Introduction
Welcome

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:

w Hardware—How to modify the System Hardware | Devices file.

w Menu Items—How to modify the Menu Items | Menu Item Maintenance file.

w Employees—How to modify the Personnel | Employee Maintenance file.

About the 9700 Remote Management Console


The look and feel of the 9700 Remote Management Console is based on the
familiar Windows environment. It incorporates folder-tree navigation, tabbed
dialog forms, and quick-view icons.
The two-paned window view allows you to swiftly move between forms and
database files, taking much of the effort out of programming your 9700 System. A
customized Toolbar adds to the 9700 Remote Management Console's ease of use,
by providing one-button access to common functions and tasks located in the
Menu Bar drop-down menus, such as print, save, undo, insert, and record
navigation. The Database and Utilities tabs at the bottom of the screen provide
easy access to the 9700 database files and reporting modules.

Form View vs. Table View


Many of the forms in the 9700 Remote Management Console can be viewed in
two modes: Form View (the GUI) 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.

1-2
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.

Navigation Window Click here to move the Navigation


Window to another position.
This is the left window pane that contains
the 9700 directory tree. Select a folder in
the directory tree to navigate to a specific
file.
The Navigation Window displays on the
left side of the main screen by default, but
you can move it to another location on the
screen (e.g., to the right side of the main
screen). Just click the thin gray horizontal
bar above the Navigation Window and drag
it to another position.
You may also choose to hide the
Navigation Window by selecting View |
Toggle Navigation from the Menu Bar. By
hiding the Navigation Window, the right
window pane will be resized to encompass
the entire screen.
To re-display the Navigation Window,
select View | Toggle Navigation again.

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).

w Double-click on a file to open it.

w Click on a - sign to collapse a folder.

9700 Property Maintenance Guide 1-3


Introduction
Welcome

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:

w Docking View—This selection allows you to move the Navigation


Window to another position (e.g., to the right side of the main screen).

w Hide—This selection functions the same as the (Toggle


Navigation) icon. It allows you to hide the Navigation Window,
which enables the right window pane to resize to encompass the
entire screen.

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:

w Open—This selection will open the selected file.

w Open in Secondary Pane—This selection allows you to view two


forms at the same time in a split screen. It will open the selected file
and display it in the lower half of the screen.

You can also open a secondary pane by simultaneously pressing the


Ctrl key and double-clicking on a file.

w Docking View—This selection allows you to move the Navigation


Window to another position (e.g., to the right side of the main screen).

Introduction
Welcome

w Hide—This selection functions the same as the (Toggle


Navigation) icon. It allows you to hide the Navigation Window,
which enables the right window pane to resize to encompass the
entire screen.

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.

Block Copy/Insert and Copy/Paste Functionality


To facilitate database maintenance, the Table View mode in the Remote
Management Console provides the functionality to block copy and insert new
database records, and copy and paste data into existing records.
These editing functions can be used to add data to another location in the same
file, or to the same file in a different Revenue Center (i.e., copy a block of menu
items from Revenue Center #1 and paste them into Revenue Center #2).

Click to switch from Form View to Table View.

Helpful Hints—Using Block Copy/Insert or Copy/Paste

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 Open the file that contains the records to be copied.

w Click to switch from Form View to Table View.

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].

w Go to the location to insert the copied records (in the same file, or in a
file in a different Revenue Center).

1-10
Introduction
Welcome

w Right-click in the far-left grey column. The entire row must be


highlighted to insert the records. The following menu displays:

w Select Insert Before to paste the record(s) above the highlighted


record.

w Select Insert After to paste the record(s) below the highlighted


record.

w Select Insert By Object Num to paste the record(s) in the


appropriate numerical location, determined by object number.

If an action is not allowed, it is disabled in the pop-up


menu.

For example, the Insert Before selection will be


disabled if you try to insert records prior to record
number 1.

