Sevenrooms Settings Screen ▲ ▼
Accessed from Interface List menu option in Terminal Settings.
- Master - Select to ensure that this Touch Master terminal is the ONLY one designated as the SevenRooms Master.
RECOMMENDED
It is strongly recommended to designate ONLY ONE Master Touch terminal in a Venue as the SevenRooms Master. This is done by making sure the above Master option is selected for that designated terminal.
Notes...
Given SevenRooms can be accessed from multiple Locations, ONLY one Touch terminal (in the Venue) can be designated as the SevenRooms Master at any one time. This is to ensure that only one Table Tracking database is used by SevenRooms. If NO Touch terminal is designated as the Master, then the Master terminal will be use by default. If there is more than one Touch Master terminal in a Venue, then this could cause potential problems. Therefore, it is strongly advised to follow the recommendation above.
