Hardware Maintenance

Hardware Maintenance allows you to insert, update and delete your hardware definitions. Once defined, these hardware definitions may then be linked to one or more of your APOS devices.

The maintenance screen is divided into the following three sections:

Maintenance Grid

The grid area displays the currently defined hardware. All fields are display-only and all modifications to hardware items must be done by selecting the item row and modifying the fields in the data entry area. Once the focus is within the grid area, you may use the arrow-up and arrow-down keys to navigate through each of the rows. All defined values for the selected item will be displayed dynamically in the data entry area.

	Item Row Maintenance
	Right clicking on any of the row numbers will display a pop-up menu that will allow you Delete, Insert or Duplicate a row. Rows may also be deleted, inserted or duplicated by using the delete, insert or duplicate buttons in the buttons area.

Select All

Clicking on the upper left corner of the grid will select all hardware. To select multiple contiguous rows, select the first row then press down the SHIFT key on your keyboard and while the SHIFT key is pressed, select the last row in your range. To select multiple rows that are not contiguous, select the first row then press down the CTRL key on your keyboard and while the the CTRL key is pressed, select each subsequent rows that you want to include in the selection. Once you are done selecting all your rows, you can release the CTRL key. All data edits or option changes will be applied to all selected rows. Pressing on the Delete button while in multi-select mode will delete all selected hardware.

	Column Sort
	Clicking on a column header will sort the rows either in ascending or descending order, A small arrow at the top of the column will point up for ascending or down for descending order.

Data Entry

The data entry area dynamically displays the currently selected hardware item based on the hardware model and connection type chosen.

	Hardware Id
	Enter a unique integer value to identify the hardware. Required field. Duplicates not allowed. When modifying Hardware Ids, a warning message will be displayed indicating that any references to the hardware will be lost when the changes are saved.

This means that the scanner will still work if it sends or does not send leading zeros. However, if the scanner is set up to not send check digits, then bar codes in the system need to be created without check digits and Setting 31 - "Validate Check Digit for Scanned Products" must be disabled. Please refer to the manufacturers manual or manufacturers website for setup instructions and scan-able setup bar codes.
