Revel POS: Using Matrix Functionality

This Article reviews using Matrix functionality in the Management Console.  We have noted the Field Labels with a description and how they are used.

Note: Matrix Products can only be setup if Matrix functionality is turned on for the establishment.

Reminder: Use the window on the left to set only the fields you want to display on the right.  Use Set as Default so you do not have to set each time.
