be enabled, disabled and reorganised as required.
The Quick Keys, which appear below the Scan entry line in the POS terminal window, allow you to set up to 39 buttons for quick access to products or Hotkey panels. All of the buttons have a simple graphic identifying what each button relates to.
To link a product to a button, it must have the barcode set exactly to the name of the button (with the exception of the Lottery and Paypoint "products" which have their barcodes set in the configuration). To link a Hotkey panel to a button, it must have the same name as the button.
