Retail Pro Guided Tour - System Control
MENU DESIGN AND SHORT CUT KEYS
In Retail Pro, menus are easily modified to suit the user
Retailers each have unique system demands. A function that is unused in one store is vital in another. Each user customizes Retail Pro by choosing from its extensive possibilities.
For the cleanest interface, menu arrangements should reflect those choices. In Retail Pro, menus are easily modified to suit the user.
CUSTOMIZATION
Any workstation can have its own set of menu layouts
Any workstation can have its own set of menu layouts
With little or no support, the user can customize
- what options appear on a Retail Pro menu
- the menu arrangement
- the appearance of buttons
Menu layouts can be saved. Any workstation can have its own set of menu layouts. Buyers may want one set of menu layouts while those in Receiving prefer another.
CONTROL
Users increase keyboard speed by defining their own shortcut keys
Users increase keyboard speed by defining their own shortcut keys
All actions in Retail Pro are controlled by mouse, touch screen or keystroke. Users increase keyboard speed by defining their own shortcut keys.
A shortcut is a keyboard sequence (such as Shift F1 or Control F2) which directly activates a menu option.
A novice user may prefer to select menu options by mouse or touch. Expert users can race through menus faster with shortcut keys, at POS and elsewhere.
NO COMPROMISE
We do not wish to offer compromises, but strive for a system perfectly suited to its environment
By creating shortcut keys for common options, you tune the system to your style of operation.
(Note: Many systems include special keystrokes for speeding up the selection of menu options. But key combinations predefined by the developer will often not suit a particular user. The developer must compromise among all system options in defining shortcuts. Retail Pro seeks a solution without compromise, perfectly tuned to its environment.)
