How To - Using the Utilities Menu

The Utilities menu is accessible from the icon in the top-right of the window.

The toolbar links include:

• Log Out: Allows users to log out of Tables (to secure the application or switch users.)
• Announcements: Displays the latest messages.
• Print: Allows users to print a hard copy of walk-ins, today’s reservations and seated guest list. All account information including notes and special requests are displayed as shown on the following page.
  

  

  
  

  With a print out of the current status of every customer on site, good customer service can be maintained even when network problems prevent synchronised working.

  By default, telephone numbers will not be printed. To add telephone numbers, select the Include Telephone Numbers check-box.

  When a network problem arises, the print dialog will be displayed with an additional notification to alert users to the fact that they will need to work from cached information until the network is restored. Following the resolution of network problems, the Tables database will be updated from Aztec. (The system assumes that Aztec will contain the most accurate and up-to-date information.)
