HQ should export touchscreen keyboards

May 15, 2007 4 Replies

HQ should export existing touchscreen keyboards from the template database when creating a new store database. Or at least there should be a simple mechanism for copying an existing keyboard between registers.



For that matter, HQ should maintain a library of macros and keyboards that can be downloaded to stores.



NOTE: RMS SO Manager has a bug in the Copy function of Touchscreen Keyboards. If you create a keyboard with no keys defined and try to perform a copy from that keyboard the sytstem floats RTE 3021 and shuts down.

Hey Akber,

I have read the HQ documentation and I'm pretty clear on what's static, dynamic, local, etc.. Per the instructions, I have created a template SO DB, and I've also tested using a live SO DB as well. The SO DB that I select during the export process definately has keyboards defined in it. HQ 2.0 does not copy the keyboards for me.

Perhaps it's a bug :)? I've done the export several times now and the result is always the same: the TouchScreenKeyboard and TouchScreenKeyboardEntry tables are empty.

The definition of security from HQ is now part of the retail Realm HQ Utility [over 60 small and large utilities]. This allows you to define the security by store or by region. We have not added the touch configuration but that would make sense to define centrally. We also have the definition of cashiers and salesrep done centrally with enhanced ability to send messages from Store to Store or store to HQ.
