How to enable the automatic button creation feature in Vatrix POS

One-line answer: Automatic button creation builds a
touch button for every item in your Item Master in one click, grouped by
category, so a button-based POS screen (Restaurant, Retail 2nd Edition,
Salon, Laundry) is ready without manual work. It is also available in
Retail, Weigh Scale and ERP editions when the button invoice form is
used.

Before you start

• Items must already exist in Master → Item Master
  with a Category and, ideally, a short Button
  Name.
• In Admin → Settings → POS Settings, set POS
  Inv Form Option to the button (touch) invoice form.
• Log in as admin.

Steps

1. Open Master → Item Master.
2. Click ITEM BUTTON MANAGER. The Quick Access Item
   screen opens showing Item Quick Access Buttons and
   Category Management.
3. Click Generate Auto Item Button. Vatrix creates one
   button per item and one category tab per category.
4. Choose the Item Button Order: As
   Created or Alphabetical
   (Ascending / Descending).
5. Set Button Size (Width,
   Height) or tick Auto Scale Size, then
   click Apply Size or Update All Button
   Size.
6. Choose whether to show the price on buttons with Item Price
   In Button (SP or SP+VAT, or
   None).
7. Click Refresh and close the screen.
8. Open Transaction → POS Invoice. The buttons appear
   by category.

Check it worked

Every item with a category has a button. Tap one and it adds the item
to the invoice with its price.

Common problems

• Some items have no button → They have no Category
  in Item Master. Add a category and run Generate Auto Item Button
  again.
• Button text is too long → Set a short
  Button Name in Item Master, or reduce Button
  Font Size in the Button Manager.
• New items do not get buttons → Run Generate
  Auto Item Button again after adding items; only new items are
  added.
