Micros Touchscreen Designer 1

[MZ117]

System: Micros 3700
Version: 4.9.4.3103

I'm hoping someone can answer this question, and I'm going to try to explain as simple as possible! Trying to update the Food Screen (main screen where you have options like Beverages/Entrees/Appetizers/Liquor/etc.) and I want to have the receipt show on the same screen. <u>I know I can do that by going to "Touchscreens" and changing "Template" from TableObject to Detail2...</u>

My question/issue is this... All of the templates take up too much space and I want to have buttons under where the receipt would be (like a next seat/clear last/etc)... Is there a way I can insert a button under TouchScreen Designer using the TableObject template and specify a specific size for the receipt using categories/functions as opposed to a specific layout?

There must be some way to do this because a Google Image search shows SEVERAL designs where the receipt is only in say the top-left corner of the screen and the bottom 75% of the screen has server buttons, so there has to be a way to resize the actual size of the receipt somewhere....​

Any help would be much appreciated!

THANKS!

Don't forget to copy your changes to the CAL folders when you are done either.

 

[MZ117]

Ok, thanks. I will check this afternoon when I get to that site. Two questions:

- So that means I need to copy to each WS5a workstation, too?

- Does the file you posted replace the existing templates or add to them?

Thanks!

If you have an existing file with existing custom templates, just modify the ones above (ScreenTemplate 10013, 1, "QSR Sign In" - change the 10013 to be the next in sequence). This only modifies the custom templates; the system templates are untouchable.

All you have to do is put it in the CAL's etc folder for whichever workstations you have. Before setting the theme for the workstations, I would make sure the new template is copied over; if the template is missing Ops freaks out.

That is a screenshot of what the QSR template looks like. Everything except the very top where the check detail is is button real-estate.

Moregelen,

I cannot find "OpsDisplayUser.Cfg" anywhere. I did a search, looked in the folder you said, showed hidden files, etc. Could it be called something different?​

Thanks!

Here is a screenshot of where the file would be if you were using any custom templates. If you aren't just add the file and then use the template.

If you don't have the file, you can just use this one we already have if you'd like. We have a few custom templates in it that I quite like.

Moregelen,

I uploaded the file to C:\Micros\Res\Pos\Etc and the templates are not showing up under "Touchscreens" --> "Template." I tried restarting the system and Micros manually, as well. Is there something else I am missing or need to do?

Thanks again!

(And to add to that, I did delete the *.txt extension so it's just *.cfg)...

 

[Moregelen]

I can't say for sure, but I don't think so. I'm sure pmegan can probably tell us for sure, but unless she/he steps in, I don't really have a definite answer on that. I just know that I can drop that in and modify the custom templates we have.

Does the same folder have a OpsDisplaySys.cfg? Those are the system templates, so that file should be in the same folder as where you're dropping in the OpsDisplayUser.cfg

 

[MZ117]

Yes, it already did have the OpsDisplayUser.cfg inside the folder. Maybe it takes some time to show up? I'll try restarting it again in like 30 minutes and let you know!

 

[Moregelen]

It already had the OpsDisplayUser.cfg? Did you open that up and append the QSR templates to it? That should be all you have to do, making sure to increment the template number to the next one down. Or did you just overwrite yours?

 

[MZ117]

Sorry, meant the OpsDisplaySys.cfg ... I added the DisplayUser...

 

[Moregelen]

Ah. Ok. Then yeah, I'm not too sure about that. And you even did a full reboot.. every time I've dealt with the custom templates, all I had to do was drop the file in. I'm unsure if there is a setting (or even version) requirement. Out of curiosity, what version of RES is this?

 

[MZ117]

Version: 4.9.4.3103 (Corp did say they're moving us to 5 next month...)

 

[Moregelen]

It should work on 4.9, not I'm really not sure to be honest *scratches head*. Sorry man, while I am approaching the one year mark, I still am relatively new to Micros, so I can't really give a definite answer on why it might not have loaded the custom templates file.

 

[MZ117]

Fair enough! Thanks for your help though! I'm new to Micros too... We have Aloha (NCR) everywhere except this one location and still debating if we want to keep it or not. There's some parts I like a lot more than Aloha, but the front end for Aloha seems much more user friendly than Micros, in my opinion at least...

 

[Moregelen]

There are some nifty things things aloha does, a lot of which I've replicated through SIM for some of our customers coming from aloha (It HAS to do it this way! *But.. Micros does it this way..* I'm the customer, and Aloha does it this way, and this is how I want it done! *Well, ok then*).

Out of curiosity, what do you prefer in aloha? I'm always interested in things I can do to improve the experience for my own customers. The niftiest I've copied from another POS System is the ability to manage the availability of menu items straight from the normal menus the employees use when entering orders.

 

[MZ117]

Well, I'll tell you exactly what I would like the most (and I know this sounds stupid, but again multiple locations all the same except the Micros one...)

Is there a way to do that in Micros 3700 ?

[li] It's not the biggest picture, but see how the receipt is small and on the left only using a little of the screen with buttons below it?[/li]
[li] The other big issue is how the menu items are arranged along with Aloha sorting the "most used items" to the top on a regular basis.[/li]
[/ul]

Finally, and you may know this answer, can I change the background color on Micros for the touchscreens? (MAJOR glare issues [we bought glare shields---no help]). I know you can Workstations --> Display --> Theme but those themes really don't resolve the issue. For example, can I change the background color on "Curved" to "White" instead of "Black" ?
