POS Menus

To open a Menu List for a profile do the following:

Navigate LS Retail - Point of Sale - Design, Data - Menu Profiles, and select the action Menu List.

Navigate LS Retail - Point of Sale - Design, Data - Menu Profiles, open a profile, and select action menu List.

LS Retail - Point of Sale - Design - Data - Menus.

Note: The third option displays a list of all menus for all profiles, while the other options list up all menus for the selected profile.

Example of a Menu List:

Actions for a Menu Item:

The Create New From action copies a Menu to another Menu, either to the same Menu Profile or another Menu Profile within the company.

The Where Used action displays all the actions the selected menu is used in. There can be six different setups. The systems automatically activates the action depending on the type of the selected line.

Note: It is possible to edit the data that Where Used lists up by selecting the line and using the active action item for this line type.

Warning: It is not possible to rename a Menu item. This is due to technical reasons; a Menu item with the same name can exists in many Menu Profiles.

Tip: To change the Menu ID for a menu, you need to copy the menu to the new Menu ID and then delete the original Menu ID.

A Few Points About Menus:

Each Menu Profile has its Menu list; that is, different menus exist in different Menu Profiles.
When one Menu ID exists in Menu Profiles, it does not mean that it is the same menu, the menu lines and settings can be different between Menu IDs.
Menus, which are identical for all profiles, should be in Menu Profile ##DEFAULT and only exists in Menu Profile ##DEFAULT.
Menu Profile ##DEFAULT should include all Menus that are a base for the company, that is the menus that are identical to all Menu Profiles.
When a Menu has some specialty for a setup, it should be copied in a Menu Profile and changed there.

These events include Button Press events, Row Selection event, and Input events from devices like MSR and Scanner etc. The specified codeunit will get a chance to process the event and stop it (mark as processed) before the System will process it.
