Configuring Screen Look Ups for Menu Items

  1. Select the Enterprise, property, revenue center, or zone, click Descriptors, and then click Menu Item.
  2. Insert a new record, enter a name for the menu item screen look up (for example, Breakfast) in the Record Name field, and then click OK.
  3. Repeat Step 2 to add more SLUs, and then click Save.
  4. Select the Enterprise, property, revenue center, or zone, click Configuration, and then click Menu Item Maintenance.
  5. Double-click a menu item, and then click General.
  6. Select the relevant SLU from the Touchscreen Properties section.
  7. (Optional) Select a Mobile MICROS SLU key for the definition.

    When the operator presses a SLU button on the Mobile MICROS device, all menu items belonging to that SLU appear. Do not link more than 1,024 menu items to a single MMH SLU.

  8. (Optional) Enter a SLU Sort Priority (between 1-99) for the menu item.

    Use this field when Page Design Layout option, Use Sort Priority, is enabled from the Screen Lookup settings. When configured, menu items with Sort Priority 1 appear on the screen first, followed by menu items with Sort priority 2, and so on up to Sort Priority 99, and then finally Sort Priority 0 items.

  9. Repeat Steps 5 through 8 for all menu items to appear on screen lookups.
  10. Select the Enterprise, property, revenue center, or zone, click Configuration, and then click Page Design.
  11. Double-click the transaction page on which you want the screen look up to appear on the workstation.
  12. Click Other in the Page Design toolbar, and then click Sales SLU.
  13. Select Menu Item from the Type drop-down list, select SLU as the Property, and then select the menu item screen lookup as the Value.

    1. Select Dynamic SLU as the Property, and then select a menu item screen look up group as the SLU Value.

    4. Select the Menu Item Display Name, and then click Save.
    5. Insert buttons for each screen look up that you added to the Dynamic SLU.

      For example, if you added five screen look up groups to the Dynamic SLU, insert five buttons.

    6. Select Function from the Type drop-down list, and then select Visual State from the Function list.
    7. In the Arguments field, enter the Visual State value that you assigned to a screen look up group in Step 14-b.
