Example KeyMaps

• In this example, the KeyMap displays five (5) different Sizes for each of six (6) different draft beers
• This could be a useful KeyMap in a KeySet and quite efficient if the business sells a high volume of these specific Sizes of Products
• There are zero prompts in order to ring in a sale of one these Product/Size combinations in this case, which will (arguably) speed up transaction time

• Below is an example of a KeyMap with a combination of the three (3) different Key Types
  • This KeyMap has been color-coded to see the different Products, Groups, and KeyLists 
  • Some Products have essentially been doubled or tripled; this has been done to demonstrate the different button strengths
  • In this KeyMap, for all Products that have Size options, the Operator will be prompted to select a Size once the Product Key has been selected

• Operators can copy the color from one key to another by Dragging and Dropping (using the Right mouse button)
• It will duplicate the ForeColour and Back Colour from the original
