Use Workstation Groups to customize Features for Select Registers
You can assign subsets of your total NetSuite Point of Sale (NSPOS) registers to unique groups and then modify those groups to use different logos, button layouts, or other features unique to a portion of your business. For example, you can use one logo for your large retail locations and use another for your smaller outlets. Other uses are setting up unique tender rules and permissions to areas within the application.
To configure your registers to use a workstation group, first create an RA-WorkstationGroup record in NetSuite. Then edit the desired register RA-Workstation records to select the group using the Workstation Type list. You only need to modify workstation records that will use the group.
Next, modify the layout or other features from a single register that is assigned to the group. The changes will replicate to all other registers in the group. You will need to exit and restart NetSuite POS on each grouped register for the changes to take effect.

-
Log in to NetSuite as an administrator.
