Allow ledger updates from Corporate HQ This setting only applies to Partner stores that have Polygon Back Office.

This setting is only applicable to Headquarters applications for a Multi-Location group. It allows you to place locations into quarantine in order to manage a staged roll out of POS Updates. For example, if releasing a new menu or updated pricing, not all locations may be going live with this at the same time. Using Quarantined Updates allows you to: •Freeze the current product data including Keypads, PLUs, Pricing, etc, from being updated at POS whilst menu changes are built at BOH •Quarantine all or some locations •Still be able to send updates for other non-product related changes such as new POS Users, POS Hardware changes, etc •Release each location from quarantine on demand once the new changes are required IMPORTANT: Quarantined Updates can only be used with assistance from the Redcat Support team, as there is a process required on the Redcat updates server to facilitate the freezing of your current menu data. Before beginning your menu changes, please contact the Redcat Help Desk on 1300 473 322 to schedule this in and to receive detailed instructions on how to proceed.
