What Is It?      ▲ ▼

It is used to create/design/maintain Keyboards for use in conjunction with Swiftpos Touch. This includes Keyboards, Layouts and POS Keys

 

What To Consider?      ▲ ▼

•  It is NOT recommended to assign a Product to the bottom right-hand POS Key on a Keyboard Layout. This is because this POS Key is used by the Post Linking Layout Method to display a NEXT POS key to allow Clerks/Staff Members to proceed to the next Layout when using Layout Linking. 
• When setting up security for Order Kiosks, ensure all the Clerk/Staff Groups have been disabled to ensure customers do not have unauthorised access to Swiftpos features/functions.
• To ensure changes to Security are activated in Touch, make sure a Full Update is sent to all Swiftpos Touch terminals.
• Fixed Keys are those POS Keys that will appear and function the same for all the Layouts of a Keyboard.
• Adding many Layouts to a Keyboard will impact on the time it takes to load Keyboards in Touch.
• It is recommended that you remove any sample Keyboards from the initial installation if they are not being used.
• If the command line switch /L is being used to set the screen position/size of the Touch screen when invoking Touch, then consideration will need to be given to the font size being used for POS Key Captions, the display of Product Prices and the Numeric KeyPads.
• POS Key Caption suggestions.

 

POS Key Caption Suggestions?      ▲ ▼

• When using images to be displayed on POS Keys it is recommended to use .PNG graphic files with a transparent background. This then enables the setting of the background colour of the POS Keys. For example:
  
  

• Captions can be formatted to be positioned either at the top or bottom of the POS Key. This allows the captions to be positioned so that they do not have to overlay an image. To do this use the Text Align option.

 

• Captions can also be split over two lines. To do this use the Enter/Return (<CR> Carriage Return) key rather than inserting spaces, to create a new line. For example:
