How does the Connected devices screen work in Jimani?

Answer

Under Connected devices are all your POS screens, handhelds, tablets, phones, kitchen screens, kiosks, receipt printers, cash drawers, buzzers and card terminals, as tiles. Here you pair new devices and open a device to set it up.

Where to find it

Settings > Till and products > Tills and equipment (/Settings/externaldevices).

Explanation

The page heading is Connected devices with the text Connect your POS screens, receipt printers, cash drawers and card terminals and manage them here. Each device is a tile with a picture and the name. Click a tile to set up that device (see What can you set on a POS screen, handheld, tablet or phone?, What can you set on a receipt printer or kitchen printer? and What can you set on a kitchen screen?). Without devices it says No data found.
