Touch screen layout

The touch register in Bitta Retail POS builds its item grid from three layers of setup. POS categories decide the tabs, their order and the tile colors. POS items decide which tiles appear, in which order, and which ones sit on the favorites row. The terminal decides the tile size and whether the favorites row shows, with company defaults on POS Setup so that most tills need no change of their own. This page covers the configuration; the cashier's view of the same screen is in Touch register tour.

Prerequisites

• The BAA POS - Admin permission set. It can edit POS Setup, terminals, categories and items.
• At least one store and terminal, created by the setup wizard or on POS Terminals. See Terminals.
• POS items with a POS Category Code. See Item catalog setup.

Set tile size and favorites

1. Search for POS Setup and open it.
2. On the Register Behavior FastTab, set the company defaults:
   • Tile Size: Small, Medium or Large. (Default) uses the register's built-in size, which is Medium.
   • Show Favorites Row: shows a row of items flagged Favorite at the top of the item grid. It is off in a new company, so existing registers do not change until you turn it on.

3. To give one till a different layout, search for POS Terminals and edit that terminal's row:
   • Tile Size: an explicit size wins for this terminal only. (Default) follows POS Setup.
   • Show Favorites: Yes or No forces the favorites row on or off for this terminal. (Default) follows Show Favorites Row.

The register resolves both values every time it loads its catalog: the terminal value first, then POS Setup, then Medium for the tile size. A change shows the next time the register loads its catalog, for example when the register page is opened again on the till. The demo data shows the pattern: DEMO-T2 runs Small tiles while DEMO-T1 keeps (Default).

Tile Size	Tile height on the register
Small	about 110 pixels, for a large catalog or a small counter tablet
Medium	about 150 pixels, the built-in size
Large	about 190 pixels, for tills operated standing or with gloves

Arrange the category tabs

1. Search for POS Categories.
2. For each category, set Name (the tab label), Sort Order (left-to-right position of the tab) and Tile Color (Gray, Blue, Green, Orange, Purple, Red, Teal or Slate).
3. Clear Show on Register to take a whole category off the register. Its tab disappears and so do all of its items, even items that are flagged Show on Register themselves.

The register always starts the tab row with an All tab. Items with a blank category always show. An item whose category code has no row on POS Categories still shows on the All tab, in the default gray, but gets no tab of its own. In the demo company, the DEMO-SEAS (Seasonal) category is hidden to show the opt-out.

Choose which items appear and in what order

1. Search for POS Items. The list shows Show on Register and Favorite; the item card has all three register fields in its Register group.
2. Set the fields for each item:
   • Show on Register: on for every new item. Turn it off to keep an item sellable in the back office without a tile. The register's item search skips it too.
   • Register Sort Order: the order of the tile within its category. Lower numbers come first; items with the same number sort by Description.
   • Favorite: puts the item on the favorites row, whatever category is selected.
   • Short Description (up to 30 characters): the tile label when filled in; otherwise the tile shows Description.

Only items that are Active and shown on the register reach the till. Hidden items and hidden categories are filtered in Business Central before the catalog is sent to the browser.

How the register shows it

• Favorites row: above the category tabs. It appears only when favorites are enabled for the terminal and at least one favorite matches the current search. Favorite tiles look and behave exactly like grid tiles.
• Category tabs: All first, then the visible categories in Sort Order, each outlined in its tile color. Every tile takes the color of its category.
• Tiles: the label and the price for the open sale. Tile prices are quantity-one previews in the sale's pricing context, so a customer or pricing profile change shows on the tiles.
• Search box: typing filters the tiles and the favorites row by item number, description, short description or barcode.
• Variants: a tile for an item with variants and no Default Variant Code opens the variant picker instead of adding a line.
• Stock badges: Low and Out badges on tiles come from stock awareness, set up on Stock availability.
