The following program
description deals with the following:
The data for the
advertising parameters can be updated in this program, i.e. new texts
programmed, existing ones modified or cancelled. Data stored can also be
displayed for information purposes.
The advertising parameter
and the link to a terminal are used to define any text which you require
to run through the customer display. This text can contain information on an
advertising campaign or can be used to inform the customer about other special
offers. The FGL programs can also be used to send special information such as
date, time to the customer display. The information is shown automatically
after the operator has signed off at the terminal or after a defined waiting
period after a receipt has been finalised if the terminal is programmed for
itemisation mode. The text stops immediately after the first article of a new
receipt has been recorded.
Note!
If a Media customer display is set up instead of a customer display, the advertising parameters
must be set to define the time for display of the receipt window. Only the
entry in field "Time out [s]" for the media customer display will be
evaluated. The advertising texts for this case are stored in program System
-> User interface -> Playlist -> Text
position.
All options available for
the update of this basic data are described below.
The following also applies
to this program:
Entry range permitted:
numeric, 1 - 9999
Enter the number of the
company for which advertising parameter is to be processed.
Changes or clear operations
are completed after entering the data record no. in the key fields. The
operator can also search for the data record with Search.
Entry range permitted:
numeric, 1 - 99999
This field is provided for
entry of the store no. for which the advertising parameters are to be
processed.
Changes or clear operations
are completed after entering the data record no. in the key fields. The
operator can also search for the data record with the Search.
Entry range permitted:
numeric, 1 - 9999
This field is provided for
entry of the number of the advertising parameter which is to be processed or
for entry of a free number if a new data record is to be programmed.
Changes or clear operations
are completed after entering the data record no. in the key fields. The
operator can also search for the data record with the Search
function.
Entry range permitted:
alphanumeric, max. 20 pos.
Enter a description for
this advertising parameter.
Entry range permitted:
numeric, 1 – 9999 seconds
Enter the number of seconds
the system should wait before the advertising text appears in the customer
display.
The time set here only
applies when the terminal is programmed for itemisation and if an advertising
text is to be shown after finalisation of a receipt and before itemisation of a
new receipt begins.
Advertising texts also
appear on the terminal immediately after sign-off of the operator.
Note!
If a media customer display is
configured, only the entry in this field will be evaluated to define the time
the receipt window is displayed. The advertising text which is shown in the
media customer displayer as a running band must in such a case be stored in
program System -> User interface -> Playlist -> Text
position.
Entry range permitted:
decimal, max. 20 pos. with max. 2 decimal places
Enter a value in
milliseconds in this field to define the speed the text runs through the
display.
Entry range permitted:
numeric, 1 - 1 65535
Enter the text group no. in
which the advertising texts for the customer display are stored.
The search function can be
used to find the appropriate data record.
The texts for the various
advertising texts are updated with program Text groups. The text group for
advertising texts must be linked to Advertise texts (text group 4200 to
4299).
Entry range permitted:
alphanumeric, max. 20 pos.
Enter the name of a valid
FGL program in this field.
The FGL program supports
both advertising texts and special information on the customer display. The FGL
programs can include functions which control both lines of a customer display.
The name of the function is "LineX", X = the number of the line in
the customer display. The function starts up after the Time out defined has
elapsed. The advertising text defined in the text group will then be
suppressed.
In the example below
the date and time are to be shown in the second line of the customer display:
FUNCTION Line2 columns
BEGIN
LET anzDate = 11
LET anzTime = 8
LET space = ''
FOR i = 1 TO (columns - anzDate - anzTime)
LET space = space + ' '
LET date = NEW 'FglDate'
LET time = NEW 'FglTime'
CALL date.setToday
CALL time.setNow
PRINT date , space, time
END
