Conditional Security
Conditional security can be applied to buttons to control their behaviour based on whether a bill has been printed or not.
Follow these steps to enable conditional security:
Print Bill First
-
Set the check box for Use Conditional Security
-
Ensure Default is selected from the drop down
-
Deselect Job Roles that are not able to perform the function or sell a selected product until the bill is printed
The POS operator who's role is not selected will be prompted to print the bill before being able to use this function or product.
Apply After First Bill Print
-
Set the check box for Use Conditional Security
-
Ensure After the first bill print is selected from the drop down
-
Deselect Job Roles that are not able to perform the function or sell a selected product until the bill is printed
When using this option ensure the 'Default' job roles are set to enabled otherwise POS operators will not be able to use the function or product
The POS operator who's role is not selected will be able to use the function or product but after the first bill print the button will be locked with security applied
Witness Required
Selecting the Witness Required enables any selected job roles to perform a given function but will require another person with the same available jobs to witness the function being completed.
