Remarks on the Program Function

While you define the table frame via the Keyboard Table, you embed the items – and therefore (indirectly) the item preset keys – in the table in this window.

A general description of the procedure and the interaction of the involved programs can be found in the chapter Item Preset Keys – Keyboard Tables and Input Levels.

Remarks on the Input Fields

In the following description, all available options provided for the maintenance of these basic data will be explained.

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.

Position no.

The position number contains the four input levels. The number must be the same one you have entered or will enter in the field Event Data in the window Keys. When you work with item preset key tables, do not enter the item number in the field Event Data.

The chapter Item Preset Keys – Keyboard Tables and Input Levels provides information on the position number and examples with the various input options.

---

Normal preset

Enter the number of the item which is to be booked by default after pressing the item preset key.

You can enter the item number directly in the table. If you do not know the number, you can also select the item via the Search Function. By clicking on the right button, you enter the maintenance window Item.

---

Shift first

Here you define the item of the input level 1. You enter the number of the item which is to be booked after pressing the Shift key (once) and then the item preset key.

You can enter the item number directly in the table. If you do not know the number, you can also select the item via the Search Function. By clicking on the right button, you enter the maintenance window Item.

---

Shift twice

Here you define the item of the input level 2. You enter the number of the item which is to be booked after pressing the Shift key (twice) and then the item preset key.

This applies, too, if you work with more than one Shift key (cp. Item Preset Keys – Keyboard Tables and Input Levels) and enter the second input level directly by pressing a key.

---

Shift third

Here you define the item of the input level 3. You enter the number of the item which is to be booked after pressing the Shift key (three times) and then the item preset key.

This applies, too, if you work with more than one Shift key (cp. Item Preset Keys – Keyboard Tables and Input Levels) and enter the third input level directly by pressing a key.
