How To

How do I add quick-add buttons, also known as Flip Charts, to the POS?

Follow these steps

1. From the GT Backend, select Products > Advanced > Quick Add Flipchart.
2. Select Actions > Add New Section. This creates the section where the button will be located on the POS. If your section already exists, skip ahead to step 4.
   

   

3. Enter a Name for this section and select submit.
   

   

4. Select the Section where you would like the button located.
   

   

5. Select Actions > New Button. This will create the button at the POS.
   

   

6. Choose the Product from the drop-down menu.
   

   

7. Enter any Override Text. This will override the product description of the item at the POS. If you have a product called "Plastic Bags" for example, you might want to use the Override Text to call this item "bag".
   

   

8. Decide whether you want to: 
   • Prompt for Price - This will prompt the cashier to enter a price.
   • Prompt for Description - This will prompt the cashier to enter a barcode and description (compatible with POS v3.1 and higher).
   • Negative Quantity - This option will add a negative price and quantity at the POS, this is typically used for items such as lottery redemption.
