Focus End User Configuration

Configuration Techniques

Configuration of the Focus system to meet end-user operational requirements is simple and the processes used are consistent throughout all Modules. The following information is provided to orient the operator in the basic techniques that are recommended.

With very few exceptions, when a touch screen is provided, all fields in all Modules may be accessed by touch. When configuring the system areas of Setup, Employee and Canvas, however, it is recommended that both a mouse and a keyboard are available. A pop-out keyboard on screen is provided in all areas of the Point of Sale where alphanumeric input is required.

Most Focus entities are pre-configured to a set number; there is no adding or deleting except for Employees, Menu Items, Inventory Items and Customers.
