Back Office - How To
This outlines the How To Link A Keyboard Layout.
Subjects? ▲ ▼
About ▲ ▼
IMPORTANT
Linking is NOT adding. That is, it is not a new Layout but an already existing Layout which can be linked to one or more Keyboards at any one time. It is not unique to one Keyboard. This in turn means any changes made to the Linked Layout will affect all Keyboards that currently have that Layout linked.
Linking a Keyboard Layout is the similar to adding a Layout, however instead of it being a new Layout that needs to be configured, it is instead linking (adding) a Layout that already exists and is configured for another Keyboard.
What Is Required? ▲ ▼
- More than one Keyboard must already exist with Layouts configured.
When Is It Used? ▲ ▼
Used when a Keyboard Layout from another Keyboard is to be linked (added) to the Keyboard that is currently open in the Keyboards screen. This is usually needed when there is a need for Touch operators to be able to access a Layout that exists on another Keyboard, to which they currently do not have access to.
How To? ▲ ▼
How To Link A Keyboard Layout? ▲ ▼
In Back Office, do as follows:
-
Select the Keyboards option in the Touch Settings menu, to open the Keyboards screen.
- Select the Keyboards menu in the Toolbar.
- Select the Open Keyboard option in the footer section, to open the Touch Keyboards screen.
- Select the Keyboard to which a Layout is to be linked.
- Select the Keyboards menu option in the Touch Settings menu.
- Select the Keyboards menu in the Toolbar.
- Select the Open Keyboard option to select a Keyboard from the Touch Keyboards screen, to which a Layout is to be linked.
- Once the Keyboard is displayed, select the Link a Layout option from the Layout menu to open the Touch Layouts screen. The Touch Layouts screen will display all the Layouts that are available to be linked. That is, Layouts that are linked to other Keyboards but NOT linked to the Keyboard that is currently open.
- Select the Layout to be linked.
- Once linked, the Layout will be displayed in the Layout section of the screen.
- Consider adding one or more Layout POS Keys to the existing Layouts to link to the newly linked Layout and ensure Touch operators can navigate to it. Refer HERE for more information.
- Save the changes.
- Send a Full Update to the Touch terminals requiring the linked Layout.
- Once the update has been applied to the relevant Touch terminals, the linked Layout will be available to Touch operators.
