Remarks on program function

The data of an application profile can be updated, i.e. programmed, changed or cleared, with this program. Data which has already been stored can also be displayed for information.

This program is reached via Terminal - Terminal type - Profile.

The MICROS Retail OSCAR POS application allows the user to create profiles for individual application programs in addition to the profile for ECR functions on operator and POS type level and the profile for appl. group. The access rights of operators in individual update programs are defined in this profile.

Procedure:

Call up program Profile text and define the framework for a profile (profile no., profile name) and then define the profile itself by creating an application profile to control the access rights to individual update programs.
Use Appl.prof. addition in update program Application profile add. if certain objects (buttons, entry fields, etc.) are to be blocked or removed for the update programs or to make them inaccessible to an operator.

The graphics Profile Organisation show the various restrictions and options which are available for profiles and access limitations.

Remarks on data fields

The following description deals with all available options for update of this basic data.

As with nearly all programs the following also applies here:

The entry mask in your MICROS Retail OSCAR POS program may differ for this program. Some data fields may be missing.
There may be defaults or firmly defined selection options for some data fields. These cannot be updated in the current program.
Fields with enforced entry defined are to be found in the entry masks as are fields where entry is optional.
If the data record is updated over several pages of entry masks, the dialog window is reached by clicking onto the appropriate button with <Mouse key 1>.
The same procedure also applies to call up of another update program from this program.
In some cases you may find so-called "Switches" which are activated or deactivated by the user with <Mouse key 1>, depending on the setting. Activated switches have a dark top, deactivated switches are lighter.

Profile no.

Entry range permitted: numeric 0 - 999

Enter a free no. in the key fields if a new profile is to be created.

If changes are to be made or if the profile is to be cleared, call up the data record from entry of the appropriate no. in the key fields or use Search to find the appropriate data record.

Name

Entry range permitted: alphanumeric max. 20 pos.

Enter the name of the update program to which the new profile is to be linked or use Search if the name is not known.

Example:
An application profile preventing access by the operator to article prices and sales data in the program Articles is required.

Select the name of the update program "Article" and store the application profile.
Change to "Appl.profile add." in the update program Application profile add..
Select the name of form "Item" (=Item) in entry field Frame name and the name of button "Add1Article" (=Sale) in entry field Field name.
Select "Dim" in field Status to dim the button Sales in the update program mask or select status "Off " to clear this button from the article update mask.
Repeat for the button "AddListItemArticle" (=Prices) to delete this button from the article update mask.

Please note:
Buttons controlled by the program in the update masks should always show the status "Off" so that they are not accessible to the operator.
Use the button Display mask to view the changes.

With this option certain programs can be faded out of the menu structure of the dispatcher for operators.

Note:
Please note that when this option is deactivated for a specific application program only the display of the program name is suppressed. Access to this program via the button in other programs is still possible for an operator with this profile as long as option "Program start" is active.

The documentation for the program Dispatcher profile describes how to adjust the buttons individually for the program dispatcher on the operator levels.

PLU page only

Button active: The screen pages for program "Touch page" without PLU keys cannot be updated.

The option "PLU page“ must be activated for touch pages with PLU preset keys in program "Touch page" to ensure that only these pages can be updated by an operator with the appropriate profile.
