Configure Location-Level Menu Data and User Permissions for SkyTab Multi-Location Management

Description: Learn how to enable location-specific menu data creation and allow users to manage the menu in SkyTab Multi-Location Management.

---

When to Use Location-Specific Menu Data

Create menu data (items, departments, etc.) at the location level when:

• A location needs different pricing, coursing, tax settings, availability, etc.
• You want to override the default Enterprise settings for just one or a few locations.

Note: Any data created or overridden at the location level will not affect other locations unless promoted or replicated through Enterprise-level tools.

For guidance on creating overrides, visit the Manage Data Inheritance and Overrides article. 

Enable Location-Level Menu Data

To enable the location to create menu data:

1. Navigate to Enterprise > Locations.
   
2. Select the location to access its permissions.
3. On the Edit Location screen, open the "Allow Local Data Creation" dropdown and select the appropriate checkbox based on the data type (Items, Departments, Modifiers, etc).
   
4. Select Save.

Enable User Permissions

For general user management, visit the Manage Users and Set Permissions article.

To grant a user permission to manage menu data:

1. Navigate to Settings > Users.
   
2. Select an existing user or choose Add User to create a new one.
3. Go to the Permissions tab.
4. Expand the Product Settings dropdown, then expand SkyTab POS.
5. Select the checkbox for "Manage the menu."
   
6. Select Save.

For more information, visit the Security Settings article.

Manage Data at the Location Level

Once location data creation is enabled:

1. Select the location from the hierarchy navigation panel in Enterprise.
   
2. Any data created while this location is selected will apply only to that location.
3. Use the ownership filter to choose between:
   • Viewing only data created for this specific location, or
   • Viewing all data inherited from higher levels
     

For more information, visit the Manage Data Inheritance and Overrides article.

Override a Value for a Location

To override inherited data for a specific location:

1. Navigate to Enterprise > Locations
   
2. Select the location to open its permissions and enable the specific menu overrides you want (Items, Departments, Modifiers, etc.).
   
3. Select Save.
4. Once enabled, you can override certain attributes for that location, replacing the inherited values.
5. To revert to the inherited value, simply reset the override.
