Quick keys are the grid of product tiles on the sell screen. Tapping one adds that product to the cart, which is faster than searching for the things you sell all day and the only good option for anything without a barcode.

A set of tiles is a **layout**. A layout is built once and then used by as many registers as you like, so every till in the shop can share the same grid.


Quick keys are built in the register app, not in the back office. On a phone the grid is folders only, and tapping a folder opens its products.

## Build a layout

1. In the register app, go to **Settings > Quick keys**.
2. Select **New layout**, give it a **Layout name** such as Front counter, and it opens.
3. Tap an empty product slot, marked **+ Add**, and pick the product. There are 12 product slots on the top surface.
4. Tap an empty folder slot, marked **+ Folder**, name it, and it holds 9 more products. There are 4 folder slots, so a full layout reaches 48 products.
5. Tap a filled slot to **Replace product** or **Remove product**. There is no separate save step. Every change is stored as you make it.


**Rename** in the top bar renames the layout. Inside a folder, it renames the folder instead.

## Put a layout on a register

Open **Settings > Quick keys** on the register you want to change, find the layout, and select **Use here**. The card for the layout your current register is on is tagged **In use here**, and each card says how many registers are using it.

That means you assign a layout from the register that will use it, standing at that till. A register with no layout assigned shows **No quick keys yet** on the sell screen, with a **Set up quick keys** button that takes you into the same place.

## Delete a layout

Select **Delete** on the layout card and confirm. If registers are using it, the confirmation says so. Those registers fall back to no grid, and their cashiers search or scan until a layout is assigned again.

## Who can do this

Editing quick keys is a permission your role either holds or does not. If your role does not hold it, **Settings > Quick keys** is not there and the sell screen explains the empty grid without offering to fix it. Ask an owner or a manager.

## If it goes wrong

- **The grid is empty on one till only.** That register has no layout assigned. Use **Use here** on that device.
- **A product you added is not on the grid.** Only a filled slot renders. Check you were inside the folder you meant to be in, because a folder has its own 9 slots separate from the top surface.
