POS System Update – What’s New in Release V8.4.17.20

What’s New in Release Version 8.4.17.20 – Release Date Mar 28, 2022

• Added new Auto Log Off feature when till is idle
  • MyPOS Back Office –> System Settings –> Device Options –> Device Security   –> Auto log out of till after (x) minutes of inactivity
• Added new device option “Require customer – prompt on subtotal”
  • If you want to require a customer, we recommend using either “Require customer – prompt on subtotal” or “Require customer – prompt after every product”
  •  MyPOS Back Office –> System Settings –> Device Options –> Customers –> Require customer…
• Added new feature where a till button can list a group of products based on their classification
  • Create a new product where Product Type = Program Function and Target Function = CLASSIFICATION ClassificationCodeHere. Once created, add the new “product” to a button on any Menu Layout (Touchscreen)
• Added new field for labels to print the product code as a barcode. Currently, only the product barcode field prints
  • This option will benefit users who have shorter product codes than Barcodes by improving scan-ability. To change from using the barcode field to the product code field, edit your label and change this:
    • Begin BARCODE
    • Begin PRODUCTCODE
  • Also, if you don’t already have the following line Value = “Code128”, it is recommended that you add it to the text block. For example:
    • Begin PRODUCTCODE Object1
    • Value = “Code128”
    • Left = ?
    • Top = ?
    • Width = ?
    • Height = ?
    • Align = ?
    • End Object1
• Added new grid option to show company name in work order lookup grid
  • MyPOS Back Office –> System Settings –> Device Options –> Screen Setup –> Show Company Name on Work Order grid.  Once enabled, the new column will show up at the end of the work order lookup grid but can be resized and dragged to any location
• Added new grid option to show first and last name separately in customer search
  • MyPOS Back Office –> System Settings –> Company Options –> Search Settings –> “Customer search show first and last name columns”. Once enabled, the new columns will show up at the end of the customer search grid but can be resized and dragged to any location
• Added option to disable the onscreen keyboard after a double click

• Added option to disable the onscreen keyboard after tapping a touchscreen
  • MyPOS Back Office –> System Settings –> Device Options –> Screen Setup –> Prevent on-screen keyboard when touching text box from touch screen
• Fixed issue where adding products that have packaging settings would not always repack in the correct unit types when cancelling a transaction
• Fixed issue with discount notes not being copied to products picked up on a partial Work Order
• Improved till usability if “Sales Rep Required” option is on
  • Old behaviour would prevent user from adding an item to a transaction if no Sales Rep was assigned.
  • New behaviour warns user that Sales Rep is required when adding products to the till but allows them to continue. Prevents payment of the sale if any products are missing a sales rep.
• Improved visibility of text box being edited with on-screen keyboard by adding a yellow background
