8 | Editing KeyMap Buttons

This article covers a step-by-step guide to editing various KeyMap Buttons in BackOffice.

KeyMaps can contain three (3) different types of buttons - Product, Group, or KeyList.

A Product Button will assign a Single Product to the Button. Using this Button Type, when that Button is selected at the SmartPOS Workstation the Single Product assigned to the Button is automatically rang up.

A Group Button will assign an entire Product Group to the Button. Using this Button Type, when that Button is selected at the SmartPOS Workstation, the screen will then prompt the Operator Maintenance Header to a sub-screen of all the Products contained in that Group. If there are layers of Groups within the main Product Group, the Operator will be prompted to select through each sub-group until they reach the Single Product selection. The Operator will then select the Single Product from within the Product Group.

A KeyList Button will assign an entire KeyList to the Button. Using this Button Type, when that Button is selected at the SmartPOS Workstation, the screen will then prompt the Operator to a sub-screen of all the Products contained in that KeyList. The distinct difference between this and a Group button is that the Group button groups together Products that are in the same Product Group in your BackOffice Product List, while a KeyList is created specifically in BackOffice and can contain any Products that you would like to group together.
