Administration

In the Administration tab, you have access to Parameter Maintenance.

In the Parameter Maintenance, you can maintain store and POS parameters. There are several parameters that you can maintain at the store level that override standard defaults. Some of the most common parameters you update are receipt messages and number of receipts.
Note:

• Any store address or URL change to the receipt must be submitted to the Follett Support Center. The change is escalated to the CORE POS development team. These receipt fields cannot be changed at the store level.
• Bank information that prints on the back of a check when franked cannot be changed at the store level. Contact the Follett Support Center to request any changes.

You can edit the existing parameter default, or you can add a parameter for a specific purpose, e.g., rush or check-in/buyback messages. If you add a parameter locally, you can also reverse back to the default message at any time by following the steps to Reverse a Parameter.

Once you edit or add a parameter, you must distribute to registers to ensure it is available at all registers. You have flexibility in selecting the registers. For example, you could distribute an off-site specific message to those registers you are using only off-site, e.g., off-site author signing with a special promotion.

You have access and the ability to edit a number of parameters at the store level. However, a majority of these established parameters, you do not need to change.

A few of the common parameters that you may edit are listed below:

The Parameter List contains all parameters available at the store level. The Value column lists the setting for each parameter.

See below example of location for both a global message and local message on the receipt.

Reverse a Parameter

To revert back to a different parameter, you simply update, if necessary, and distribute a different parameter. For example, if you added and distributed a LocalMessageRush that was specific to refunds during rush, and then you wanted to revert back to the standard local message, distribute the original parameter to all registers.

If you did not setup and save a new parameter, LocalMessageRush for example, you edit the original parameter and re-distribute. See Update and Distribute a Parameter.
