About POS profiles

This topic explains how POS profiles can be used to manage functionality for specific registers.

POS profiles control specific aspects of the POS display and behavior.

Some of the things that POS profiles control include:

• How long a POS lane can be idle before the user is automatically logged off;

• The maximum number of rows to display, e.g., when you search for an item;

• Whether to display a details row for each item;

• Whether to display an integrated web browser in POS;

• Whether to enable integrated payment;

• Whether to display Weights and Measures information on the POS login screen, and the number of decimal digits to use in measurements.

POS profiles are defined in Store Manager in Setup | Hardware | POS Profiles. You can assign a POS profile to a specific POS lane in Store Manager in Setup | Hardware | Register List.
