Configuring Screen Look Ups for Menu Items

  1. In the EMC, select the Enterprise, property, revenue center, or zone, click Descriptors and Menu Item.
  2. Enter names for menu item screen look up groups (for example, breakfast, lunch, and dinner) in the Text column, and click Save.
  3. Select the Enterprise, property, revenue center, or zone, click Configuration and Menu Item Maintenance.
  4. Double-click a menu item and click General.
  5. Select the relevant SLU group in the Touchscreen Properties section.
  6. (Optional) Enter a SLU Sort Priority for the menu item.
  7. Repeat Steps 4 and 5 for all menu items that you want to appear on screen lookups.
  8. Select the Enterprise, property, revenue center, or zone, click Configuration and Page Design.
  9. Double-click the transaction page on which you want the screen look up to appear on the workstation.
  10. Click Other in the Page Design toolbar and click Sales SLU.
  11. Select Menu Item as the Type, SLU as the Property, and the menu item screen lookup group as the Value.
  12. Select the Menu Item Display Name and click Save.
  13. If the revenue center uses hand held point-of-sale (POS) devices:
    1. Select Dynamic SLU as the Property, and select a menu item screen look up group as the SLU Value.
    2. Enter a non-zero value for the Visual State(s).

    4. Select the Menu Item Display Name and click Save.
    5. Insert buttons for each screen look up that you added to the Dynamic SLU. For example, if you added five screen look up groups to the Dynamic SLU, insert five buttons.
    6. Select Function as the Type, and select Visual State from the function list.
    7. Enter a Visual State value that you assigned to a screen look up group in Step 13-b in the Arguments field.
    8. Click Save.
