What this page is for
A till session is one operator's stint on one till: from declaring the opening float, through everything taken during the shift, to the final count and the cut that closes it. This page lists every session, newest first, so you can see who is trading, who is counting, and who has already cut their Z (the closing report, explained on Shift report).
The columns:
- Z number: the session's closing number, blank until it is cut.
- Till: the till's code and name, such as
LANE1 · Front counter. - Operator: whose drawer this is.
- Status: Opening (the float has not been declared yet), Trading (the only state that takes money), Counting (a count is under way) or Closed.
- Opened and Closed: when the session started and ended.
- Count: Blind or Open — whether the operator sees the expected cash while counting, or only the count form. This is fixed for the session when it opens and does not change if the setting is changed later.
- Taken over by: filled in if a supervisor took the session over from its original operator.
Everyone whose role can view till sessions sees this page. If your role only lets you see your own records, the list shows only sessions you worked yourself. Opening a session, declaring a float, recording cash movements, counting the drawer and cutting the Z all happen on the till, not here — this page is for seeing and reporting on sessions, not running them.

Worked examples
Restaurant and bar
At The Acacia Grill & Bar in Westlands, Nairobi, the floor manager filters Status to Trading at 9 pm to see which tills are still live before the kitchen stops taking orders.
Supermarket
Tumaini Supermarket in Nakuru runs three lanes. The duty manager filters by Till to see
LANE1's sessions for the week and check that every one of them was eventually Closed, rather
than left open overnight by a forgotten cut.
