Creating Quick Sale Buttons for the iPad running CPS Air

Overview

For your iPad running CPS Air, you have two options on how to create buttons for it:

  • Selecting the iPad at the Sales creator screen in POS Express before you start creating the buttons

  • Copying the buttons from another terminal's Sales screen

Tip: The iPad works best with buttons set up with a row of 5 across and 5 down.

Creating the QSB for the iPad at the Sales creator screen in POS

You can create your QSB for CPS Air in POS Express in the Quick Sales Button Setup screen. However, you must select your iPad at the terminal before you get started so that the buttons are created for the CPS Air on the iPad. Also, you must remember that you are creating buttons ONLY from the Page 1 of the Quick Sales Button Setup screen.

Note: You can do this on any terminal running POS Express.

  1. Select Tools | Options | Sales Options | Quick Sales Button Setup. The Quick Sales Button Setup screen displays.
  2. From the Terminal menu, select the iPad terminal.

Tip: Because you don't have the Page option for the iPad, you might want to start creating sub-pages first. You can have some buttons on the first page if needed, but to organize the sales, you should use the Add Sub Item button.

  1. In the left panel, search and locate the item for which you wish to make a button. You can filter by product name, product code or description. The search results display in the left panel below the search tool.



  1. Click the item to select it, and drag it to an empty square on the right. The square is how your button will display on the screen.




  1. Use the toolbox at the bottom of the screen to [change the appearance] of the button. For more details, hover over each option in the image below or click here>


  • Fore color: Click to change the text color of the button.
    Back color: Click to change the background color of the button.

  • Label: Use this text box to change the button text.

  • Font and font size: These fields allow you to change the text style and size.

  • Image and the "..." button: Click the "..." button to navigate to an image on your computer and upload it. The red x button deletes the image.
