Script Editor Module

The Script Editor module provides the ability to set up special (user-selected) entry procedures for inputting specific line items, called "Scripted Items", at the point of sale. These procedures, called "Scripts", may include any combination of special reminder messages, on-screen prompts to enter data, tag-along items (automatic or prompted), component items ("kitting"), and suggested alternate items when out of stock. Each inventory item may have its own unique Script(s).

This powerful module adds features that will benefit most any business using Keystroke.

Triggered by the entry of a primary item, Keystroke will run the Scripts you have specified for that Scripted Item. A Script can be as little as a brief reminder to the Clerk to ask the Customer for a delivery address, or as much as the addition of dozens of tag-along items. An example usage for Scripts is for selling a computer: the system can prompt the Clerk with choices for the size of case, hard drive, monitor, etc. Based on the selections, the system will automatically adjust the price of the Scripted Item (or each component can be priced separately on the Invoice).  The selected components can even be indented or printed in a condensed font on the Invoice.

The Script Editor can be used (Keystroke Versions 6 and 5 only) to define Start Sale and End Sale Scripts to run at the beginning or end of every sales transaction. Master Scripts can also be assigned to entire Departments, Categories, or Locations. A variety of powerful Script settings are also available including: Run Once Per Transaction, Default Customer Only, Run Script from Item and Select Comments from Item.
