Hiding the Clerk Login in Floor Plans

 

 

When Floor Plans are being displayed, and there is a requirement for the Clerk Login screen to be hidden (ie. not overlayed over the Floor Plan), and thus ensuring all Tables are visible. A setup generally preferred for a Waiter Station. To achieve this ensure the following is configured:

 

  1. Ensure the Floor Plan Layout Times have been configured to ensure the correct Floor Plan is displayed on the correct day/time.
     
  2. Ensure the Show Current Floor plan setting is selected.
     
  3. Set the Show Floor Plan Layouts after xx seconds setting to -1.
     
  4. Ensure the Clear grid after x seconds setting is set to say 5 seconds.
     
  5. Ensure the Log off when sale finalises setting is selected.
     
  6. Select Cancel on the Clerk Login screen to hide it. The Clerk Logged Off - Click to Log In button will appear in the bottom right hand corner of the Floor Plan screen. Select this button to Log In.
