Summary
Configure prep stations directly in Selio KDS so screens can show work by seller, prep station, and display mode.
Before you begin
- Open Selio KDS where prep stations are configured
- Know the seller connected to the station
- Know the prep station name and display mode
- Decide whether products or categories should route to more than one prep station
- Decide whether one KDS screen should show multiple prep stations
Steps
- Open the prep-station configuration in Selio KDS.
- Create or edit the station entry.
- Set the station name.
- Select the seller.
- Select the prep station.
- Select the display mode.
- Assign products or categories to the required prep stations when they need to appear in more than one place.
- Confirm one KDS screen can show the prep stations it needs.
- Test the change; prep-station updates apply in real time.
Troubleshooting
- A station does not show expected work: Confirm the seller, prep station, and display mode.
- A product or category should appear in multiple places: Assign it to each required prep station.
- One screen needs more than one station: Confirm the screen is configured to show the required prep stations.
- A change does not appear immediately: Retest the assignment and device connection, because prep-station changes are expected in real time.
