Create a Table Area

Create a Table Area

Table Areas are groups that tie related tables and floor plans to a specific department within FullCount. Because most departments only require one, new table areas are only needed when a new department is created. Create a new table area using the following steps:

*NOTE: If you simply need to create a new table button for the Touchscreen, see the instructions HERE.
 

  1. Select the Admin Center button.
     
  2. Select the Tables tab.
     
  3. Choose the Table Areas subtab.
     
  4. Click the New Table Area button.
     


 

*NOTE: Fields with an asterisk (*) are required.

  1. Enter the new table area information in the following fields:
  • Department* – From the drop-down options, choose an existing department to which this new table area will be assigned.
  • Sort Order – Assign a Sort Order to the new table area.
  • Description* – Enter the name of the new table area as it will appear in the Back Office.
  • Screen Description* – Enter the name of the new table area as it will appear on the Touchscreen.
  • Effective Start Date – Select a date when the table area should appear on the Touchscreen. The current date will be selected by default.

*NOTE: Do not enter an Effective End Date when creating a new table area.
 


 

*NOTE: The Tables Linked to this Table Area section will fill in as tables are later created.

  1. Click Save and Close.

The new table area will be available on the Touchscreen on the chosen effective start date. Before it can be used, however, it must be assigned new tables.
