To be able to sell tickets and concessions, you will need to configure at least one POS workstation.

Steps

Note: Each of the following maintenance forms are configured in Cinema Manager or Head Office.

• (Optional) Go to Maintenance > Workstation Profiles to group POS workstations into distinct sales areas. For example, you could create a Box Office profile and a Bar profile.
• Go to Maintenance > POS Designer and create a Profile (layout) for your POS workstation.
• (Optional) Go to Maintenance > POS Button Layouts to create button layouts that vary in position and visibility for different workstations.
• Go to Maintenance > Function Templates to define the role and configuration of your circuit's workstations.

  Tip: To prevent local cinema operators from assigning alternative function templates to workstations after they're downloaded, set the system setting AllowSwapHOFunctionTemplate to No.

• Go to Maintenance > Hardware Templates to define the makes, models, and equipment setup used in your circuit's workstations.

  Tip: To prevent local cinema operators from assigning alternative function templates to workstations after they're downloaded, set the system setting AllowSwapHOHardwareTemplate to No.

• Go to Maintenance > Workstation Map to configure the workstations you will download to your cinemas, applying the function and hardware templates you created.

  Tip:

  • Decide on a network naming convention for Workstations before downloading them and adding them to your cinema LAN/WAN.
  • To prevent local cinema operators from creating new workstations, set the system setting CreateNewWorkstations to No.
