Version numbers
The "About" option opens a panel displaying the installed Symphony Pro version number, useful for
obtaining technical support information. Since Symphony Pro contains a number of separate utilities
with version numbers, the about also provides a quick list of all application version numbers. With the
"About" panel open on screen, click the Symphony Pro icon. This opens a list of all the version
numbers for the Symphony Pro programs. This also creates a text file that can be printed and faxed, or
emailed as an attachment to help the technical support process.
4 Maintenance Application
Symphony Pro Maintenance Application Overview
The Maintenance application is used to control all data that is used on front-end Symphony POS
terminals. The Maintenance menus provide access to all data tables required for store operations. The
data tables are divided into categories such as item information (PLU), customer account information,
and front end system information, such as operators. The Maintenance application menus are divided
into these categories as well, to simplify user access.
The Maintenance application is also used to control data that is used on the TEC ECRs. The data
tables are divided into categories such as PLU, customer account information, and cashiers. The
Maintenance application menus are divided into these categories as well, to simplify user access.
Like the Symphony Pro desktop, the Maintenance application's title bar displays the application's
name and logged user name. The Maintenance desktop also provides icons that represent the most
commonly used options. In other words, you can access options either by clicking the icon, or opening
the menu and selecting the option from that menu's option list.
The Maintenance application menus are dynamic, and change depending on the category of data that
you are accessing. For example, when no data tables are open for editing, the maintenance "File "
menu allows login, logout, bubble-help on / off toggle and execution of an SQL command line.
Launching a data table editor (PLU for example) causes the "File " menu to change content to include
options specific to PLU maintenance.
The Maintenance application provides a common set of editing tools, even though the table editor
changes content according to the data table being edited.
NOTE: If you leave the Maintenance application open but inactive (not being used) for more than 10
minutes, it will automatically close. This is because the Maintenance application accesses data
tables, locking them to prevent simultaneous access. If there are data tables open and modified, the
changes will be saved .
