Setting up Configurations and Notifications

1. Click on the Configurations tab where you will view the settings for the cash register. With the help of configuration settings, you can make the start and end shift option as mandatory. This means that the user will not be allowed to make a transaction given the start shift trigger is enabled.

2. Similarly, the user will not be allowed to logout the system if the end shift trigger is enabled. They will have to end the running shift first.

3. An option of automatically closing the shift register has also been introduced in the register shift module. This will ask you for a time at which you want to automatically end your shift(s) for the day. An SMS / Email reminder will also be sent to the selected employee from the Notification settings if the last trigger is enabled.

Please note that the shift will automatically be closed if the relevant trigger is enabled (whether the employee is using the system or not).

Updated Register Shift Functionality

1. Click on the Edit or Create button and you will be asked to update the register shift functionality where the employee selection will be mandatory.

Note: Once you save the settings with the updated functionality, you won’t be allowed to shift back which means that the employee selection option will be mandatory when creating a register.

2. After saving the register, the names of the employees will be shown against the registers.

Note: In order to update or create a cash register, please make sure to close all your running shifts first.

3. An employee started a shift on Register 1. In the following pop up, that employee will only be shown the registers against which they are given access.

Now both the employees will be able to make transactions in Register 1.

Please note that the user who joins the shift will not be allowed to end the shift. They will be given the option to leave the existing shift. Also, they will have to join the shift again if the user or store is switched.
