Released

New role in Mobile POS Management - Beta functions
In Mobile POS there are some times larger functions being developed over a longer period of time. In these situations the function is not always complete and is missing several smaller options within the function.
Mobile POS is still released with these function, even if they are not always wanted and optimal for the user. To handle this a new Mobile POS Role is an option, called “Beta Features”.
By default no users has access to this role and it stops the incomplete functions - beta features, to be shown in Mobile POS. If the role is created and set to a user they will se all Beta features and be able to test them as far as they are developed and released. After applying the role, log out and in again.
Roles in Mobile POS Management
If a user has the role “System admin” they automatically are assigned the Beta Feature part of Mobile POS role. To test it user must try with a user who does not have a “System admin” role or remove it from the user.
