Remarks on the Program Function
By use of this program, you can maintain the data for the function key table, i.e. create new data records, modify or delete existing data. You can also view already existing data for information purposes.
In this table, the keyboard events for the function keys are assigned to the function keys F1 to F12 of the standard PC keyboard, depending on the current terminal state.
The assignment of this table to a particular Terminal allows operation of the terminal application via the function keys of the standard PC keyboard.
Note:
Please note that if the PC keyboard is used at the
terminal, a device of the type PC Terminal Keyboard
with an appropriate Keyboard for the positions of
the function keys has to be configured in the system.
Please note that the alignment of the keys on the PC terminal keyboard (rows and columns) differs from that of a terminal keyboard. Information on the positions can be found in the description PC Terminal Keyboard Map.

Remarks on the Input Fields
This paragraph will provide a short overview over the options available for updating these basic data
Just like in almost any other program:
- The input mask may be different in your MICROS Retail OSCAR POS program depending on the set-up of the application. In some cases some data fields may be missing.
- Some input fields may contain default values or defined selection options; these cannot be updated.
- The input mask contains some fields that require an entry and others in which entries are optional.
- If the data record is updated via multi-page input masks, go to the dialog window by clicking on the appropriate buttons with <Mouse key 1>.
- The same procedure applies to call up another update program from this program.
- In some cases you may find that so-called "Switches" which - depending on the default - can be activated or deactivated with <Mouse key 1>. Activated switches are identified by their dark color, deactivated switches are lighter-colored.
