Quick Menu Buttons

The Quick Menu Buttons parameter group can be used to create the POS button for a sub-menu defined in the Quick Menus parameter group or for an existing item in the store’s database. These buttons allow the POS application to access quick menus and items for store transactions. The color configuration options available for this feature can use the hexadecimal notation or the RGBA notation.

The following table describes the Quick Menu Buttons options.
