# Setting A Terminal And / Or Employee Default Drop-Down Screen

Once some drop-down screens have been created, we can set a terminal or an employee to default to this once signed on. This can be done through eZeePOS Office.

**Setting the terminal default Drop-Down screen**

The first option is to set the default drop-down screen for the terminal itself. This means that when an employee signs on, and they don't have a drop-down screen assigned to them, they will use the terminal default drop-down screen.

To set this, you will want to navigate to *Config -> Terminals -> EZP Terminals.*Find your terminal that you wish to change the default drop-down setting for and then press Settings Cog icon.

On the terminal configuration screen, the bottom options from the top list of options should be *Default Drop Down.*To the right of this, you should be able to click the drop-down box and see a list of the Drop-Down screens you have created. Choose the one you wish for the terminal to use. Once selected, hit **Save**.

Once done, on eZeePOS, [refresh your terminal's data](https://ezeepos.co.uk/help/getting-refreshing-the-program-from-the-cloud-back-office/). Now, when signing on, instead of going to the All Items screen, it will go to the selected Drop-Down screen.

**Setting the employee default Drop-Down screen**

The employee can also be set to have a default drop-down screen. This will take priority over the terminal default drop-down screen.

To do this, you will want to navigate to *Maintenance -> Clerks -> Clerks*. On this screen, find the clerk you wish to change the default screen for and click **Edit**. This will take you to that specific employee's settings. The very bottom option on this screen is *Default Drop Down*. Click the drop-down box to the right-hand side of this and choose the drop-down you wish this employee to use. Once selected, press **Save** at the top-right of the screen.

Again in eZeePOS, refresh your terminal's data. Signing on as this employee will now go to the drop-down screen set against them, rather than using the terminal default drop-down screen.
