Terminal Records

 

Back Office > Administration > Terminal Records

 

Description

 

This menu item is used to configure/manage SwiftPOS Touch terminals in use throughout all Locations.

 

Note : The number of active Terminals cannot exceed the number currently covered by the SwiftPOS Registration licence.

 

To Be Considered

 

  1. Terminals to be used as SwiftPOS Touch terminals will need to be added to those listed in Terminals Records, as well as to those listed in the Touch POS Terminals.
  2. SwiftPOS Touch Terminals created and flagged as Active can be selected when using the Back Office Invoicing feature. However, a Terminal can also be created just for Back Office Invoicing, in which case it will NOT need to be added to the list of Touch POS Terminals.
  3. Training Terminal - The Terminal IDs 999901 - 999999 are reserved for Training Use Only and will not be considered as one of the Licensed Terminals covered by the SwiftPOS Registration. It will also not record sales. Training Terminals are provided at no extra Licensing cost and are designed to configure and test keyboard layouts in SwiftPOS Back Office prior to activating them across active SwiftPOS Touch terminals.
