Setup and Usage
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Can I log into Campus today and just start using POS 2.0? | No, Campus Support needs to enable POS 2.0 on your site. See the POS 2.0 Migration Checklist for more information. |
| Can I use my current applications and layout? | No. You need to create new applications, designated as enhanced, for use on POS 2.0. You also need to create the services and layouts. The Copy Layout Wizard is a quick and easy way to convert existing layouts to work with POS 2.0. After using the Copy Layout Wizard, be sure to validate the application is the correct size on your terminal and make any necessary adjustments. Recommendations can be found in the Terminal Installation and Configuration (POS 2.0) article. |
| Can I run Current POS and POS 2.0 on the same terminal? | Yes. As long as the terminal names are unique. |

| Can I hide a patron’s eligibility indicator on the terminal? | Yes, the same POS preference regarding hiding eligibility indicator as well as showing actual purchasable amount is still available. |
| Can POS 2.0 run offline? | Yes, it works as it does today. When the terminal is back online, the terminal and Campus data is synced. |
