How is POS different from BROWSE mode?
How is POS different from BROWSE mode?Browse mode is the default. The idea is you start with a Category of items, and then browse to find items that are available. It can be used to process either advanced bookings or walk-ins (i.e. starting now).
POS mode is a quicker mode for when you have walk-ins . You start with an item ID. It assumes the rental is happening right now. Versatility is traded off for speed.
| Browse | POS | |
| advanced bookings | ✔ | ✖ |
| any duration rental | ✔ | ✖ |
| walk-ins | ✔ | ✔ |
| start with | Category | Item ID |
| versatility | ✔ | ✖ |
| speed | ✖ | ✔ |
| clicks to rent | 5 clicks | 3 clicks |
N.B. it is easy to switch between your BROWSE mode and POS mode:
either with the icons top left or the tabs within the 'When' section.
