Node Preferences - Touch Menu - Touch POS Options
The RP Prism Touch POS feature provides retailers in high-volume, fast paced environments with an efficient way to service customers. RP Prism Touch Menus are programmable menu buttons that provide fast one-touch item selection at point of sale, increasing the speed of your transactions, leading to more efficient point of sale operations.
When creating buttons, you see exactly how they will appear on the screen. Each button can be designed with a unique label, picture, and/or color.
Basic Steps for Touch Menus
- Plan the number of menus and buttons that are needed.
- Create menus for each subsidiary (Preferences & Settings > Touch Menu > Menu Designer).
- Edit menus by adding item buttons and/or navigation buttons (Preferences & Settings > Touch Menu > Menu Designer).
- Assign the menu you want to be the first (default) menu users see when they access Touch Menus.
