  • Display Name: Used to set a 'friendly' name for the video. This name is used on the VDU as an identifier.


  • Station Name: Shows the name of the terminal that the VDU is running on. A terminal must be designated to run each VDU but terminals can run more than one VDU at a time.


  • Style Name: displays the designated color and font style the VDU is using.


  • Rows: shows the number of rows to display per order on the VDU (options are 1 or 2)


  • Columns: select the number of columns per order to display on the VDU (options are 1 through 5)


  • Route Position: allows you to set the position that the VDU holds in the system. 


    • For example: if an order is eligible to display on two (2) VDUs it will display on the one with the lower route number first: VDU with route #1 will receive the order and bump it to         VDU with route #2. This allows you to move orders to new prep areas as needed.


  • Bump Increment: sets the number of presses needed to bump an order.


  • Pre-Prep Warning: configure the amount of time (in minutes) to change the color of an item on the VDU to warn that the timer is expiring.
