Configuration of the name list on the Hypersoft POS...

Generally, the daily transaction numbers are used to display the transactions. However, names can also be displayed (superhero function). The following must be set for this:

  • No start value must be specified for the desired functionality.

  • The check mark for "Use name list" must be set.

  • The list of names must contain names

  • Bon Order individual (tab Book I ) must be activated (and taken into account on the keyboard for the closing keys)

The Hypersoft // system must be restarted in sequence (main computer and cash registers).

Only transactions of the current theoretical end-of-day are output.

Images, font colours, videos and animations can be partially customised. The individual display elements can be configured in the appsettings.json file.
