Input generated by devices such as touch screens and keyboards can be used to produce a range of functions in SELLmatix.
The Edit Input Data dialog which appears below is used to specify what function will be performed when that input from a
keyboard or touching/clicking on a particular touch button occurs.
The "Type" entry indicates what general category of function will be performed by this input.
The "Data" and "Type Data" boxes allow you to enter additional information which controls
the way this function is performed.
The actual data entered in these boxes depends on the Type of input. In only a few cases are both of these used.
In general, the "Data" box allows you to specify information that could immediately have been keyed before a
function was performed. For example, most configurations have a "PLU" button. Such a button would be set up
by selecting "Product" as the Input Type with no "Data" or "Type Data". To sell PLU Number 687, the operator
would enter "6", "8", "7" and then press the "PLU" button.
To create a "One Key PLU" where selling this product required only one touch or keystroke, you would create an item
where the "Type" was "Product" and the "Data" contained "687".
The following is a table showing the various Input Types, a description of what they do, and the "Data" and
"Type Data" that is applicable to each Input Type.
