What can you set per till under Payment methods, Permissions, Auto-lock and Table name required?

Answer

The Till settings page of a till or handheld has four blocks that apply per device and save immediately: Payment methods on this till, Permissions on this till, Auto-lock and Table name required. This way you can make, for example, a terrace till with only card payments, or a till where giving discounts asks for a PIN.

Where to find it

Settings > Till and products > Registers and hardware, open the till or handheld, Till settings page (/settings/externaldevices)

Explanation

Every Yes/No is saved immediately; you see Saved. If it fails, you see Not saved and the choice jumps back. The till itself picks up the change as soon as it can.

• Payment methods on this till. Nothing set means: everything on, as always. If you turn a few off, the remaining payment methods appear as buttons on the screen, without a choice window. If only Pin is on, there is a single Card payments button that starts the payment immediately.
• Permissions on this till. The till always wins: what is set to No here is off for everyone signed in on this till, even if their role allows it. Only the PIN of someone whose role allows it releases it once. A till you connect now only gets Till and checkout and Tables and reservations set to Yes; the rest is No. A till that was already connected is Yes everywhere.
• Releasing with a PIN. Tables, reports and settings are not shown when set to No; under Settings (the cogwheel) on the till it then says Unlock with PIN. Returns, discounts, the drawer and the day closing only ask for the PIN when you use them. After the PIN you see "Released by" with the name.
