Training Mode Operation

 

Touch > Tools > Basic Tools > Training Mode On/Off

 

Description

 

This menu item enables the SwiftPOS Touch terminal to be used for Training purposes. When in Training mode the following applies:

 

  1. All sales including Table/TAB sales are NOT sent to the SwiftPOS Back Office and does not affect live data.
  2. Member redemptions, Customer charges/payments and selling raffle tickets are not allowed in training mode because these interact with the SwiftPOS Back Office.
  3. All printing will show Training Mode on top of the printouts.
  4. The sales grid appears yellow (see example below).

 

To Be Considered

 

  1. Access to the Training Mode On/Off option is managed by Clerk Security and Connect/Touch Security settings.
  2. SwiftPOS Touch terminal numbers 999901-999999 are locked to Training Mode so any SwiftPOS Touch terminal using this Terminal Number will not affect sales. SwiftPOS Touch terminals 999901-999999 are set up in the SwiftPOS Back Office and is not included in the count of SwiftPOS Touch terminals covered by the Software Registration.

 

The screen show below shows some training POS Terminals set up in SwiftPOS. Any numbers between 999901 and 999999 are not part of the registration POS Terminal count. For each SwiftPOS Back Office PC-User, you can also have 1 Terminal Licence for SwiftPOS Back Office Invoicing.

 

 

This registration is for 1 SwiftPOS Touch POS Terminal. This registration shows the 3 training terminals online but that are not part of the registration.
