Enable or Disable Mouse Cursor on Simphony Workstations

Description: Learn to enable or disable the mouse cursor on a Simphony workstation. This setting is commonly turned on for PC-based stations (e.g., hostess desks) and turned off for Oracle MICROS hardware (e.g., WS4).

---

Some Simphony workstations (especially PC-based setups) need the mouse cursor visible for navigation. By default, Oracle MICROS terminals hide the cursor. Use this setting to toggle the cursor display per workstation.
