(desktop program, after linking branches; both devices need version 1.0.117 or newer):
- On the manager's device: Settings → Branches → on the branch card press «Control this branch».
- The branch's whole system opens on your device with a red bar «You are controlling branch …»: items and prices, settings, shifts and stopping sales, editing or voiding invoices, expenses and purchases, reports — everything is saved on the branch device itself.
- To come back press «Back to my PC» in the bar.
- The branch device must be on and online. The branch shows «The general manager is controlling this device now», and the activity log records your work under your name and the manager device's name.
- For speed: open Settings → Branches and wait a few seconds before pressing «Control this branch» — the branches get ready and answer almost at once (from version 1.0.118).
- From 1.0.129 (on both devices) you can also do remotely: backups (daily email, «send now», download), ZATCA (Fatoora) onboarding and certificate renewal, and the smart assistant works on the branch data.
- Not possible remotely: subscription and licence, data reset, linking devices and branches, your own password and two-step sign-in — do those on the branch device. (Branch staff passwords can be changed remotely from «Users».)
- Printing goes to your own device's printer.
If you get stuck on any step, ask the smart assistant inside the program.
