Bump Bar for Kitchen display

na1978 · May 7, 2016, 4:06pm

Sounds good. I look forward testing. Thank you.

I was going to demonstrate a 3rd method which is also the “original” method that is talked about early on in this thread, with a single Widget and a sequence like:

1,1,1,Recall,Recall,Recall

That ^ is the the way the original concept of Bump Bar operation is explained, and it would be good to be able to operate in that fashion if that is what people are used to. It alleviates the need of using Arrow Keys to move around between Cards.

But again (still), we are limited to a single Recall command. @emre, any chance you could increase the “Recall Queue”?

emre · May 8, 2016, 8:14pm

OK. As I’ve said before having a longer recall queue may confuse users but seems like you want that. So can you help me to understand what will happen in that case?

1>1>R>1>R>R

What should last recall do?

QMcKay · May 9, 2016, 3:58pm

I assume it should be treated as a stack. Last On, First Off.

1 2 3 4  (position)
A B C D  (order name)

                Incomplete  RecallStack
Position:        1 2 3 4
(start)          A B C D
1 Complete A     B C D      A
1 Complete B     C D        BA
R Recall B       B C D      A
1 Complete B     C D        BA
R Recall B       B C D      A
R Recall A       A B C D

That is the way I would think it should go. If not, others should chime in.

Method 3 using single widget and no arrow keys. Sequence is:

1,1,1,Recall,Recall,Recall

We set the maximum Recall Queue in the Task Editor Widget Settings …

This Rule handles the Task Completion and Recalls …

DB Tools file containing:

Bump Bar Task Type
Entity Screen
Printer, Template, Print Job
Automation for controlling the BB Screen, includes 3 Rules for different scenarios:
1 Widget with no arrows - reacts to numeric keys (complete task) and Backspace Key (recall)
1 Widget with left/right arrows - reacts to numeric keys (complete task), left/right arrow keys (Task Selection), and Backspace Key (recall)
2 Widgets with up/down arrows - reacts to numeric keys (complete task), up/down arrow keys (Task Selection), and Backspace Key (recall)

The biggest part of the setup is the Entity Screen. So the hard part has been done for you.

Of the 3 Rules described above, the first 2 are not mapped, so they are disabled. Only the 3rd Rule has a mapping. They are not meant to work together, so you should only have 1 Rule mapped at a time. So if you enable mapping on a Rule, make sure you delete the mapping for the other 2 Rules.

Everything contained in this file has a “BB” prefix.

The following DB Tools file is from the Kitchen Display (separate Tutorial) and it contains the Automation responsible for Printing the BB Tasks by handling KDStatus Order State and firing the BB Print Job.

Everything contained in this file has a “KD” prefix.

I just imported the 2 DB Tools files into a fresh database on 5.1.61 and the entity screen showing KD and BB doesn’t appear to work. It just looks like this:

Sending orders to kitchen makes no difference.

Am I missing something? Was there something I had to setup manually in addition to the DB Tools import?

QMcKay · October 21, 2016, 1:11pm

That seems to be a bug or feature missing from DB export/import that it does not restore Widgets to the proper position when using Layout Mode. All required widgets are there, and their settings should be correct as well… you just need to position them.

So you need to go into Design mode, grab and drag those widgets to where they should be.

grab 1 and move it to right of x
grab 2 and move it to right of 1
grab 3 and move it to right of 2
…
highlight the Task Editor Widget and expand it to full height.

markjw · October 21, 2016, 4:17pm

Ok I have rearranged the widgets, it looks similar as your screenshots except the header captions are missing as are the group captions above the bump bar buttons (“Bump Bar” and “Recall Controls”) - there seems to be no widget there to hold those.

However it is not working. See below, I think a lot of settings are missing for the widgets, either missing in the DB Tools file or possibly a bug with 5.1.61 beta ?

emre · October 21, 2016, 7:50pm

Did you tagged your menu items as food and drink?

markjw · October 21, 2016, 8:56pm

Yes. The tag was not created also by DB Tools import. I saw in some rules {ITEM TAG:ItemType} so I added the Product Tag ItemType and applied “Food” to food items:

QMcKay · October 22, 2016, 4:15pm

Automation is looking for itemType with lowercase i … so you need to either rename your caption and re-tag everything, or change any Constraints to look for ItemType with uppercase I.

markjw · October 22, 2016, 11:38pm

Does not appear so, I haven’t modified any of these from what was added by the DB Tools import…everything is set with uppercase I…ItemType

Maybe you can test your DB Tools files by importing into a fresh DB just as I did…

QMcKay · October 23, 2016, 2:25am

I stand corrected then. In recent implementations on my own system, it uses productType for the Caption.

No thanks

Check your Print Jobs for proper filtering by Product Tag. And troubleshoot the Rules with Show Message action. Will be good to know what you find to be the cause.

Here is the KD config that I use… the BB automation is separate… and you can ignore the “HUB” Actions in the Rules… they are for GQL-Modules.

After messing around with this for a couple hours, even testing it on 5.1.59 in case it was related to 5.1.61 beta, I found out the reason… the Task Printer “Printer Share Name / Port Name” was blank! Adding a . for the printer name and it works now. Totally missed that. I checked the DB Tools file, the printer share name isn’t included, so I’m guessing it doesn’t get exported via DB Tools.

markjw · October 23, 2016, 5:51am

What is the difference between the Toggle and Complete buttons? I noticed marking orders as either has the same result.

QMcKay · October 23, 2016, 6:51am

Ahh that’s right! I have had that problem time and again with the import - I have noticed this too… Yes, it needs a value, like DOT (.). Maybe @emre can have a look at Layout Widget Positions and Print Share Name in the Exports.

Toggle will take a Completed Task and mark it Incomplete (and vice-versa). Complete will only mark a Task Completed.

emre · October 23, 2016, 11:43am

I solved it but a re-export will needed to position widgets properly.

QMcKay · October 23, 2016, 4:05pm

Thanks @emre. I will try to find the time to re-make the export.

markjw · October 23, 2016, 4:57pm

Do you mean you also fixed issue where the widgets are not positioned properly when imported?