8. You must have access level permissions to Edit and Add records to use the
Copy/Paste functions. These permissions apply to the usage of:

w the paste icon

w Ctrl+V

w [F4] MICROS hotkey

9. When using Copy/Paste, you can copy and paste a single cell, multiple cells,
or an entire row (all cells in the record).

10. When using Copy/Paste, you can use the Shift+Up/Down arrows or
Shift+Page Up/Down keys to select the data.

Hardware
Devices

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.

2-2
Hardware
Devices

w By Connection—This selection is the default, and the same view provided in


previous versions of the 9700. This selection provides a view of the system by
each device’s physical connection.

w By Type/Subtype—This selection provides a view of the system by device


type and subtype. Rather than having to know the device to which something
is connected, the user simply needs to know what kind of device it is, in order
to find it in the tree view. For example, workstations will display in a subtype
folder directly under a PC (type folder), rather than under an SCC, if you view
the devices By Connection.

Inactive devices (a broken link to a parent device, i.e., a workstation is not


linked to a PC) will display as an inactive device icon rather than its true
icon.

9700 Property Maintenance Guide 2-3


Hardware
Devices

w By Location Descriptor—This selection provides a view of the system by


the physical location of each device. Viewing devices by location allows a
user who is unfamiliar with the property to easily locate a particular
device, and understand the device hierarchy. Locations must be defined
before this sorting method can be used.

Setting Up Devices
It is recommended to set up devices following this hierarchy:

w Servers (PCs)

w Communications Devices (i.e., NetCCs, SCCs, and RCCs)

w Workstations, Printers, and VDUs

w Other (i.e., Disk Files and LDS)

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.

2-4
Hardware
Devices

Tree View
In tree view, the “+” sign to the left of an item indicates there are other records
linked to it. To display the linked records, expand the item by clicking the “+”
sign.

w A “+” sign to the left of a Major Group name indicates that there is at least
one Family Group linked to it.

w A“+” sign to the left of a Family Group name indicates at least one menu item
is linked to it.

w A “+” sign to the left of a Class name indicates that there is at least one menu
item linked to it.

The following example shows the Major Groups and Family Groups that exist in
the database, and the menu items which are linked to them.

Related Device Files


The other related files in the System Hardware module are:

w Order Devices—The Order Devices file defines the operating and default
characteristics of all local and remote order devices which are defined in the
Devices file.

Local devices are typically used to print requisition chits which are hand-
delivered to the person filling the order. Remote order devices typically print
or display (on a VDU) an order in the location where the order will be filled.

w Interface—The Interfaces file defines each type of service that


communicates with a 9700 System, such as: PMS interface, CA/EDC, Video
Security interface, SIM interface, and Table Management interface.

w International LDS—The International LDS (Liquor Dispensing System) file


defines the devices to which LDS sales are posted and printed.

w Credit Card Drivers—The Credit Card Drivers file defines the credit card
drivers used by the 9700 Sytem, and the Revenue Centers to which the drivers
are assigned.

Devices Forms
When you add a device, it will display in the Devices tree to the left of the form.

Menu Item Maintenance

Menu items are set up and maintained in Menu Items | Menu Item Maintenance.
The Menu Item Maintenance file consists of three menu item “Sort By” criteria—
Definition by Major/Family Group, Master by Major/Family Group, and Class.

The form that displays in the Menu Item Maintenance file depends on the Sort By
criteria you choose. Each Sort By selection displays a tree view, shown below.

Refer to pages 3-5 through 3-7 for descriptions of each Sort By criteria.

To help you set up your menu items, remember to use the context-
sensitive help. Right-click on a field or check box for a definition
of the selected element. A check box option is disabled if it is
empty, and enabled if it contains a check mark.

