Micros 3700 - Message of the Day

[MZ117]

Good Evening, All!

My question is, "Does Micros 3700 support a 'Message of the Day' similar to Aloha?

The work around I'm using right now are several buttons with large Arial text saying a few words each across the login screen for employees to see, but trying to put daily specials, soups, etc. on the login screen. Our other system (other locations) offer a Daily/Weekly message feature, but I can't seem to find anything remotely similar in Micros 3700 Configurator...​

Thanks in advance!

Not to my knowledge. There are the help screens or you can make a custom login screen and put some text on it....but both are limited compared to what you are asking about.

That depends. Most of the locations I program have a 'Message of the Day' that only shows up when the employee logs in. After that, they have a 'Specials' button they can hit to get that popup back if they forget. Pushing a button is easy enough using the Information Screens, but for the popup on login you will have to create a SIM (and no, you don't need a SIM license for a local SIM like this).

Simple to do it:

event clockin
loadkybdmacro makekeys (1)
loadkybdmacro key(1, 655370)
endevent


Just replace the 1 with whichever information screen you want it to display.

Thanks to both!

@Moregelen,

So, for your suggestion (Daily Specials) button, how do I program the daily specials? Do I create a text or help/input file? (I understand the SIM so thanks!)​

Thanks!

For the daily specials go to System in the Configurator and then Information Screens.

Here is a picture of the one I have set up on my lab's image.

So if you wanted the sim to show the daily specials when they clock in it would be:

event clockin
loadkybdmacro makekeys (2)
loadkybdmacro key(1, 655370)
endevent

Thank you! I never even looked at the information screen button until now!
