Overview
Changes made in SkyTab Multi-Location Management are saved to the Shift4 cloud but are not immediately pushed to POS stations. They are published to POS through one of three methods:
- Automatically at start of day based on configured time
- Manually triggered by store personnel from the POS
- Manually pushed from Enterprise by an authorized user
Automatically at the Location End/Start of Day
The Start of Business Day time set on the POS station is used to automatically update all pending changes to the location. This is the typical method for normal configuration changes to be applied to the POS stations. The other methods are provided for emergency change scenarios when changes must be applied immediately.
Manually from the POS
This method enables store personnel to initiate a configuration update to all POS stations for the location. Use this method if the change cannot wait until start of day to auto apply.
Manually from SkyTab Multi-Location Management
An Enterprise user can initiate a configuration update to all locations or a targeted set of locations.
The Publish to POS button can be accessed from the Locations Menu.
Pressing the button presents a list of locations for publication.
Selecting a location provides a view of pending changes that will be sent.
Pressing the Publish button will prompt for confirmation before publishing.
Important: This will cause all stations in the targeted locations to perform the action and can impact current open orders.
