Adding a button to a touchscreen menu

After creating a touchscreen menu, you must create buttons to populate the touchscreen menu. The number of buttons you can fit in a touchscreen menu depends on the layout you specified. For example, in a 6 x 3 layout, you can fit nine buttons in the touchscreen menu.

  1. Select Configuration > Touchscreen > Screens / Buttons.
  2. In the row of the touchscreen menu, click Buttons.
  3. Click Add Buttons.
  4. Specify this information:
    Button Type
    Specify a button type. If you select the Menu Item option, then the Prompt list is enabled. If you select the Quick Tender option, then the Quick Tender Amount field is enabled.
    Link To
    Specify an item that is linked to the button. The Button Text field is automatically filled out with the same value specified in the Link To field.
