Touch Screen Button Maintenance
Your touch screen monitors have areas (we call them item buttons) that you touch which will bring to the POS screen items for
sale that the student intends to purchase. These buttons are controlled by a program that we call Littlefoot Maintenance. We call this by the name Littlefoot because that is the name of the original POS terminals we used years ago and we just decided to continue using this term. We could have easily changed the name to Touch Screen Item Maintenance but we continue to use the
legacy name.
The back office administrator controls the content of the touch screen item buttons. The associated tutorials will instruct you on how to change the content of these buttons. We know that each item for sale has an item number. In the Littlefoot Maintenance there are 45 fields, one for each available touch screen item button. The fields will contain the item number to be called to the POS screen and the quantity of the items which is normally one. Thus for example if you wish for button key field number 06 to be Milk and milk is item number 16 then the entry would be 160001. This represents item number 16 for Milk and 0001 for a quantity
of one.
The Littlefoot Maintenance routine will permit you to add items to the touch screen buttons, change the item numbers and
positions of the touch screen buttons, and move one clerks Littlefoot settings to another clerk.
It should be noted that the Littlefoot settings are set by school and by clerk. This means that if you have, for example, three clerks at a school then you would have to enter the touch screen button items three times. You may of course move the entire clerk values from one clerk to another which is covered in the tutorials.
