Setting Up Pop-up Panels
Pop-up Panels are used to display extra input needed during a transaction in a panel that appears on top of the POS current layout. When the pop-up panel closes the POS current layout appears again.
The Pop-up panels are a part of the Interface Profile ##DEFAULT.
Note: For new companies it is ideal to copy the Pop-up setup from the Demo Data Company.
Tip: The Pop-up setup is included in the ##DEFAULT Interface and Menu Profiles and in LS Retail Setup.
In the system there are three different Pop-up panels designed to display the different Pop-up types.
The three Pop-up panels are:
- #POP-SIMPLE1X
- #POP-SIMPLE
- #POP-FULL
The size and position of the Pop-up panel in the POS is defined with the Panel’s fields Width, Height and Position fields.
Note: A panel with zero value for the XPos and YPos fields appears in the center of the POS window.
