How to Add a Default Location to Flex

Setting a Default Location on a Flex device serves two purposes:

• Expeditor Mode: When you want to use the device in Expeditor mode, it will default to showing you orders from the Default Location.
• Portables Mode Default Menu: When you initially log into the Flex device to Portables Mode and begin taking a new order, the device will display the menu associated with the Default Location.

How to Change the Default Location

To change the Default Location,

1. Navigate to the three dot menu on the upper right corner of your orders screen.
2. Click Settings. 
3. Click the gray box that says Default Location.
4. Select the Location from the dropdown menu.
5. To start taking orders, click the circle button on the middle of the navigation bar at the bottom of the screen. 

The circle button always brings you back to the Orders page, where you can see any completed orders or start a new order with the blue plus sign. 

Expeditor Mode

If you've selected a Default Location in Settings and you navigate to Expeditor mode, the Default Location's orders will populate automatically. In this example, the Default Location is Frozen Zone, so Frozen Zone's orders are displaying. If you click the down carrot next to the location name, you can choose to view another location's orders. 

Notes:

• Digital Receipts and Pickup Notifications must be enabled for a Location to appear in the dropdown for Expeditor Mode.
• If there is only one Location with Digital Receipts and Notifications enabled, that Location will appear automatically.
• If the Default Location does not have Digital Receipts and Notifications enabled, it will not display in Expeditor Mode's dropdown menu. 

Default Menu

If you've selected a Default Location in Settings and you navigate to Portables, the Default Location's menu will populate automatically. In this example, the Default Location is Frozen Zone, so Frozen Zone's menu is displaying. If you'd like to switch to another location, you will navigate back to settings and change the Portables Location.

Notes:

• • If you navigate to the Settings and change the Portables Location and take a new order, it will trump the Default Location. In other words, the menu associated with the location you choose in Portables Location settings field will populate instead of the Default Location's menu.
    
    
  • If you change the Portables Location to use the Flex at a Location other than the Default Location temporarily, as long as you don't clear the default, the next time you log in it will default to the Default Location's Menu. 
    
    
  • The Default Location only affects Portables mode. If you switch to Ordering mode, you will still be prompted to Select Your Location and your Service Location.
