    Table 3-1 General Workstation Settings

    Field Description

    Type

    Select the type of workstation from the drop-down list:
    • Mobile MICROS – Mobile devices

    • Workstation Client – Workstations, virtual machines, and Android tablets.

    • POSAPI Client – Simphony Transaction Services

    • MICROS Tablet Client – Oracle MICROS Tablet E-Series

    Language

    Select the default language of the workstation. This is the language that appears on the workstation’s Sign In screen. If an employee has a different language set, the employee sees another language after signing in to the workstation.

    Resolution Cols

    Enter the number of Resolution Columns for the workstation’s display. This number should correspond to one of the resolutions set in the workstation’s .INI file, or leave it at 0 (zero) as a default.

    Resolution Rows

    Enter the number of Resolution Rows for the workstation’s display. This number should correspond to one of the resolutions set in the workstation’s .INI file, or leave it at 0 (zero) as a default.

    Log Verbosity

    Select the logging verbosity for the workstation. For example, select 0 (zero) for minimal logging. Higher numbers cause the workstation’s disk or flash drive to fill more quickly.

    (Optional) Workstation Class

    Select a Workstation Class to allow similar workstations to be grouped together and share certain page configuration settings.

    Database Update Frequency

    Enter the number of seconds the workstation waits to retrieve the latest updates from the database. The default value is 60 seconds.

    The value in this field overrides the Property Parameter’s Database Update Frequency setting.

    Check Inactivity Timeout

    Enter the number of seconds that the workstation waits before showing a message (Do you need more time?), prompting the workstation operator to cancel the transaction. When you enter 0 (zero), the message does not appear.

    When you select Enable Follow Me in the RVC Parameters module, the check is automatically suspended rather than cancelled.

    Check Inactivity Dialog Timeout

    Enter the number of seconds that the workstation shows the Inactivity dialog before automatically cancelling the transaction. This field is dimmed when you set the Check Inactivity Timeout value to 0 (zero).

    Report Timeout

    Enter the number of seconds the workstation waits to retrieve reporting information before failing.

    Address / Host Name

    Enter the IP address or host name of the Service Host where the workstation application runs.

  5. Click the Revenue Centers tab.
  6. Select the revenue centers for the workstation. You must select at least one revenue center.
  7. Click Save.
