Activate a New Menu or Panel

Menus are created in Menu Designer and then appear in the list of available menu sets in Store Manager, where they are selected for use in Terminal. Use the procedures below to select the panels (or screens) in each menu that will appear in Terminal. If you receive a menu via email or disc, you will need to load it before it will be available for selection in Store Manager (see Load a Menu File).

Click the links below to see instructions for activating a new menu, or changing individual panels in a menu.

To Activate a New Menu

1.Go to Settings>Menu> Menus. icon_menuSets

Warning HM

Caution Do not switch menus during the business day. Deactivating menus may cause errors in Terminal. Switch menus only after running day end, or before making sales the next day.

2.In the Available pane, expand the menu files to show panels by clicking the small arrow beside the menu name.

3.Clear all currently selected panels and their associated Price Group and Preferred Panel settings by clicking the Clear All button below the Available pane (these settings are also cleared when all menu panels in a menu set are de-selected).

4.Locate the new menu or menus you want to use, and click the boxes beside all the panels you want to display in Terminal. The menu and panel names are added to the Selected pane.

Note HM

Note If you do not see the menu file you want to use listed in the Available area, see Load A Menu File for the instructions on how to load an external menu file.

Warning HM

Caution Using panels from more than one menu at a time is possible, but will cause errors if the menus contain the same PLUs or Coupon IDs.
