A layout is what a till shows: pages of product buttons, called tiles, and groups. Each branch shows one layout, on all its tills. Tills that are online and open get your changes within a minute after you select Save.
Before you start
You're an owner, business manager or branch manager.
Your products are in the console. See Add a product.
A tablet or a computer. On a phone, the layout editor only shows the layout.
Make a layout
In the console, open Layouts and select Add layout.
Type a Name, such as Café menu.
Under Start from, choose:
A group per category to start with one group for each of your categories. Good for a first layout.
An empty page to place every tile yourself.
Under Show at, choose the branch whose tills show it. If the branch already shows another layout, this one takes its place.
Select Create layout. The editor opens.
Arrange it
Add tiles: select Add a tile. Search, or choose from Products and Categories, then select Add. A category becomes a group filled with its products: change the products' category to change what's in it.
Change a tile: select it to open Edit tile. You can change the POS display name and the Colour, and choose which variants it Sells.
Add a page: select Add page. A layout has up to 20 pages, and a page holds up to 100 tiles.
Page settings: rename the page, add Rows to make room while you arrange it, or Sort page by Menu order, A–Z, Colour or Kind.
Preview: switch between Wide, Tablet and Phone to see it on different tills.
Select Save. The console shows the layout's name and saved, and the tills show the new layout.
Show a layout at a branch later
If you chose Not yet under Show at, or want this layout at another branch too:
Open the layout, select More actions and Show at a branch.
Choose the branches and select Done.
Each branch you choose shows this layout in place of the one it showed. Branches that share a layout all get the same changes when you save.
Give another branch its own copy
To change a layout for one branch without touching the others, open it, select More actions and Copy layout, and choose the branches. Each gets its own copy. Copy layout shows when you have more than one branch.
If something goes wrong
The till doesn't show my change. Check you selected Save. If you leave with unsaved changes, the console asks Save your changes? On the till, open Actions and tap Update Products.
"This layout changed while you were editing it". Someone else saved it meanwhile. Choose Load the newer layout to see theirs, or Save mine over it.
A product is missing from the till. It isn't on the layout, or it's archived. Add a tile for it, or restore it under Products > Archived.
The till shows no products. The branch has no layout. Open a layout and select More actions > Show at a branch, or make one and choose the branch under Show at.
Note: Deleting a layout that a branch shows leaves that branch's tills without a layout until you give them another.
