5. Product Entry and Search

Configure register search, product-entry formatting, and supported lookup presentation.

How to show the product search bar and choose its search style

Configure how employees find products from the main register on supported desktop layouts.

Show or hide product search

  1. Open Settings > Register.
  2. Find Search Bar.
  3. Select Show to make product search available, or Hide to remove it from the register.
  4. Save the settings.

Choose the search presentation

  1. When the search bar is shown, find Product Search.
  2. Choose the standard dropdown or the larger searchable dialog that opens after Enter is pressed.
  3. Save the settings.

Both supported presentations follow the same product-discovery rules. Employees can search by product name and supported identifiers, including exact UPC, SKU, IMEI, or serial number when applicable and available at the current location.

For serialized lookup instructions, see How to find a device by IMEI or serial number.

How to configure multiline and capitalized item names

Product-entry formatting can make register descriptions easier to read and more consistent.

Allow multiline item entry

  1. Open Settings > Register.
  2. Enable Multi-Line when sale descriptions need more than one line.
  3. Save the settings.

Capitalize item names automatically

  1. Enable Capitalize Item Names.
  2. Save the settings.

Automatic capitalization helps keep item descriptions visually consistent. Review abbreviations, model numbers, and brand styling when exact capitalization matters.
