Flags and Settings
Follow these steps to view and edit flags and settings for NSPOS, including universal settings and settings for groups, workstations, stores, permissions and preferences.
-
A flag uses a Boolean value, such as a box that is either checked or clear, or a field set to true or false, yes or no. Changing a flag enables or disables an option.
-
A setting is any configurable field value, such as a default amount or a maximum or minimum limit. Changing a setting lets you configure your NSPOS installation to match business rules in place for your stores.
This topic describes making changes to the NSPOS default setup. Be aware that changes can impact custom configurations previously made for your business. Only knowledgeable administrator personnel should make setting adjustments.
How changes replicate across your network
Updates made from a single POS register replicate everywhere across your network in the next synchronization cycle. Some changes will not apply until you restart the workstation or register. Although you may not receive a prompt to restart, it is good practice to always exit and restart the application after making changes.
The type of flag or setting determines where changes will apply.
-
Universal Settings – Apply everywhere on your network.
-
Store Settings – Apply only to registers in the selected store.
-
Group Settings – Apply only to registers of the same Workstation Type. The Workstation Type is a field in NetSuite under RA-Workstation records.
-
Workstation Settings – Apply only to the selected register.
