When you configure Retail for point of sale (POS), you can design the screen layouts that your workers use on the registers in your stores. You can define one or more screen layouts for your business. Then, when you configure a POS register, you select the ID of the screen layout that the register uses. You can also assign screen layouts to specific stores or specific workers.

When Microsoft Dynamics AX for Retail POS starts, it determines which screen layout to display. For example, you may assign one screen layout to a specific store, another layout to a specific register, and another layout to a specific worker. The system uses the following order to determine the appropriate layout:

  1. Worker

  2. Register

  3. Store
