In the grid in the Options Configuration window, the system indicates the "Kept By" method: "System", "Store", "User", or "Terminal." The "kept by" method tells you how the highlighted item is kept--by system (one setting for the entire system), store (one setting per store), user (one setting per each user), or terminal (one setting per terminal). For example, you may want to change an Option from being kept by System to being kept by Terminal so that you can vary the setting of this option by terminal.
Changing the way an option is kept is available only on a limited number of options. If the "Available Domains" column indicates other settings, you can change the way the highlighted option is kept. To do this, click Misc, select the choice to change the option's Kept By, select the new kept by method, and click Change.
