I’ve seen how you can create a set of order tags in advance, but is there a way to create custom order notes/tags that do not already exist? The use case is for if someone wants an unusual request for an order item. I’ve seen other POS systems that allow you add text notes / modify the order name to reflect custom requests.
Can you do something like this in Samba? Thanks!
Yes, it is called Free Tagging.
Thank you! That looks perfect.
Further to this, is there a way to create pre-set ticket notes? for example if someone has a gluten allergy, is there a way of putting a button on so that this will be entered into the ticket note without having to type it in every time
You can turn on option to save free tags.
You can add these through order tags and easily map to product groups or particular products the way I did.
I know you can do that @Jesse but what I’m looking for is a way to enter pre set ticket notes rather than order tags. Is there a way of doing this?
You could create a custom menu with auto commands that when pressed add a ticket note with preset comments
So you would press a button from you main pos screen, that woud open a custom menu screen with different buttons for different notes. When you press the button for the note you want it is added to the ticket and the menu screen switches back your main pos screen
Or even just a automation command and use the command value list option to give a list of options, I use this on a few things where just want a basic list of options. Then make a command executed rule to take the command value and add to ticket note.
How would i do this @JTRTech? I have created the Automation button but im unsure how i would give the list of options to be selected and then get it to update the notes.
The values field at the bottom, then when you press the button the list of options will show on the right where tags and portions usually go.
Ok ive done that now how do i get the option to be entered into the Ticket note?
A rule with constraint of the command name and an action of tag ticket where the tag field in the action is [:Tag] so that the field is available in the rule and then in the rule you’ll put [:CommandValue] (selectable in the dropdown) which will take the value button on right into the tag.
