Note: this can only be done on the computer

Next, go to Registers then configure.

Scroll down until you see the different options: Product, Dep., Menu, and Unused.

Once you select the one you have to click on the option and drag it to where you want it.

Then go where it says Select a Dept. pick the department you want and it will also change the label name to that Department you selected as well.

This works the same for Products
