Touchscreens
Introduction
Introduction
Touchscreens make the 3700 system flexible and easy to use
because their keys change to reflect the function being
performed. They can be programmed to display different sets of
keys for different employees and revenue centers.
The system uses several different types of touchscreens. This
section explains different types. It also explains different kinds
of keys that appear on the touchscreens.
Types of Touchscreens
Here are the types of touchscreens you’ll see as you use the 3700
system.
Default Touchscreens
A default touchscreen is a screen that automatically displays
under certain conditions, unless another condition overrides it.
Default touchscreens include:
❏ Sign in. The screen employees use to sign in to the UWS.
This screen displays when no one is signed in.
❏ Transaction. The first screen that appears after an
employee signs in. Employees use this screen to perform
their job’s functions, such as begin checks and post sales.
Typically, each job (cashier, wait staff, manager) has its own
default transaction touchscreen.
❏ Alpha. The screen that appears whenever an alphabetic
character entry is required in a transaction, as in “Enter
check ID.”
❏ Numeric. The screen that appears whenever a numeric
entry is required, as in “Enter number of guests.”
❏ Training. The screen that appears when an employee in
training mode signs in. This screen replaces the default
transaction screen.
Note
The sample touchscreens used here are based on the
standard Micros touchscreen templates. If your
touchscreens have a different look, it can be attributed
to the Enhanced User Interface feature that allows a
restaurant to customize touchscreen displays.
