This functionality is only available to customers who have purchased Campus Point of Sale as add-on functionality.
This tool provides settings for Point of Sale accounts for patrons, cashiers, and food service managers. This Account Details tool displays two types of folders related to an account: the Account folder and the Patron folder (titled as the account user's name).
Modified By information displays at the bottom of the editor and displays the date, time, and ID of the last person to modify the account. The Modified By information is updated any time the Save button is clicked. The Reminder/Restriction Wizard also updates the modified by and modified date information.

Add and Remove Patrons
Click the Add Patron button to add a patron to the account. Patrons cannot be added if they are already tied to an account. See the Transfer Patron Account Data article to transfers patron(s) to a new account.
