Creating quick menus

By default, the POS is configured with a main quick menu which is displayed as the Menu Maintenance screen and Quick Menu screen on the application. Retailers can then create more quick menus to categorize their products. These quick menus become sub-menus to the POS application’s main quick menu.

Creating a quick menu on the POS application requires the following task, in this order:

  1. Creating the style of the quick menu
  2. Creating the button of the quick menu

Refer to the following sections.
