# Set Default POS Display for an Employee

## Follow these steps to set a preferred view and filters as the default for an employee using the Union POS.

**IMPORTANT**

Consider reviewing our Learning Video covering [Navigating the Tab Screen](https://fast.wistia.net/embed/channel/dlj04sut3h/?wchannelid=dlj04sut3h&wmediaid=1fc0how2wc).

1. Have the employee log in to the Union POS app with their PIN code.
2. Toggle the home screen to your venue's preferred view: All Tabs, All Tables, All To-go, or All Checks.  
   ***\> Note:** Definitions of these types of display can be found in the [Reference](https://support.getunion.com/knowledge/set-the-default-pos-display-for-an-employee#home-screen-types) section (below).*
3. Set any preferred filters for the employee's display screen.  
   ***\> Note:** A list of these filter options can be found in the [Reference](https://support.getunion.com/knowledge/set-the-default-pos-display-for-an-employee#home-screen-types) section (below).*

**RESULT**

 The Union POS will remember the last selected home screen and filters when the user logs in next.
