Configuration package
You can request a configuration package through the Support channel (login required) with data in the package that fit the LS Central demo data and help you set up the SCO Connector on the LS Central side. To see more information on how to do this click here.
The configuration package includes all feature flags that are available for all different types of SCO Devices that are supported by the SCO Connector. Each feature flag has a default value, and you can see descriptions of the feature flags and what values they can take here.
What needs to be configured in LS Central?
The list below displays the configurations that are required to successfully run the SCO Connector. When you set the system up for the first time, we recommend that you set the configurations up in the same order as below, but it is not mandatory.
| Configuration | Description |
|---|---|
| SCO Service Service Administration Portal | Configurations are needed so that the SCO Connector knows how to connect to LS Central and Hardware Station for LS Central. |
| Tender Type Mapping Profile | Configurations to map the SCO Device tender types to the LS Central tender types. |
| SCO Device Types | For each Self-Checkout device or hardware type that is being used, one SCO Device Type needs to be created. |
| SCO Item Profile | There are some configurations that can be necessary to apply to an item that is being sold in the Self-Checkout. The SCO Item profile allows the customer to manage these configurations on a profile level, and then attach them to either the item directly or some level higher up in the item hierarchy. |
| Retail Backoffice settings | Some configurations are part of the Retail BackOffice configurations. Click here to view what needs to be configured. |
| SCO Service | For each SCO Connector that is running, one SCO Connector needs to be configured in LS Central. |
| Feature flags | Most of the configurations that can be set on any level of the configurations are done through Feature flags. |
| Validate settings | Once the SCO Connector is up and running, go to the Administration Portal to validate the settings and make sure that all configurations are ready. |
