Configuring Macros

A macro is a button that, when pressed, executes a series of commands. Macros save time when workstation operators frequently enter certain sequences or keystrokes. You can set macros to include menu items, service charges, discounts, tenders, function keys, alphanumeric keys, or a link to another macro.

Simphony allows a maximum of 255 macros in one revenue center. You can set each macro to include up to 16 steps (keys), and you can link up to 20 macros together.
