Glossary of Terms
Activity Count
The activity counter keeps track of the number of times an entry is made on a PLU, or
function key.
Add Check
The Add Check function is used to add multiple guest checks (tracking balances or
soft checks) for payment together. ( Use Tray Subtotal to add separate transactions
when you are not tracking balances.)
Alpha Keyboard Overlay
The alpha keyboard overlay represents a new set of functions and characters for each
key on the keyboard. When you are programming a field that requires alpha numeric
entries, the keyboard automatically shifts into the alpha keyboard so that you can
simply type the message or descriptor you wish to program. An overlay legend sheet
is provided to place on the keyboard while you are programming.
Audaction
Refers to the total of all sales ending in a negative balance.
Authority Levels
Each employee must be assigned to one of nine authority levels. Each of the levels is
set up to determine the operations that are allowed for each employee.
For example, in a restaurant an authority level with the descriptor kitchen help could
be set to allow only clocking in/out, or an authority level with the descriptor owner
could be set up to allow all functions. Other authority levels could be defined for
servers, cashiers and managers that allow only the appropriate functions.
