Have you configured Custom Settings on one of your Dines devices, and want to copy it over to another device? This is the guide for you!

Exporting and Importing Custom Settings to Other Devices

Dines app Functions menu showing the Default Device Settings screen

In Dines, it is possible to export your custom settings, saving you valuable time when configuring multiple devices.

Please note that if you are using any of the standard Dines presets (Bar / Street Food / Table Service), you do not need to export/import, as these presets are selectable on all devices running Dines.

Exporting

As always, if anything is unclear, we are always happy to help at care@dines.co.uk.

  1. To Export your settings, you will first need to choose a preset above, or configure your settings manually so that they are exactly to your liking.

  2. Once you have customised every setting to your preference, the hard part is over. Now all you need to do is head to Settings > Device Setup > Default Device Settings > Export Device Settings, and you will be greeted with a QR code.

This QR code can be easily scanned by another iOS device using the Dines app, as described below. Alternatively, you have the option to share this QR code through various methods, such as AirDrop, email, or saving it to your device for future use.

Importing

  1. To Import Dines Settings from one device to another, you will of course need to complete the steps above for Exporting Settings.

  2. Once this is done, open the Dines app on your iOS device, and navigate to Settings > Device Setup > Default Device Settings > Scan Device Settings QR Code.

This will open your device's camera. You can use this camera to scan the QR Code given by the "Export Device Settings" option, which will then automatically load the settings onto your device. It's as easy as that!
