To use new functions or where a configuration requires a button on the POS buttons are added in Theme Modelling. Depending on where you want the button to be placed there are two routes that can be taken, this page details how buttons can be added to a root (home screen) or a local panel. For information on adding a button to a shared or variation panel click here.
