Why are there two sides to the software?
SimpleConsign is broken into two different sections of the software - Back Office and Terminals. By splitting the software into an administrative portion and a cashier portion you can restrict who has access to your settings, reports, and snapshot information.
Back Office
The Back Office is for administrative purposes, allowing you to change store settings, view reports, add employees, change store details, and get store snapshots. Individual users can be restricted to specific locations as determined by their user settings.
Access to the Back Office is only granted to users at the Manager level and above.
Terminal
The Terminals are for completing transactions, adding or withdrawing cash, returns, and changes specific to a location. This is a location specific section of the software. If your store has multiple physical locations you will have Terminals set up for each location.
What They Have In Common
You can complete the following actions in either the Back Office or a Terminal:
- Add, edit, and change
- Consignors
- Consignor items
- Store inventory
- Customers
- View Transactions
Save and Close buttons disabled / Missing
You sign into a terminal and double click on an item and the buttons at the bottom of the window are disabled or missing this means the user account you are logged into is not an admin account. Terminals are location specific. You can only change information in the terminal you are logged into.
