Staff Console staff and settings

Open Staff Console in the hub side menu. The Staff tab holds the people who can be picked for a sale, and the Settings tab decides what staff may change by hand.

Staff tab

Add a staff member

1. Press Add new staff.
2. Fill in:
   • Staff Code: your own code for this person. Every staff member needs a different code.
   • Staff Name: the name shown in the Staff Console.
3. Press Save.

Search staff filters the list. The menu at the end of a row has Edit and Delete.

What it changes at the till

• The list has anyone in it: at checkout, staff must pick the Employee who made the sale before it can be saved.
• The list is empty: there is no employee picker, and sales are saved without one.

The staff list does not decide who can log in

Logging in to the Staff Console depends on the member tag staffConsoleUser, not on this list. See Who can log in.

Settings tab

Two switches. Change them, then press Save.

• Allow manual item amount
  • On: staff can change a product's price at the till.
  • Off: products are always charged at the price set on the Items tab.
• Allow manual total amount
  • On: staff can type a total amount by hand, without picking products.
  • Off: there is no free total. Only products from the Items tab can be charged, so add your products first.

Store the switches once

Until this tab has been saved for the first time, the Staff Console allows both, even though the switches show off. Save stays greyed out until a switch changes, so the first time: turn either switch on and press Save (this stores both switches). Then set the switches the way you want and, if that changed anything, press Save again.

Not the same as Staff Management

The staff credits add-on, under General settings, Staff Management, is a different feature: it loads monthly credits for employees. See General settings.
