Minimize On External Command

(Maitre'D 2003, from Service Pack 9 and later versions of 2003)
(Maitre'D 2005, from Service Pack 1 and later versions of 2005)

P.O.S. Control

This option allows to minimize the workstation window while an External Command is being executed.
Notes: Beware that some external programs could enter in conflict with the Maitre'D workstation or back-office application while active, and even after they close. Test any such external application thoroughly at your office before giving this access on site.
While an External Command is active, it suspends the workstation functions, including by default the printouts on shared printers for which it is responsible. See the "Process Print Jobs in External Command" instructions to remove that limitation.
Also, by default while an External Command is activated, the printouts on shared printers for which the workstation is responsible are suspended. See the Process Print Jobs in External Command instructions to remove that limitation.

To enable this option, under the C:\Posera\MaitreD\Data directory, in the Pos??.ini file (you will need to do it for every POS Ex.: Pos01.ini, Pos02.ini), add the following configuration key and value:

MinimizeOnExtCmd=True

Note: After modifying the INI file, redo workstation data.
