KEY CHANGES

From 5th August 2018 all of a version’s KEY CHANGES will be published and available online only.

Like our recent move from having to download a new document to see a list of changes for each release we have moved to publishing a dynamic Release Note page.

For a full Change list go to Release Note List page

The uniCenta oPOS v4.6 Configuration>Database Setup screen has changed a little and the connection to your database server is now broken down into 2 x distinct steps.

Before you start a MySQL database server must be installed, properly configured and available.
A DB User with valid permissions must also be available.

Establish the connection

Enter a valid DB User’s credentials to use for this connection to uniCenta oPOS and click the 1 CONNECT button.

If the connection is successful, two things happen:

  • The database server version will be displayed. Remember MySQL v5.7 is recommended. MySQL v8 is not supported.
  • All of the available Databases will be displayed in the drop-down list.

Select a database from the list and click the 2 SET button

The default name for a uniCenta oPOS database is unicentaopos
If you want to you can use the CREATE DEFAULT button to automatically create it if it doesn’t exist.

For Multi-DB use, flip the ON/OFF switch and apply the same process.

TABLES

Three additional fields have been introduced in the Maintenance>Tables form.

  • Seats
  • Button Width
  • Button Height

Seats

Introduced to start the Guest management functionality which we’ll introduce in a future version.

Seats sets the default seating capacity for the table.
This can be overridden in the Sales Screen during any order and is also visible on the Table Floor plan screen – if enabled.
