server would have to enter their password before the function could be
performed.

We will learn more about the security aspect in a later section where
passwords and authority levels will be covered.

This ends the server file explanation.

The next section on the sub menu is table file.

The functionality of the tables on these machines covers everything our
customers have requested. For example you can start a bar transaction
then  when the customer asks for this to be transferred to a table it is
just a case of pressing the table number. the screen then prompts the
server to confirm.
There are a host of other features related to the tables such as
displaying all open tables with one key entry.
Merging tables, Splitting tables, Reports for  table analysis and so on.

The table name can be up to 21 characters long this will be printed on
the kitchen printer informing the staff where to deliver the meal to.

There is a selection for each table to be account type yes or no.
You would set up the table for account type no, if it is to be used in a
restaurant application. This would then inform the Server, if tables are
left open when taking a close session report, giving the server a chance
to finalise this table if require.
On the other hand  Account type would be set to yes if the table was to
be used as an account customer or a hotel room, When a close
session report is taken Account types remain in the system without
informing the server on screen. 

The final selection on the sub menu is bar-code file in this area you
would assign bar-codes to product codes.
You can assign more than one bar code to each product this is to offer
more flexibility.

This completes the programming under file maintenance.
