What Is It?      ▲ ▼

Print Groups are usually created to group Items/Products together to ensure they are displayed/printed together as a group. For example, the typical Print Group Headings created for a Swiftpos install could be:

• BARISTA
• BAR
• CAKES & TREATS
• ENTREES
• MAINS
• DESSERTS

What To Consider?      ▲ ▼

• Item/Products are associated with a Print Group depending on the Category they are assigned to. Refer HERE for more information.
•  The order in which the Print Groups Headings are listed in the Print Groups screen when the Call Away feature is used, will depend on the Print Group # they are allocated in the Print Groups Headings screen below. The Print Groups are listed in order in ascending order of the Print Group #. Refer HERE for examples.
