PLU prompt pages
A post modifier lookup page is the prompt that appears when a PLU is ordered, so the server can choose a size or another sales modifier. It is not the same as a PLU prompt lookup page, which is for adding further PLUs or cooking instructions.

Start
Before you start
- Your sales modifiers, sizes and prices already set up — see [Setting up a sales modifier](/article/setting-up-a-sales-modifier).
- Access to the Touchscreen Editor in POS System Manager.
Creating the page
Step 1
Insert a new page
Open the Touchscreen Editor in POS System Manager and select the option to insert a new page.
Step 2
Name it and set the page type
Give it a name you will recognise later — Prompt – Slushie Size, for instance. Leave the columns and rows at their defaults, and in the Page Type drop-down choose Post Modifier Lookup Page. Select Save.
Step 3
Open it for editing
Double-click the page you have just created.
Step 4
Lay the page out
Format it as you want it. A clear heading at the top is worth adding, so staff know at a glance what they are being asked.
Step 5
Set up the buttons
For each action button, set Key Type to Sale Post Modifier Key, and in Settings point the Uses field at the modifier it should apply. Select Save and Close when the page is finished.
Attaching the page to a PLU
The page does nothing until a PLU knows to call it.
Step 6
Open the PLU
In POS System Manager, go to the PLU List, select the PLU and open its settings.
Step 7
Add a prompt
Go to the Prompts section. If there are no prompts yet, select Click here to add a new entry, or press Insert at the bottom right.
Step 8
Point it at your page
Set Prompt for to Post Sale Modifier Prompt, and Prompt using to the page you created. Select Save.
Step 9
Publish
Close the PLU screen and publish your changes, so the prompt reaches the POS.
The same prompt on many PLUs
Where the same prompt belongs on a number of PLUs, a PLU prompt template can be used instead of attaching it one at a time.
Prompts can also be scoped to individual outlets, and screens can be generated dynamically. Both need a hand from Triniteq support to set up.
