DETAIL ENTRY METHOD SELECTION

SPOT supports two Detail entry methods, touch screen and keyboard.

The method selected follows the user

PINPIN

PIN entry and is defined by

configuration option during user setup. For example, one user can be set

for keyboard detailing, while all other users are set for touch screen

detailing. The touch screen Detail method is the recommended entry

method since it has expanded functionality and is easier to learn and

use. The following are important considerations:

Keyboard

Commonly used by those familiar with the SPOT Classic detailing

method. This method commonly uses numeric sequences entered from

the numeric pad for detailing, (i.e., 1-3-2 could mean [1]Dryclean,

[3]Pants, [2]Jeans). While this method is fast once learned, it does have

a fairly long learning curve. Detailing allows only two user-defined

descriptors plus a single upcharge table list.

Touch screen

This more robust detailing method is more intuitive, requiring less time

to learn. It is also very fast to use. The drawback is that it requires the

use of a more expensive touch screen to obtain the maximum operational

benefit. A cheaper mouse can be used, but is slower and not recom-

mended if fast detailing is required. It also contains four user-defined

descriptors and an upcharge table list with upcharge sub-list capability.
