Welcome
Welcome to the 9700 Property Maintenance Guide. Your 9700 System database
has been created to reflect the unique requirements of your property. The chapters
in this guide will provide you with basic instructions on how to maintain and
update your 9700 System database on an “as needed” basis.
Your 9700 System Property Experts should be familiar with the design of the
database. They will be responsible for routine database maintenance, such as
adding and modifying menu item and employee records.
The chapters in the 9700 Property Maintenance Guide cover these topics:

Introduction
Welcome
Most forms can be printed, however, they can only be printed in Table View
mode. All Table View printing is set, by default, to print in portrait format.
Basics
This section covers the basic navigation elements in the 9700 Remote
Management Console.
Directory Tree
The directory tree contains all of the folders and files that comprise the
9700 Remote Management Console. To navigate to a selection, you can
point and click with the mouse or use the arrow keys on the keyboard to
move between the folders in the directory tree.
To make a selection, you can:
w Click on a + sign or press the Space Bar to expand a folder and view
its contents (files).
Folders
A folder contains all components related to the
selected module in the 9700 Remote Management
Console. For example, System Information is a
folder on the directory tree. It contains eight files.
If you right-click on a folder, you will see the
following options:
If you use the Hide option, click the icon to re-display the
Navigation Window at any time.
Files
A file contains one or more forms with fields,
buttons, and tabs to access and program features and
functionality. For example, Taxes is a file in the
System Information folder.
If you right-click on a folder, you will see the
following options:
1-4
Introduction
Welcome
If you use the Hide option, click the icon to re-display the
Navigation Window at any time.
Forms
A form is the generic term for the screen that displays when you open a
file. Many of the forms in the 9700 Remote Management Console can be
viewed in two modes: Form View (the GUI, which displays the traditional
fields, check boxes, drop-down lists, etc.) and Table View (the SQL
database table). All forms will open in Form View. From there, you can
change it to Table View, if it is available for the selected form.
If a form is available in Table View, the icon will be active in the
Toolbar. A simple click on this icon will toggle the form back and forth
from Form View to Table View.
Where applicable, Form View will warn you of possible data
inconsistencies and incomplete entries. In addition, it will prevent you
from enabling certain options at the same time. For example, if you are
setting up a Preset Percentage Discount, the Amount field is
automatically disabled on the form.
Tabs
If a file consists of more than one “page”
(form), tabs automatically display. The
tabs are used to access each form in the
file. Click once on a tab to access its form.
For example, Tax Class is a tab in the Taxes file. It includes tax class
names and their tax types.
Sections
A section is a labeled portion of a form that identifies a specific group of
elements.
For example, the Global Tax Options section on the General tab in the
Taxes file defines how the system should apply tax, and the non-tax
descriptor that will display on financial reports.
Menu Bar
The Menu Bar provides support for the most
common functions and tasks, such as print,
save, undo, insert, and record navigation.
As you navigate the 9700 Remote Management Console, the Menu Bar
remains static. No matter where you are in the software, these selections
will always display. When a particular selection is not available, it will be
disabled (inactive).
The Toolbar contains icons which provide one-click access to the same
common functions and tasks that are found in the Menu Bar selections.
Toolbar
The Click here to move the Toolbar to another position.
Toolbar
contains
icons
which provide one-click access to the same common functions and tasks
in the Menu Bar. Depending on where you are in the system, if a
particular selection is not available, it will be disabled (inactive).
The Toolbar displays on the main screen, below the Menu Bar by default.
You can move it to another location on the screen (e.g., to the bottom of
the main screen)—just click the thin gray vertical bar next to the Save
icon, and drag it to another position.

1. When block copying and inserting menu items into a different Revenue
Center, Menu Item Master records must already exist before Menu Item
Definition records can be inserted.
2. When block copying and inserting menu items into a different Revenue Cen-
ter, Menu Item Definition records must already exist before Menu Item Price
records can be inserted.
3. When using Block Copy/Insert, the modifications to the database are immedi-
ately saved.
4. You must have access level permissions to Edit and Add records to use the
Block Copy/Insert feature.
5. If a menu item has multiple definitions, you must copy all of its definitions.
Otherwise, an error message will display when you attempt to insert the cop-
ied data.
For example, if MI Number 101, Filet Mignon, has two definitions (e.g., two
different prices), you must copy both records for MI Number 101.
6. The size of the block being copied does not have to be the exact size of the
destination area. Prior to Version 2.50, the blocks had to be identical in size.
7. To block copy/insert:
w Click in the far-left grey column and highlight all cells in the selected
row(s).
w Select Edit | Copy from the Menu Bar, or use Ctrl+C or [F3].

Devices
Devices are set up and maintained in System Hardware | Devices. The Devices
file contains all 9700 devices (PCs, workstations, slip printers, VDUs, etc.).
Sorting Devices
The Devices file consists of three “Sortt By” criteria—By Connection, By Type/
Subtype, and By Location Descriptor.
This sorting mechanism can organize the Devices tree view, to help someone new
to the property find and identify specific hardware devices.

Setting Up Devices
It is recommended to set up devices following this hierarchy:
w Servers (PCs)
As you select a device to add, the form that displays will change, depending on
your device selection. Each device that you add will display in the Devices tree to
the left of the form. Devices that are added, but not linked to another device are
automatically assigned under the Inactive Devices folder (shown above, right).
The “+” sign to the left of a device name indicates that there are other devices
linked to that device (i.e., a PC may have NetCCs and SCCs linked to it). To
display the linked devices, click the “+” sign.

Class Form
The Class form defines the general operational characteristics which are shared
among a group of employees with similar duties, such as servers or managers.
Using classes eliminates the redundancy of having to repeat the same information
for each employee.
This form is your starting point if you are setting up employees in a blank
database. All employees must be linked to a class. If your database is already
programmed, some classes will exist, but you can always add more.
In the Class form, you will define the transaction, supervisory, time clock, access
level, and other privileges an employee class has when using the system.
When you select Sort By: Class, the following form displays:
w General—This form defines the employee class name and number, its

The Employee form defines specific information about each employee in the
system, such as name and address, ID number, Payroll ID (e.g., Social Security
Number), Revenue Center assignment, and class.
All employees must be linked to a class. It is recommended to set up employee
classes before you define your employees.
When you select Sort By: Employee, the following form displays:
w Job Codes/Pay Rates—This form defines the job categories and their
specific wage rates that can be linked to each employee. These job categories

assigned up to eight different job codes. The regular and overtime pay rates
for each job code are specific to each employee.
Operator Form
The Operator form defines the individual operational characteristics of an
employee linked to a specific Revenue Center. An operator is an employee who is
privileged to place orders. Examples of operators may include servers or other
order takers who record sales. Each operator maintains a set of sales totals.
When you select Sort By: Operator, the following form displays:
w General—This form defines the tracking group totals, cashier link selections,
and default touchscreen and cash drawer assignments for a selected employee.
