Editing Cash Register Keys

In Sportsman you can create additional cash register keys to sell day passes, merchandise, or charge a fee. You can add these keys to the default key definition or create an entirely new keyset.

Editing Cash Register Keys

To begin, navigate to File > Maintain Tables > Cash register > Cash Register Key Definitions

The Cash Register Keyset and layout box will populate as shown below. Highlight the key definition you would like to edit then click the [Edit] button. In our example we selected the Default. The Default is a legacy keyset but there are also options to create your own custom cash register keyset layouts.

 

 

Then, click on the button you want to edit. In our example we are changing the fee button to Daily fees.

In the text field, change or add the button name as shown below.

 

Adding a new button

To add a cash register button, select one of the Undefined keys.

Then choose what type of key it is.  You can link the key to one item or a category of items like all, Merchandise or only food items.

The Activity Registration and Facility/Park Reservations buttons are already included on the default keyset.

 Other key options include:

Ø Additional Keys: links to another set of keys that can be defined for each concession item.

Ø Daily Pass: links to a specific day pass.

Ø Fees: this key can link to a list of all fees that have been defined or a specific one.

Ø Mass admittance: brings up a screen to enter a group’s admittance count.

Ø Membership Sales: is included in the default keyset to sell memberships.

Ø Membership renewals: provides a shortcut to renew a patron’s expired membership.

Ø Merchandise: can link to a list of items by category or a specific item.

Ø Open Cash Drawer: opens the physical cash drawer without a sale.

Ø Rental: links to all rental items or a specific category i.e. locker rentals.

Ø Gift Cards: to sell gift cards with a default dollar amount or custom amount.

Ø Individual admittance: can look up a patron to record an admittance into the facility.

Ø UPC Code Entry(manual): can sell a merchandise item by entering the UPC code.

 

In this section you can change the button’s Hot key, Icon, Background color and text color. Below you will see an example of how to make these changes.

Hotkeys: Simply click on the arrow down button next to the hotkey and select a letter. For this example, we will select the letter (F) for fees. This will allow the cashier to hit the letter (F) and it will pull up all the daily fees that have been added into the system.

Icons: To add an Icon to your button click on the [Icon] button as shown below.

Next, you can search for the Icon using the search field or you can simply scroll down the list. If you have an icon you would like to add you can but you need to make sure you have the rights to use that icon legally before you add it to your list of icons. In our example, we select the dollar sign for fees.

 

Once you have selected your Icon, click the [OK] button to continue.

Backgrounds: To select a background color for your button, click the Back Ground button located next to the Icon button. Then select the color you want to use. The color pallet provides a rainbow of colors.  If you would like to create a custom color you can click on the [Define Custom Colors]. Once you have chosen the color click [OK].

 

You will be able to preview your changes of the button in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. If you are satisfied with your button color, move on to the text color.

Text Color: By clicking the [Text Color] button you will be able to choose from a variety of colors.

  

Once you are happy with they way your button looks click [OK] to save.

 

Now pull up your register and you will see the new button will appear.

Removing Key Definition

 If you need to remove a button from the cash register. Navigate to File>Maintain Tables>Cash Register>Cash Register Key Definitions and highlight and select the keyset definition that is associated with the button you want to remove.  

  

Then click on the button you want to remove. A box will populate as shown below. Then click on the [Remove Key Definition] button and click [Yes] to remove it.
