Remarks on the Program Function

By use of this program you can update the data for a user network, i.e. insert new records, edit and delete the existing ones. You can also display the data on the screen for enquiry only.

The MICROS Retail OSCAR POS system is operated under a user network, in which the entire configuration of hardware and software is defined and illustrated. In the system, there is one user network only and it is at the top of the entire system hierarchy.

A central Installation where all the hardware and software of a local installation have to be defined has to be assigned to the user network.

In the system, a total of 9998 sub-installations can be defined and their data can be administered from the head office.

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.
