In a multi-workstation retail location, it is common for multiple employees to work the same register during the day.

It is very important you enable security in POS.  To do so, go to Company Preferences and in General Preferences check the box, require users to log in.  POS will prompt you to set up a Sysadmin password.  We recommend that it be a complex password, meaning a combination of numbers, letters and special characters. You should only use the Sysadmin account to create other login accounts.  Once you have enabled security, go to the Employee menu and Employee List.  Click New Employee and then set up the employee’s login and then click create password.   “Best Practices” mandate that each employee has a separate login and must never share their password.  Sharing passwords should be prohibited by written company policy and reinforced with each employee.  Let your employees know that they are responsible for their Till and any shortages.
