2.1 Setting up Categories

How to set up Categories

From the back office navigate to Manage > Products > Categories 

Once selected, a list of your products will appear which can be filtered by till order, name, parent category, report category, order printer/display, button colour, nominal code, show on till, or pop up note.

To add a new category select the ‘add category’ button which is located in the top right-hand corner of the screen.

The add category screen allows users to add new categories and parent categories onto the system. 

• Name: Name of the category that will show in the back office/ front till 
• Parent Category: Allows the user to select a category for other categories to sit within. (e.g. Starters/Mains/Desserts within Food (Parent category) 
• Report Category: This will automatically change to the parent category but can be changed to reflect what report you’d like the category to show in. 
• Order Printer/Display: Allows users to dictate what printer they would like a receipt printed too. (most common for hospitality- bar/kitchen/etc) 
• Button Colour: Allows a user to change the button colour that appears on the till. 
• Till Order: Allows users to put buttons in a desired position on the till in numerical order. 
• Nominal Code: Used for accounting purposes (integrating with an accounting package) 
• Show on till: Allows a user to hide categories from the till screen if they are not needed or used. 
• Popup Note: Allows users to add a popup reminder for staff (check ID/challenge 25/ etc)
