POS 2.17.1 (4/7/23)
Released with Campus.2315
Fix & Enhancement
The following updates have been made to the Point of Sale 2.0 tool: (SIS-168467)
- If the last transaction made on the terminal is a deposit only (no items purchased), the Drawer Count Deposit Amount would only display that last deposit, regardless of the amount of cash received during the service. This has been corrected.
- New search options have been added to assist Point of Sale cashiers with streamlining the serving process. Hold Search will retain the search criteria each time the search side panel is re-opened until cleared. Auto Open will automatically open the search side panel when a patron is served, bypassing the need to click Search. While search options and criteria can be used in any combination, cashiers can select Pinned Item(s) with Photo On, Hold Search, Auto Open and Homeroom to simulate roster serve behavior.
POS 2.16.0 (3/11/23)
Released with Campus.2311
Fixes
- Students and staff patrons who were previously searched for and found on the POS 2.0 terminal were no longer appearing in the POS 2.0 terminal if changes had been made to either a current, past, or future Enrollment or District Assignment record. They could no longer be found through PIN entry and/or Search and a data reload was the only way to fix this. This problem has now been resolved; a data reload should no longer be needed when Enrollment and District Assignment changes are made. (SIS-159562)
- If a future year enrollment is added to a student, once that student is searched in the POS 2.0 terminal, their future year grade would display instead of their current grade. This has been corrected. (SIS-167049)
Enhancements
- Homeroom and PIN searches have been added to the POS 2.0 terminal Search Side Panel. The homeroom teacher name/section numbers and student roster information will update on the terminal at night. The first time the terminal updates, the new homeroom tables will be added, but not populated until after the nightly job is run or a data reload is performed, whichever comes first. Because of this, the first time the cashier sees the HR drop list, it will not be populated until the next day. (SIS-167540)
- A banner notifying users of the Point of Sale 1.0 deprecation happening later this year has been added to select Food Service pages. (SIS-167831)

Fixes
- Links were not being properly identified by screen readers and could not be accessed via keyboard. This has been corrected. (SIS-156055)
- Entering an apostrophe to a service name causes the Service checkbox to not display on the Service Layout Copy Wizard. This has been corrected. (SIS-166038)
Enhancements
- A terminal preference was added to enable the allergy slide out to automatically open in continuous serve, separating the allergy slide out behavior from the other messages in continuous serve. (SIS-160963)
POS 2.14.0 (1/16/23)
Released with Campus.2303

POS 2.12.7 (10/24/2022)
Released with Campus.2243
Fixes
- The Connection Status icon was causing performance issues and display issues with the Services tool layout. These issues have been corrected by moving the Connection Status icon into the Cashier Actions side panel. (SIS-160018)
- When the terminal cannot reach the Campus server due to an incorrect URL, the error message now reads "Unable to reach server; check Campus URL." (SIS-159686)
- A bug was causing food service transactions to be stuck in queue, leading to these transactions posting very slowly or not at all. This issue was corrected. (SIS-159462)
Enhancements

Released with Campus.2235.4
Fixes

- A menu item could not be added to a transaction unless a different menu item was also added before selecting the desired item again.
- A menu item was selected twice for one student and added once to the transaction, then a new student was loaded and the same menu item was selected but not added to the transaction.

Released with Campus.2235
Enhancement
- Additional cashier stats were added to the side panel.
Fixes

POS 2.10.0 (7/5/2022)
Released with Campus.2227
Enhancement

POS 2.9.4 (5/9/2022)

Improvements
- An information box was added to the POS Terminal Admin to help users find the Get District Secret button in Food Service > Administration > Terminals. (SIS-155678)
POS 2.9.2 (4/11/2022)
This version of POS is compatible with Campus.2215.
Fixes
- Manual Update Required (SIS-153865)
The POS auto updater stopped working with POS 2.7.0. This issue was corrected; however, customers on POS 2.7.0 or 2.8.0 should manually update POS 2.0 for every user on each terminal after updating to Campus.2215.
This PDF provides specific instructions for manually updating: POS 2.0 Terminal Update (Campus.2215).pdf
Customers on POS 2.7.1 and POS 2.8.1 do NOT need to complete the manual update. If you have multiple terminals to update, consider saving the "Campus Point of Sale Setup 2.9.2.exe" file to a jump drive for ease of use. Once you complete the manual update process, POS 2.0 will automatically update with each Campus release going forward and you will not be required to manually update the terminal again.
- Corrected Inactive Accounts Being Served via PIN (SIS-153594)
When a food service account was marked as inactive in Campus but a PIN was still associated with the account, the account could still be served and charged when the PIN was entered via the PIN pad. This issue was corrected.
Improvements
- MMF Cash Drawers Renamed (SIS-153865)
The MMF Cash Drawer names on the POS Terminal Admin screen were renamed MMF Adv. and MMF Value to accurately reflect the type of MMF cash drawer being used.
Enhancements
- Terminal Authorization (SIS-154732)
To prevent users from using the URL from another district to load district data on the terminal, a new "District Secret" was added. During the initial setup of a terminal, districts must copy the District Secret from Point of Sale > Administration > Terminals > Get District Secret and paste it into the District Secret field on the POS Terminal Admin screen's Configurations section. This authorizes the terminal to pull data from Campus.
If your district is currently using POS 2.0, you do not need to enter the District Secret immediately. However, you will need to enter the District Secret the next time you change the terminal configuration in the POS Terminal Admin.
