📄How to Create and Edit a KeyList

This article covers a step-by-step guide to Creating and Editing KeyLists in BackOffice.

Overview

KeyLists are created within BackOffice to Group together different Products that do not necessarily have any common features.

A KeyList can be used in a number of ways, some of which may include: 

  • Grouping together a select assortment of Products within a Product Group (e.g. local wine)
  • Grouping together the same Sizes of Products to display together (e.g. all Pots of beer) 
  • Grouping together menu items which are featured together (e.g. Daily Specials or Seasonal Favorites)
  • Grouping together any Products that are not grouped together within the BackOffice Product List (e.g. Lunch Specials and glasses of Wine) 

Prerequisites 

  • Operator Privilege to access BackOffice
  • Operator Privilege to Maintain Keymap Settings
 

Creating a KeyList

  • To Create a Keylist, log into the BackOffice and follow the steps:
    1. From the Maintenance menu, select  Product KeyMaps
    2. Click on the View/Edit KeyLists button in the Header Section


    • This will open a new window titled KeyList Names
    • Click the Add A New KeyList button in the Header Section


    • A prompt will appear asking to Enter the Name of the KeyList 

    • Tap 'Clear' and/or enter the KeyList Name, and Click on the OK button
    • A new window will open titled KeyList Item List which will display a list of all the Products added to the KeyList

    • To get started, click the Add Another Product button in the Header Section

    • Navigate through the Product List and select the Product to Add to the KeyList either by double-clicking on the Product or by highlighting the Product and clicking the Select Product button in the Header Section
    • If the selected Product has multiple Sizes, a prompt will appear to select the size:

    • Select the size either by double-clicking on the Size or highlighting the Size and clicking the Select Size button in the Header Section
    • If no size is selected; i.e., "Select Size" is chosen, SmartPOS will prompt Operators to select a Size when the Product is being sold from the Till
    • Repeat these steps to Add all of the Products and their required Sizes to the KeyList
    • When finished, click on the Exit KeyList button which will Save the updated KeyList
