Config Sets
Config sets offer additional settings and controls that define the behaviour of point of sale terminals. Depending on the size and complexity of your organisation, you may have multiple config sets tailored to different needs, while smaller operators may find that just one or two are sufficient. Some settings can be enabled and will take effect immediately, whereas others may require further setup and configuration across the platform.
Additional other settings related to a selected config set are also defined within this section.
Config sets are assigned to terminals in Theme Modelling → Site Setup → Devices → Terminal Properties
