POS Workstation Devices are what the user selects when logging into the POS. 

Image Added

POS Workstation Devices have three layers to their setup. The first layer is the Area, followed by the Terminal, and lastly, the Workstation Device.  Each specific layer of this hierarchy carries with it specific rules and features that will be used at the POS. For example, the Screen Group (menu) that is visible at the POS, is applied at the Area level.  The Area is then tied to a Terminal, which has other POS options.  Lastly, the Terminal is tied to a Workstation Device. When logging into the Workstation Device at the POS, the user will have access to all aspects of the Terminal that is linked to the Workstation Device, and ultimately the Area that is linked to the Terminal. Any changes to the bottom layers of this hierarchy, such as changing the Area that is attached to a Terminal, will also change the default setting of the Workstation Device.  This is primarily because the Terminal is linked to the Workstation Device, and thus any changes to the Terminal or Area will in due course affect the Workstation Device.

In this manualdocument, we will demonstrate how to properly set up and link together a Terminal and Workstation Device.  For information on Areas, please see our Areas manual document.

Use Case

Due to the significant volume of transactions occurring in the Club’s newly expanded Dining Room, Management decided to add another Workstation Device to ensure Dining Servers had adequate opportunities to enter orders and ring out tickets.  The Workstation Device was linked to the existing Terminal connected to the Dining Room Area, however, had a separate receipt printer attached to it for ease of processing transactions.

Please keep in mind that Workstation Devices are concurrent, meaning that regardless of where the user is at the club, if they are logged into a specific Workstation Device, any transactions completed within that Workstation Device will print to the receipt printer that is attached to that Workstation Device.  For example, if the user is in the Fitness Center at the club, but they are logged into the Bar Workstation Device, any transaction that is completed will print to the Receipt Printer that is attached to the Bar Workstation Device.  This is a great feature when using tablets to ring in POS tickets.
