System Five on Cloud · The Counter

Touch Screen

Touch Screen is part of The Counter in Windward System Five. System Five includes 4 documented capabilities here — all 4 in the standard set. Trades that lean on it include Sporting Goods Retailer, Plumbing Supply, Liquor and Winery Store.

These 4 capabilities sit within System Five's 1287-capability documented set — a selection, not a ceiling.

Optional

Four Button Action Types Optional #

Put any action on a single button

A touch button can send keystrokes to the field in focus, simulate a barcode scan, run a special function that no keystroke can reach, or navigate to another layout or open a pop-up layout window.

Global and Per-Workstation Layouts Optional #

Use one till layout across every store

Layouts are saved globally for the whole estate or locally for one workstation, with a local layout of the same name taking precedence. Panels can toggle between layouts or open one-hit windows that close after a single press.

Touch Login Keypad Optional #

Sign in fast on a touch screen

The login window can present a numeric on-screen keypad for staff signing in with a user number and numeric password.

Touch Screen Layout Designer Optional #

Build a till screen that fits your shop

A drag-and-drop designer builds custom button panels into predefined areas of the invoice screen, controlling caption, font, colour, style, width, height, image and shortcut key, with snap-to-grid alignment and one-click generation of a full alphabetic or numeric keypad.

Every capability on this page is documented in the System Five capability index. Last updated 2026-11-05.
