Gift Certificate Transactions Export Interface Setup

Complete the following to export Gift Certificate Transactions to a Property Management System:

Navigate to the System Setup option in the Side menu in BackOffice and click on Venue, Stores & Tills
This will open the Venue, Stores & Tills tab with a list of Venues on the left side of the window
Select the desired Till / WorkStation from the list available and click on the Add New Device option from the toolbar
Select Blank Device from the pop-window and click on the Select Device option on the top menu
This will open the Device and Interface Maintenance window which can be set up to export Gift Certificate transactions

Change the Device Type option to 'Transaction Queue'
This will present new options which include External DLL Name and Class Name
Now, change the External DLL Name drop-down option to Transqrooms.Dll which will auto-set the Class Name option to FIAS
Enter a name for the device in the Device Name field

The OtherProc Flag Value drop-down menu is optional which allows for setting the Processor to use for exporting the transactions to a Property Management System when no other transaction processors are running (e.g. Transaction Export, etc.)
Users can select from the available list of Processors

Note: If the OtherProc Flag Value is left blank, then the Smart Controller will wait for the current processor to be available and then exports the transactions to the Property Management System
