3.1.9Send urgent message to Symphony Pro
Send urgent message to Symphony Pro /Sypmphony Pos: Use this setting to send a copy of urgent messages received by the Main message center to the terminal defined as the second message center. Selecting this menu option acts as a toggle to activate the second message server (when the check bar is set) or to turn it off, when the check box does not appear. This feature is not supported by the TEC ECR.
3.1.10 Date Conversion
Calendar and Date Conversion Utility
It is important to note that if you open the Windows Date utility by double clicking the System date / time icon (usually at the bottom right of the windows desktop) and change the month displayed, Windows changes the system date even if you haven't pressed "OK" or "Apply". If Symphony Pro is running, it immediately displays a warning message, then closes. This is because Symphony Pro is constantly checking the system date / time to see if any "Events" or "Tasks" should be performed. If the application did not close, it would want to execute events for the new date / time, possibly adversely affecting the data.
The Symphony Pro "File" menu provides a calendar utility called "Date Conversion", useful for verifying past or future dates when working within Symphony Pro. The utility also provides a date format converter, used to verify dates in less common formats. The date formats described below are commonly used by programs internally, because they simplify mathematical date calculations, making it possible to subtract one date from another.
This example shows the Symphony Pro "File" menu's "Date Conversion" utility.
