Setting Up EPad Preferences by Branch

After defining host EPad preferences, you can define unique preferences for individual branches or territories. These preferences apply to all point-of-sale (POS) locations within the branch or territory, but they can be overridden at each POS location if you define the host settings as editable.

To define unique preferences for a branch or territory, we recommend that you copy the host preferences to the branch or territory. By copying the host preferences, you do not need to re-define each preference. Instead, you only need to edit those values that are unique to the branch or territory. If you want to define completely new preferences for a branch or territory, you can skip copying the host preferences and define all new preferences.

For definitions of each preference, see EPad Preferences.

To set up unique EPad preferences for a branch or territory:

From the System > System Files menu, select ePad Settings Maintenance to display the ePad Settings Maintenance screen.
In the Branch/DFLT field, enter default to display the host EPad preferences for all branches and POS locations.

Note: If you do not want to base the branch's or territory's EPad preferences off the host preferences, skip to step 7.

Use the Copy hot key to display the Copy To screen.
In the Br/Terr/All field, enter the branch or territory for which to define preferences based on the host settings. Enter All to copy the host preferences to all branches and territories.
Press Esc to copy the host preferences to the indicated branch or territory, and to re-display the host EPad settings.
Press Esc to clear the ePad Settings Maintenance screen of the host values.
In the Branch/DFLT field, enter the branch or territory for which you are defining unique preferences.

The system displays the host preferences if you copied the preferences. Otherwise the preference values are not populated.

For each item, edit or enter the value as needed.
In the Editable field for each item, enter Yes or No to indicate if the item is editable at your POS locations for the branch or territory.
Press Esc to save your updates and exit the screen.
