Action: Each operation screen button can have 1 of the following 3 actions:

  • Operation: Selecting the button will select associated operation for the transaction.
  • Keypad: Selecting the button will prompt the user to enter their an operation code.  This button type is uncommon and used to enter transactions not associated with an on screen button.
  • Subscreen: This button is used to link to other operation screens.  This is commonly used in departments with more operations than fit on a single screen or for terminals in break-rooms or other common areas to enable operators to start and stop transactions from those locations.
Screen Link: The operation screen (for subscreen buttons) that the button will direct to.
