[Fulfilled] Application Subtitle Action

JohnS · February 9, 2014, 11:09pm

Emre,

In V2 we had an action to Update Application Subtitle which allows you to place text next to SambaPOS at the top of the screen.

This was very useful for displaying Last Sale & Tendered details when using Fast Payment Buttons.

Can we please have this again in V3 & V4 ?

I’ve implemented an addon module for it an will be available on next update.

I have activated the Shell Subtitle

How do I configure the rule to display the last sale in the subtitle?

JohnS · February 12, 2014, 3:32pm

Create Action Last Sale
Action Update Application Subtitle
Set Title to [:LastSale]

Create Rule Last Sale
Event Payment Processed
Add Last Sale Action, set LastSale to TTL $[:ProcessedAmount] - TN $[:TenderedAmount] - CHG $[:ChangeAmount]

Thanks John, Worked a Treat.

Mine is better

Just implemented a new region for “Shell Subtitle” module. Will be available on next update. This region also supports multiple titles, word wrapping, printer template formatting, … if needed.

Wow that looks good. I like that feature.

JohnS · February 12, 2014, 4:36pm

That looks good. But I don’t think I would use it for Tendered & Change details - I think it would be a little confusing because the ticket has not been closed. It still looks active.

The Last Sale banner was setup for Fast Payments in V2, where staff would hit the Cash button, then forget what the amounts were. The Last Sale details stay until the next sale has settled.

Yes you are right it looks a little confusing. I think best solution is the message box solution for change due. However I’ve tested limits of SambaPOS modularity infrastructure. From a programmer perspective adding such title on top of ticket with an external module is great That might be useful for other uses.

JohnS · February 12, 2014, 4:47pm

For sure, its a great idea. We could use it for low inventory warnings, for example.

emre · February 12, 2014, 4:49pm

Yes “low inventory warnings”. Thank you…

Isaac · February 12, 2014, 5:27pm

It would be handy if the last sale details disappeared from the subtitle when we open a new ticket?

emre · February 12, 2014, 5:32pm

This is up to you. Set subtitle to empty when “New Ticket Created”

Isaac · February 12, 2014, 5:40pm

Emre, how do I use this instead of the application subtitle? I have installed v4.1.16.

emre · February 12, 2014, 5:54pm

Change Title Location to Ticket Title

JohnS · April 3, 2014, 12:58pm

Found a great use for Ticket Title area .
I have 80%, 90% and over 100% all with different colours.

Great Idea. When you have free time can you please give more details about this setup? I think nobody knows how to setup individual credit limits for customer accounts
