You activate the customized layouts you create for your locations using Event Schedule. For each layout, you must assign an ‘Activate Layout Override’ event to notify the system to use the customized layout, and a ‘Disable Layout Override’ event to revert back to the default layout before the end-of-day, if necessary.

How you are using the Event Schedule function determines whether you add new events to an existing event schedule or add them to a new event schedule you create. For the purposes of this document, we assume you use one event schedule to which you add all events.

To activate a custom layout:

• Select Maintenance > System Settings > Event Schedule.
• Select an existing event schedule, if different than the active schedule.
• Select the Events tab.
• Click the Add drop-down arrow, select Activate Layout Override, and click OK.
• Select the frequency of the event from the ‘Activation schedule’ drop-down list. Your choices are ‘None,’ ‘Always,’ ‘EOD,’ or ‘EOD Daily.’
• Select whether you want to assign the layout to a type of chit or the guest check from the ‘Override layout type’ drop-down list under the ‘Activate Layout Override’ group bar.
• Select the desired layout from the ‘Override layout selection’ drop-down list.
• If the layout needs to discontinue prior to the end-of-day, click the Add drop-down arrow again, select Disable Layout Override, and click OK.
• Select the frequency of the event from the ‘Activation schedule’ drop-down list. Your choices are ‘None,’ ‘Always,’ ‘EOD,’ or ‘EOD Daily.’
• Select the layout to disable from the ‘Override layout type’ drop-down list under the ‘Activate Layout Override’ group bar.
• Select the same layout from the ‘Override layout selection’ drop-down list.
• Click Save in the Command panel.
• Repeat this procedure for other layout overrides you want to activate or disable.
• Click Close in the Command panel to exit the Event Schedule function.
