This document describes the security settings that are configurable within the Connect Platform and their use.
Security Settings within the Connect Platform
- Identify Till Operator
This functionality enables you to identify a member of staff at the till and gives the ability to review who is selling at the till. Changing the setting to F (Force Swipe Code), will ensure that a staff member will have to sign in using their own unique code for identification. - Till Supervisor Password
This password restricts the ability to create discounts on the till and the cashing up functions. - Till to Back Office Password
This password restricts the ability to get into the Back Office. This protects your trade information and reduces the risk of accidental changes to stock information. - Historic Receipt Print Password
This password restricts the ability to print historic sales receipts. This functionality should be used in conjunction with Till Declaration as printing historic receipts opens the cash drawer. - View Till Sales History
This password restricts the ability to view historic sales receipts. This functionality should be used in conjunction with Till Declaration as printing historic receipts opens the cash drawer. - Allow printing of Gift Receipts
This functionality enables the ability to print Gift Receipts. - Maximum Cash Tender Allowed
By default this is set to 999.99. This ensures that a maximum of 999.99 in cash can be taken on any single sales transaction; this can be changed to suit your business. This functionality also gives added protection against scanning a barcode as a payment type. - Enforce Till Declarations
This functionality is disabled by default. Till Declaration is the functionality to secure the cashing up procedure by enforcing a till drawer count at the beginning and end of a session. - Print No Sale Signature Strips
This functionality is disabled by default. Once enabled this functionality ensures that a slip is printed from the receipt printer every time the No Sale button is pressed on the till. - Allow Quick Print Receipt
This functionality enables the ability to print a receipt without saving the transaction. - Allow Payment Removal Within an Open Session
This functionality is disabled by default. Once enabled this functionality allows payments to be removed from a transaction within an open session. The till will create an automatic correction. - Allow Sale of an Article that has Options
This functionality is set to ‘N’ by default. This functionality allows or prevents the sale of a top-level article that has options (colours/sizes). - Allow Purchase of an Article that has Options
