This article will show you how to set Phorest to lock automatically after a certain number of minutes.
Go to Manager > Settings > Point of Sale.
Next, enter a number of minutes under the Auto Log Out After (Minutes) setting, then click Save to finish. Phorest will now automatically lock after being inactive for this amount of time.
Note: The lowest amount of time possible is 1 minute.
This setting will apply to all computers, and it is not currently possible to set different logout times for each computer. However, if you have multiple locations in Phorest, the Auto Logout Time can be set separately for each location.
Once the inactivity time has passed, Phorest will automatically lock and require a staff PIN to be unlocked.