Definition, by Maj/Fam Grp


The Definition, by Maj/Fam Grp form defines the Major Group and Family Group
names, and up to 64 definitions per menu item, per Revenue Center. Menu item
definitions should be defined once master menu items have been created in the
Master, by Maj/Fam Grp form (described on page 3-6).
All menu items must belong to a Major Group and a Family Group—they are used
to categorize menu items for reporting purposes. Each group operates
independently, although they are often organized as if they are interdependent
(i.e., major groups are often considered the “parent” of a set of family groups).
When you sort by Definition, by Maj/Fam Grp, the following items display in the
tree view:

w Unassigned Menu Items—These are menu items that have not been assigned
to major groups and family groups.

w Unassigned Major Groups—These are major groups that have not been
assigned to menu items.

w Unassigned Family Groups—These are family groups that have not been
assigned to menu items.

w Major Groups—These are major groups that have assigned menu items.

Class
The Class form defines the general operational and printing characteristics which
are shared among a group of menu items. Using classes eliminates the redundancy
of having to repeat the same information for each menu item.
When you sort by Class, the following items display in the tree view:

w Unassigned Menu Items—These are menu items that have not been assigned
to classes.

w Regular—These are regular menu items.

w Condiment—These are condiment menu items that modify regular menu


items.

Regular and condiment menu items are determined using one of the following
methods on the Class form:

w On the General tab, in the Type Definition section, select option 2 if the item
is a condiment. If it is not selected, the item is a regular menu item.

Using these options is the same as using the Menu Item Type radio buttons on
the Condiment Groups tab. If you change the option here, the same change
will be reflected on the Condiment Groups tab.

-OR-

w On the Condiment Groups tab, in the Menu Item Type section, select one of
the radio buttons to define the item’s type.

Employee Maintenance

Employees are set up and maintained in Personnel | Employee Maintenance. The


Employee Maintenance file consists of three “Sort By” criteria—Class,
Employee, and Operator.

It is recommended to set up employees following this hierarchy (i.e., set up


classes before employees, and employees before operators). The form that
displays in the Employee Maintenance file depends on the sorting criteria you
choose.

w Class—The Class form defines the general operational characteristics of a


group of employees (see page 4-5). The Sort By window displays a tree view
of the classes (in alphabetical order) that exist in the database.

Class Name
Employee linked to class

Revenue Centers

The “+” sign to the left of the class name indicates that there are employees
linked to that class. To display the linked employees, expand the class group
by clicking the “+” sign.

If a “+” sign displays to the left of an employee name, at least one Revenue
Center is linked to that employee. To display the linked Revenue Centers,
expand the employee by clicking the “+” sign.

w Operator—The Operator form defines the individual operational


characteristics of an employee linked to a specific Revenue Center (see page
4-8). Employees can be linked to several Operator records if they have
different responsibilities in different Revenue Centers (e.g., an employee can
be a Bartender in one Revenue Center, and an Assistant Manager in another).
The Sort By window displays a tree view (in alphabetical order) of the
Revenue Centers that exist in the database.

Related Personnel Files


The other files in the Personnel module also link to employees. They are:

w Access Levels—Access levels define security level options for each


employee or a group of employees. These levels are used to allow or prohibit
specific users to perform functions such as adding, editing, and deleting
information, or accessing specific database files.

You can set up access levels prior to setting up employees, or vice-versa. All
employees must be assigned an access level.

Access levels are numbered 0 through 8. The lower the access level number,
the more access that is granted to the employee (e.g., an employee with an
access level of 3 can perform more functions than an employee with an access
level of 4 through 8).

w Cashiers (optional)—Cashier totals designation is used to assign


responsibility and accountability of revenue to individual operators. These
totals are used to balance the flow of money into and out of a UWS’s cash
drawer.

w Report Writer Access Levels—Report Writer access levels define security


level options for each employee or a group of employees. These levels are
used to allow or prohibit specific users to run and/or reset reports in the 9700
System.

w Job Code (optional)—Job codes are categories used to group employees to


track labor activity. Each employee can be linked to up to eight job codes.
Once job codes are set up, you can link them to employees in Employee
Maintenance | Sort By: Employee | Job Codes/Pay Rates.

w Schedules (optional)—Schedules are used to define when employees are


appointed to work and under which job code assignment. This schedule is
used for labor reporting purposes.
