36 Updating POS Client Configuration

You can establish the frequency with which database synchronization jobs run on the workstations. By default, the workstations and Kitchen Display System (KDS) Controllers wait 30 minutes to retrieve the latest updates from the database.

The Database Update Frequency setting exists in three EMC modules:
  • Property Parameters

  • Workstations

  • KDS Controller

The Workstations module setting or KDS Controller module setting takes precedence over the Property Parameters setting. If the workstation’s Database Update Frequency setting is greater than the Property Parameters setting, the highest configured value within the entire Workstations module for the property is used for the purge jobs event scheduling calculation.
