      This article covers how to set up a Workstation Door Entry Terminal in BackOffice. A Door Entry Terminal is a Till that has no Till functionality; the terminal can be configured in a monitor as well. The monitor will display a slideshow of the photos and videos in the Media zipfile when waiting for members to swipe their card.

      When the customer or member swipes, a photo or message will be displayed  and any prize promotions that apply will be displayed and awarded. Here, tickets can also be printed from an attached printer or another printer (barrel printer).

      Prerequisites 

      • To access Door Entry Terminal Settings, the applicable Operator Privileges   will need to be enabled 
        • Operator Maintenance 'General' Tab
          • System Setup: "Access Venue, Stores & Tills" Flag
          • System Setup: "Maintain Venue, Stores & Tills" Flag

      Device Setup

      • Navigate through Venue, Stores & Tills and highlight the new Door Entry Terminal
      • This will display a row of icons in the header as shown below
      • Click on the 'Add New Device' to add a device for the terminal

      Device Options

      • Stop Show on Swipe

      • Media Zipname
        • This should be a Zipfile in the Severs Shared Data Directory

          • bmp
          • avi
          • wmv(preferred)
        • If a directory is specified in the filename, the file will NOT be sent to the Till; it is expected that same directory can be accessed directly by the Terminal (either manually maintained or a network shared)
        • The file will be sent to the Till and extracted into the Till's Local Data Directory
        • This is based on the File Date and if the zip file setup name or file date has not changed since the last download; the file will not re-sent
