Front Systems POS settings for iPad

The below settings should be activated on your iPad before you install the Front Systems app from AppStore. 

Activate Location Services

1. Open the Settings app, and then tap Privacy
2. Select Location Services and check the Location Services box 

Restrict the Front Systems app from being deleted

Since the Front Systems app is a business-critical app, the app should never be deleted unless utterly necessary. Therefore, a lock should be set to prevent employees from deleting the app. 

1. Open the Settings app, and then tap Screen Time
2. Select iTunes & App Store Purchases
3. Under the Store Purchases & Redownloads section, tap Deleting Apps.
4. On the subsequent screen, tap Don't Allow

Activate automatic updates of the Front Systems app

The Front Systems app is under constant development. Therefore, we recommend turning on automatic updates of the app. In that way, you are sure to always use the most recent app with the latest features and improvements. 

1. Open Settings and select iTunes and App Store
2. Check the box for Apps

Activate GPS Location

We recommend that the GPS is activated on the iPad. In that way, the time zone on the iPad will automatically be set to the location of the store. 

1. Open Settings and select your AppleID on the top.
2. Tap Find My and check the Share My Location box.

Activate automatic time and time zone

We recommend that automatic time and time zone is activated on the iPad, so that you get the correct time zone settings. 

1. Open Settings and select General
2. Tab Date & Time and check the Set Automatically box

Create text replacements (shortcuts)

You can create text replacements to save time on typing text, e.g. create a text replacement for your user name. Let's say your username is johndoe@frontsystems.no. You can then add a text replacement to get suggestions instead of typing the full username. Watch the example video below.
