# Advanced (Advanced POS UI) ![Workstation Options - Advanced (Advanced POS UI)](https://documentation.payfacto.com/POS/MaitreD/Fulldoc/assets/images/Chap05/WorkstationOptions/09a-WSOptions-Advanced\(AdvancedUI\).png) ### Advanced (Legacy POS UI) ![Workstation Options - Advanced (Legacy POS UI)](https://documentation.payfacto.com/POS/MaitreD/Fulldoc/assets/images/Chap05/WorkstationOptions/09-WSOptions-Advanced.png) The Advanced branch of the workstation options allows you to configure advanced operation options for your workstation. #### Operating System Select between Windows or Mobile POS App. Use Windows for any windows-based POS workstation or tablet. Use Mobile POS app for Android or iOS-based tablets. #### Workstation Type Use the Generic options for most situations. The other options should be used only if you have older Panasonic or Sharp POS workstations. This drop-down list becomes unavailable if the operating system is set to Mobile POS App. #### Communication This drop-down list is always set to Network. This drop-down list becomes unavailable if the operating system is set to Mobile POS App. #### Electronic Journal Enable this option to create a text file containing a chronological log of all transactions done on a fixed workstation. This feature is not available on mobile workstations. {% hint style="info" %} NOTE: By default, each workstation saves the resulting JournalXX.Log file in the C:\WS folder of its own hard drive , where XX is the workstation number. You can specify a path to save the electronic journals of all workstations in a central location by going to System Configuration > View > Options > Directories, and entering a path in the POS Electronic Journal Path field. {% endhint %} #### Use folder Share for Printing Enable this option to use a shared folder on the Maitre'D Back-Office server as a print spooler for this workstation. If this option is disabled, the workstation will have its own local folder as its print spooler. #### Create Data ![Button - Create Data](https://documentation.payfacto.com/POS/MaitreD/Fulldoc/assets/images/MaitreDCommon/Buttons/MDButton-CreateData.jpg) Click this button to manually trigger the creation of the workstation's data. #### Style Select the Legacy POS style to use for this POS workstation. This option becomes unavailable if the Advanced POS UI (HTML POS) is in use. #### Multi-Instance Enable this option to allow the workstation application to run in a window which can be resized. #### Show Mouse Cursor Enable this option to display the mouse pointer while the workstation application is running. This allows a mouse to be used instead of a touch-screen. If this option is disabled, the mouse pointer is hidden. #### Floor Plan Status Enable this option to use the floor plan as a screen saver on the workstation. #### MSR Compatibility mode Enable this option to synchronize with the Magnetic Card Reader of a Posiflex J2 workstation running CE.NET. Disable this option on Windows workstations. #### Dark Mode Enable this option to use the Advanced POS UI (HTML POS) in Dark Mode. This option is not available with the Legacy POS UI.
