Setting Up Frames
AcuityLogic includes a set of preconfigured frames that are organized by collections. Each collection consists of frame styles which consists of individual frames. In AcuityLogic Admin, you can map the frames in each style in each collection to make them available in AcuityLogic POS. You can price frames during the mapping process or set a standard markup that applies to all mapped frames in a collection. You can also use bulk pricing to price mapped frames in multiple collections. The section explains how to set up frames.
