To change the order number on a kiosk, you will need to go into the System Registry. To do this:

  1. With the APM software closed, access Start > Run, type in regedit.exe , then hit enter to launch the registry editor. Please be careful while this is open, as an incorrect change in any registry settings may cause problems in Windows.
  2. Once open, click the + sign next to (HKEY_CURRENT_USER), then (SOFTWARE), then (LUCIDIOM) and finally (APM). This will appear at the bottom of the Registry Editor window as [ HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Lucidiom\APM ].
  3. In the list on the right, you will see a value labeled NextOrder. Double-click on NextOrder.
  4. In the window that opens, select the Decimal option for the Base.
  5. You will then see a 4-5 digit number in the box on the left. This value corresponds to the last 5 digits of an order number. Here you can enter the value you wish, keeping in mind that it should be no longer than 5 digits.

**Note: The first 5 digits of any order number comprise the APM ID. So, if you have an APM ID of 22222, and change the NextOrder value to 11111, then the order number will be 2222211111. The first five digits of an APM order number cannot be changed. If you wish to have less than 5 digits for the NextOrder value, be sure to put leading zeroes (i.e. 01111).

Once you've made the change, click OK, close the registry editor, and relaunch the software.
