Sale Tabs
The 4 "Tabs" which display at the bottom of the sale area are known as Sale Tabs. These allow you to switch between active sales.

For example, normally POS Operators would be using the "Sale 1" tab. A customer realises half way through the Operator processing their sale that they have left their wallet in their car. The POS Operator can switch to Sale 2 or Sale 3 and process another sale until the customer returns from his or her car with their wallet. The POS Operator can then switch back to Sale 1 and complete their sale.

Up to four sales can be mid-process at any given time.

When an unfinalised sale is present in any of the Tabs, the Subtotal for that sale is shown in that area instead of "Order 2" etc.

Input Area
The Input Area displays the "buffer" in which entered characters are stored. For example, the POS Operator can enter a Product Lookup Number via numeric touch buttons and press a "Product" button. As each numeric touch button is pressed, it's information is added to the end of the Input Area data.

When the "Product" button is pressed (this would have a "Product" event assigned to it), the information stored in the Input Area is used as the Product Lookup Number, the product is selected (if the PLU is correct) and the Input Area data is cleared. The Input Area data can be cleared by tapping a Touch Button or a keyboard key with the "Clear" event assigned to it.

Terminal Information
The Terminal Information area displays the current Time, Date, Logged on Clerk, Terminal Machine Name and the current connection status of SELLmatix. When information is being sent to and from the SELLmatix program, the "Net Stat" will change to "online", otherwise when sitting dormant, it will display "Listening" - ie. listening for a connection from some other machine.
