Assigning layouts in configuration

In order for layouts to be assignable they have to be both created and published.

Assigning main layouts

To configure the layout, add the (Layout) property to a POS configuration scope, then assign each of the three within appropriate layouts from the drop-down list. Only layouts that have previously been published are available.

• JournalOps: Points to the layout initiated when a sale line is clicked.

• QuickMenu: Points to the layout initiated when the bottom right Centara logo button is clicked.

• Transaction: Point to the main initial layout that is shown when the operator has signed on.

If the Layout component is not added, default values; journalmenu, quickmenu and initialmenu are used as menus for the three containers above, respectively. All those menus are created by Creating initial layouts.

Assigning layouts to roles

In the case of role based layouts, their layout assignment only needs to be done once in the POS configuration. Then that layout will appear for each layout component specified for that role.

• Sales menu role

  • Will contain the menu with the sale buttons (as mentioned above)

• Tendering (action) menu role

  • Will contain a menu with the payment buttons (as mentioned above)

• Journal menu role

  • Will contain a menu with actions that operate on a selected journal line(s) (as mentioned above)

• Quick menu role

  • Will contain a menu with various non-sale related operations (as mentioned above).

This shows where each role based sub-layout will appear

The (Menu selection) property is located in the list of Workstation properties and must be added somewhere within POS configuration scope. Layouts must then be assigned to each of the layout roles.

Those layouts will need to be both created and published in order to be made available in the drop-down list.
