Quick answer: On Nomni POS, open the menu at the top and tap Settings . Tap the System tab. Then follow the steps below.

Nomni POS has a list of System settings, each with a short code like A10, B7 or C9. Our team often mentions these codes. This guide explains the ones you'll use most and how to change them.

Before you start

You need a manager or admin login. If B13 is on, only admins can change settings.
Codes can be slightly different for some businesses. If a code doesn't match, search for the setting name instead.

How to find and change a setting

On Nomni POS, open the menu at the top and tap Settings.
Tap the System tab.
Type the code or part of the name in the search box (for example "B7" or "cash drawer").
Turn the setting on or off.
Still on the System tab, tap SAVE TO SERVER, then tap YES. Until you do this, the change is only saved on this iPad.
On each other iPad, go to Settings > System, tap GET SERVER SETTINGS, then tap YES.

What you should see: "Server Update Success" after SAVE TO SERVER, and "Reset Success" on each iPad after GET SERVER SETTINGS. The setting then works on every POS.

If something goes wrong

The change doesn't show on other iPads

On the iPad where you made the change, go to Settings > System and tap SAVE TO SERVER.
On each other iPad, tap GET SERVER SETTINGS on the same tab.

Important: MASTER SYNC and GET SERVER SETTINGS replace this iPad's settings with the ones saved on the server. If you change a setting and run MASTER SYNC before tapping SAVE TO SERVER, your change is undone.

I can't change a setting

Your login may not have permission, or B13 may be on. Ask an admin user to change it.

I can't find a setting

Search by name rather than code. Some settings are only visible to admins, and some can only be changed by our team. Message us and tell us what you want to change.
