Remarks on program function

The data for "Protected fields" can be updated, i.e. programmed, changed or cleared, with this program. Data which has already been stored can be displayed for information

The basic data modified at head office (main installation) is transferred to the linked branches (sub-installations) with function Update installations. In some special cases, overwriting of basic data which exists in the branches is not advisable. Therefore, certain fields of a data record can be protected against overwriting with this program.

Example:
Dedicated preset keys are to be programmed for certain branches in a large installation with numerous sub-installations (branches). These are only applicable in the specified branches and they should not be overwritten by an update. The fields of data record "KeybKey" should be protected as follows:

Class = KeybKey (keys)
Field name = AsciiData (Ascii pos.)
Compare field name = (EventName)
Compare text = (LFW)
Local update = 1 (=yes) / 0 (=no)

The entries made in this example are interpreted as follows:
In Class "KeybKey" field "Ascii" is to be protected if the event name is LFW. In this case, the event LFW (local preset key) should be used for article keys instead of key event FW (preset).

The following additional entries should be made if all fields of a local preset key are to be protected against overwriting.

Class = KeybKey (keys)
Field name = Column
Compare field name = (EventName)
Compare text = (LFW)
Local update = 1 (=yes) / 0 (=no)

Class = KeybKey (keys)
Field name = EventData
Compare field name = (EventName)
Compare text = (LFW)
Local update = 1 (=yes) / 0 (=no)

Class = KeybKey (keys)
Field name = EventName
Compare field name = (EventName)
Compare text = (LFW)
Local update = 1 (=yes) / 0 (=no)

Class = KeybKey (keys)
Field name = KeyboardNr
Compare field name = (EventName)
Compare text = (LFW)
Local update = 1 (=yes) / 0 (=no)

Class = KeybKey (keys)
Field name = Row
Compare field name = (EventName)
Compare text = (LFW)
Local update = 1 (=yes) / 0 (=no)

Remarks on data fields

The following program 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 for this program may differ in your MICROS Retail OSCAR POS 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.
