This article covers a step-by-step guide to creating KeyLists in BackOffice.

KeyLists are created within BackOffice to Group together different  Products  that do not necessarily have any common features.

A KeyList can be used in a number of ways, some of which may include: Grouping together a select assortment of Products within a Product Group; Grouping together the same Sizes of Products to display together; Grouping together menu items which are featured together such as Daily Specials or Seasonal Favorites; Grouping together any Products that are not grouped together within the BackOffice Product List.

Prerequisites 

  • To access KeyMap features, the applicable Operator Privileges will need to be enabled 
    • Operator Maintenance 'Maintenance' Tab
      • Products: "Maintain Keymap Settings" Flag

  • To Create a Keylist, log into the BackOffice and follow the steps:
    1. From the Maintenance menu, select  Product KeyMaps
    2. Click on the View/Edit KeyLists button in the Header Section



    • This will open a new window titled KeyList Names
    • Click the Add A New KeyList button in the Header Section



    • A prompt will appear asking to Enter the Name of the KeyList 


    • Enter the KeyList Name, and Click on the OK button
