      17 | "Graphical Table Alpha" Sub-Function

      This article outlines the "Graphical Table Alpha" Sub-Function, how it is configured in BackOffice, and how it can be used in SmartPOS. The "Graphical Table Alpha" Sub-Function displays the Graphical Map that is currently set for the Workstation. However, if no Graphical Table Map is selected, then the Table Open List will be displayed instead. This Function works the same as the "Graphical Table" Sub-Function but, when creating new Tables, uses alphanumeric Table Numbers.
