NorthStar Text-To-PayNorthStar 4.8.3: Features and Improvements (Server/App)#TexttoPayText-to-Pay Feature

How do I customize the text message so it's not a generic text?

...

  • In the Area setup tab, make sure that "Enable text-to-pay payment" is flagged. Text messages will not be sent to clients unless this is flagged on.

Is there some sort of a monthly subscription to utilize text-to-pay for my restaurant?

It should be about $1.00 a month for that number. Please speak to an implementation manager to assist getting this properly set up for your site.

NorthStar Mobile ManagerNS Mobile Manager

Where can I download and access the Northstar Mobile Manager? I don't see it in the app store.

  • NorthStar Mobile Manager application is actually located in the App Store. Search for "NS Mobile Manager" in the App Store search.

The app isn't displaying any notifications of adjustments.

No data displays on the app.

  • Check to see if ECM has data for your site. If it does, re-download the app and see if the data displays. The Mobile Manager automatically syncs with the ECM instance and data once all the credentials and server options are entered into the app.


Time Record Adjustment Acknowledgement - Time Record Adjustment Feature

I see the Time Clock tab, but I can't access the Time Clock Adjustment ability.

  • This feature requires an specific account flag to be flagged on "Time records: Staff must acknowledge adjustment". Once flagged, you will see the Adjustments option at the bottom of the Time Clock tab.

I adjusted the time of an employee, but I don't see that they accepted the change.

  • When an employee confirms an adjusted punch, it does not display for the manager. Only declined adjustments will display for the manager to review.

My staff wants to review their punches after the end of their day, but can't clock in unless they confirm or decline the adjusted punches.

  • The Job Permission for the staff needs to flagged on for them to bypass the Time Adjustment screen. Verify that "Allow user to override adjustment acknowledgements" is checked for the job and run a deploy.
