Step 1: Sign In to WDF POS and Create Shortcut

Click "Install" when you see this popup

Step 2: Enable Touch Events

This step is needed to allow the drag & drop feature on the Order Tracker page using your POS computer’s touchscreen.

1. Right-click the Wash-Dry-Fold POS shortcut on your desktop and select Properties

2. Click in the input area titled Target: and use the right arrow key on your keyboard to scroll all the way to the end of the file path.

3. Hit the spacebar on your keyboard to add a space and then type the following text after the file path:

--touch-events

(Be sure to enter a space before typing this as seen in the picture below and please note the two hyphens at the beginning. Please note that your shortcut’s file path may be different than what’s seen in the example image; do not delete any part of it. )

4. Click Apply and then OK
