Promotional slide shows are selected by terminal in Terminal Config. There are three promotional slide shows and two staff training slide shows and Message Board to choose from. The settings below are global so make sure that if multiple slide shows are being used that the number of slides included in each show are the same.
Start Slide Show In:
This will determine when the promotional slide show will begin. When the screen has not been touched for "X" amount of minutes the slide show will start.
Time Between Promo Slides:
This is the amount of time between slides.
Total Number of Slides:
How many slides are in this slide show. (If you put a higher number than there really are the screen will blink for any slides that do not exist. -very ugly. Make sure that if you are using multiple slide shows that you have the same amount of slides in each show.)
Message Board Line#1-10:
Enter a text message that you want to display under the heading "Notes & Specials on the Message Board along with any 86'd Items. The Message Board is useful for daily specials and general information the staff needs to know.
Note: This is another slide show option as defined in Terminal Options/Slide Show Type.
