User Defaults - Admin

The User Defaults - Admin maintenance screen allows you to set defaults for Users and Workstations.

User defaults

You can assign default batch codes, location ID, order category, and service zone to a selected user.

  1. Select 'User' in the Type drop-down list.
  2. Select a User ID for which you want to set defaults.
  3. You have the option to copy defaults from another user via the Copy From drop-down list.
  4. Select an application in the left-hand panel.
  5. In the right-hand panel, enter or select, as appropriate, default values for the option(s) listed.
  6. Save your settings.

Workstation Defaults

If you have workstations that use settings that are different than those you entered in the Payment Service Integration screens, you can set up Workstation defaults. Use this option to configure a workstation to use a credit card reader, show a print preview (for testing purposes) rather than printing a receipt, or set a workstation up for a different method of utilizing the payment service, such as retail workstations rather than MOTO (mail order/telephone order). You can configure certain workstations to use a Retail account by entering the applicable settings in the workstation defaults screen.

The options that can be set per workstation may differ depending on the payment service you are using. Options may include allowing manual entry, device type, print mode, prompting for signature, terminal ID, and lane ID, among others.

To set up workstation defaults, open the User Defaults – Admin function from the SM Company Setup menu.

  1. Select ‘Workstation’ as the Type of default from the drop-down list.
  2. In the Workstation field, if you are entering a new workstation, enter the workstation name into the field. If you are editing the workstation, select it from the drop-down list.
  3. If you are entering a new workstation, you have the option to copy defaults from another workstation by selecting an existing workstation in the Copy From drop-down list.

  4. The settings for the selected payment service are also available on the Payment Service Integration configuration screen for the payment service. Settings you select in the User Defaults – Admin function will override the global settings on the Payment Service Integration screen.

    The settings outlined in blue are only found on the User Defaults – Admin screen. The settings outlined in red appear in both screens.

    Vantiv/Worldpay

    OpenEdge

  5. If you want the workstation to use a credit card reader, such as in a retail situation, set the DeviceType value to ‘EMV’. If you set the DeviceType value to 'NONE', the user must enter credit card information manually.
  6. For Vantiv/Worldpay, if you set the DeviceType to ‘EMV’, and the device has been paired to a port using the Lane Manager function, enter the Lane ID for the device.
  7. By default, the workstation will print the receipt right after the card is processed. A PrintMode value of ‘PRINT’ or blank will perform the default action (print a receipt after the card is processed). If you want the workstation to display a print preview of the receipt, such as during testing, set the PrintMode value to 'DEMO'

    NOTE: The print preview of the receipt will not allow you to save or print the receipt. If you have archiving turned on in the SM business rules, a PDF of the receipt is saved as an archived document, which will allow you to retrieve the receipt if needed.

  8. If the workstation utilizes the payment service differently than others, such as a retail workstation rather than MOTO (mail order/telephone order), you can configure the workstation to use a Retail account by entering the applicable settings.
  9. When you are finished editing settings, click the Save button on the toolbar.

NOTE: To view the saved workstation defaults, you must close the User Defaults – Admin screen, then reopen it.
