Configuring Touchscreen Buttons for Order Type Selection

You need to configure buttons for workstation operators to change the order type on the workstation.

1. Select the Enterprise, property, revenue center, or zone, click Configuration, and then click Page Design.
2. Open the page on which to place the order type buttons, and then on the Edit tab, select the page area in which to define the buttons.
3. Click Button.
4. To configure a menu item order type button:
   1. On the General subtab, select Menu Item Order Type from the Type drop-down list
   2. Click the black arrow directly beneath the Type drop-down list, select an order type from the list, and then click OK.
5. To configure a transaction order type button:
   1. On the General subtab, select Transaction Order Type from the Type drop-down list
   2. Click the black arrow directly beneath the Type drop-down list, select an order type from the list, and then click OK.
6. To configure a check order type button:
   1. On the General subtab, select Order Type from the Type drop-down list
   2. Click the black arrow directly beneath the Type drop-down list, select an order type from the list, and then click OK.
7. Enter a Legend for the button, and then position and size the button on the page.
8. Click Save.
9. Repeat Steps 3 through 8 to configure more order type buttons.

   Note:

   It is recommended to assign a default order type to workstations in the Workstations module under the Transactions tab. However, if no default order type is assigned there, you can add an argument to a pickup check button which is configured in the Page Design module.

   Here is an example of a pickup next check button, where an entry has been made in the Arguments field. This entry causes checks to default to order type 3 (which represents a Take Out order type in this example). You can find an order type’s object number in the Order Type Parameters module under the # symbol column. Argument entries override the default order type assigned in the Workstations module.

   Here’s a listing of the supported order type Arguments entries:

   Argument Text	Description
   Automatic	This entry is case-sensitive. You must capitalize the letter A (in Automatic) for the argument to work.
   ordertype: <Object number>	This entry is not case-sensitive. Enter the desired order type’s object number as listed in the Order Type Parameters module. The workstation uses the object number you enter and ignores the default order type assigned in the Workstations module.
