This is the area in Version 6 Polling where the user can edit the information that has been stored in the register. Because this area differs drastically for each type of machine and EPROM version (Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory—memory chip located inside the cash register), detailed descriptions cannot be given at present for each scenario. However, there are a few general steps to be followed.
Click on Maintain from the main menu.
From the Machine List window, highlight the machine ID of the register that contains the programs that need to be edited and press Select.
Next, the Program Selector window will be displayed. This screen contains all of the areas that can be maintained in Version 6 Polling. Use the scrollbar to view all of the areas.
Click once on a program to select it. Doing this will display a screen with various fields that can be changed.
Many Programs have many individual entries listed in a table, such as in the case with PLU. When PLU is selected from the Program Selector window, the table is displayed and near the top is a toolbar. Click here to see the information on Table Toolbar for a description of its functions. Following this information is an explanation of many of the table's functions.
The following buttons appear on some of the Version 6 maintenance screens.
Highlighting a record and pressing the copy button will create a record exactly like the first. However, some fields cannot remain the same, such as PLU Code or Memory Number. If the fields are not changed, the Key Violation error message appears. Change these fields so they are different and Post the edit.
Clicking the Print button displays a preview of how the data will look when printed. Press the Print button to print a copy of this information on the default printer. (Note: When printing PLUs, it may be advantageous to use the Invt Export button instead. Then, import the text file into Excel and print it this way. Click here to see the section on importing into and exporting from Microsoft Excel.
See the section on the Listing and Reporting toolbar for information on the buttons at the top of the screen.
Pressing the Detail button will display the information for the highlighted record in a separate window. Edit the information and press OK to save changes.
Pressing the Export button will export the data in a comma-delimited format to a text file. A window appears telling the path and file name of the file.
When Import is clicked, Version 6 will look in the directory C:\Version Six Data\Program Exports for a file with the same name as the export file. The fields also need to be in the same order as the Export file. To check the order, Export a file and note the locations of the values. If help is needed, e-mail support@pcpoll.com .
If you encounter error messages while trying to Import, please see the Import Errors section of this manual.
For more information about the Invt Export button, please contact PC/POLL SYSTEMS by emailing support@pcpoll.com .
To print doublewide Samsung characters in the logo message, place a ~ in front of each character that should be doublewide. After saving and sending this program, the character will appear differently. This is ok, the information will still function correctly. (Click here to see the Errors section for more information.)
