A new clerk should be able to learn AMAS quickly. The screen is easy to read, and on-screen hints and menus guide the clerk at each step. Most management functions can be figured out from the menus as well, but an excellent manual is supplied. ASOS Antiques SOS has the most attractive screen display of all the products reviewed. Colors can be selected, but the default colors are a gentle gray and green combination that is easy on the eyes.
Menus list all the functions.
The key to be pressed for a given function is usually the first letter of the function name. Using the arrow keys to scroll through menu items brings up descriptions of the functions in a hint box. There are detailed instructions on the lower part of the screen at every step. Moving into certain columns automatically displays a pick list. For example, moving into the discount column brings up a list of possible discount methods.
