Introduced in Version 3.103.
Some system parameters can be set according to workstation or shopping cart. These are called Special System Parameters.
When processing an order, the Order Manager checks for workstation-based system parameters first. If none are found, it checks for shopping cart-based system parameters that apply to the shopping cart from where the order originated. If no special system parameters are configured, the program uses the default system settings.
To open the Special System Parameters dialog box, go to the Main Menu>Maintenance Menu>Maintenance tab>Set System Parameters>User, PC & Cart Based Parameters button.
Select the Workstation radio button in the Show parameters for: section in the top left corner of the dialog box. The workstations available in the current Order Manager store are listed in the Workstation Name list box. The list of parameters that can be set for the individual workstations are listed in the Parameter Group list box.
In the image below, Workstation parameters are selected:
Note: If you use the Order Manager on a Local Area Network (LAN), before you can set any special system parameters, you must build a list of the workstations on your LAN:
Click on the List Maintenance button in the top right corner of the Special System Parameters dialog box.
Click on the Workstations list.
Add the standard Windows name of each of your workstations to the Workstations list by entering a name in the Computer Name text field and clicking Save. Note: You must enter the workstations' standard Windows names or the Order Manager will not recognize them.
To create a list entry for the current workstation, click This computer and then click Save.
When your list is complete, click the Close button to return to the Special System Parameters dialog box.
Select the Cart ID radio button in the Show parameters for: section in the top left corner of the dialog box. The shopping carts available in the current store are listed in the Shopping Carts list box. The list of parameters that can be set for each cart are listed in the Parameter Group list box.
In the image below, Cart ID parameters are selected:
To set a workstation- or cart-based parameter:
Select a workstation or shopping cart from the list. To set a parameter for the current workstation, click This Computer.
Click on a Parameter Group and then click on a parameter in the Parameters in Selected Group list box.
The standard fields for entering and setting parameters that you are familiar with from the System Parameters screen appear.
Configure the parameter as you wish and click Save.
