Terminal Configurations

Configuration > Point of Service > Terminal Configurations

Terminal configurations are a multi page group of settings for each POS configuration. A unique Terminal Configuration will be required for each different set of POS settings and layouts. Larger districts will probably need at least 1 configuration for elementary, middle, high school. Smaller districts may only need 1 configuration that is used on each terminal in the district. One Terminal Configuration is assigned to each Device.
