Making Space to Add New Button

To add a new button to Z Register, you will need to ensure that your Register Layout has space available to add the new button. There are several ways to make space for a new button by:

• Removing an existing button
• Modifying the amount of columns/rows in a group
• Adding a new group/tab

Remove an existing button

If there is a function/existing button that you don't need on Z Register, you can remove it by selecting the button and pressing the Remove Function button.

In the example below, we'll be removing the Staff Discount Button:

Modifying the Amount of Rows/Columns of the Group

You can modify the amount of rows and columns or a particular group or the "tabs" in Z Register (e.g. in our screenshot, the two groups are: Main Menu, Additional Menu): 

To add more space, you'll need to modify the Group Settings on the right panel to either add additional Rows or Columns.

In the example below, we'll be modifying the Additional Menu group settings:

Add New Group/Tab

If you are currently happy with your current layout and don't want to remove or add columns/rows, you can add a new group or "tab" in Z Register. You can do so by clicking on the Add Group button:

In the example below, we're going to be adding a new group called Agencies:

You can change the Title and Background in the Group Settings section.

1. Press and drag the register function into an empty layout area:
   

   

2. You can change the Title, Background, Text Colour, Image and also add a Keyboard Shortcut for the function under Function Settings.

Add a Payment Button

Payment buttons can be added to the Payment Menu which you see when finishing a sale in Z Register:

Your payment menu will generally have the standard payment methods like Cash, EFTPOS etc. However, you are also able to add other payment methods and create a button for them in the Payment Menu for use at Z Register. 

To add a payment button:

1. In the Edit Register Layout, select the Payment Menu tab:
   
2. To add a new payment button you will need to ensure that your Payment Layout has space available to add the new button. Refer to Making Space to Add New Button on how to do this.

4. You can change the Title, Background, Text Colour, Image and also add a Keyboard Shortcut for the function using the Function Settings on the bottom right.
