Changing Entity Colors / Ticket Widget List Colors

[Luis_Varsan]

Hi everyone,

I know this is not a free support forum but I was hoping somebody could point me in the right direction or to a thread that will help, I searched an did not find anything.

I have a kitchen display per the official tutorial on here. I want to show the time an order is waiting & also have it change to yellow after 3 minutes and red after 5. Is this something I can do in v4.x or do I need 5? I see this tutorial:

Trigger to change entity state

I thought I should let you know that the changing colors and timers will be possible in version 5 when its released. I’ll show you an example in a few minutes. [image] This is just one template that was used to demonstrate some new functions coming with v5. Another users version: [image] [image] The color changes are dynamic so when specific time is met it changes color. Can be text or background as shown. So as you can see we have some great new features coming with V5 when it releas…

If it’s only available in 5 please let me know and I will make the move to 5 now.

Also, I have a Waiter screen per the tutorial on here and waiters mark the order as “Served” once they serve it. I want to know if there is a way to change the entity color when that happens.

So my table is entity: T-1 - normally it is orange, but when a waiter marks the order in T - 1 as served I want it to change to green.

Can these be done?

Thanks.

Entity Color can be changed in V4 but Ticket Lister need V5 because it using script to set color.
If you already bought V5, why wait

Sukasem - Is there a tutorial or something so I can do that on V5?

Wait because I was scared my database would not be easy to move to V5…

A bit of a challenge, but sorted. Create a new Status called Occupied [image] Create an Automation Command for Table Occupied [image] [image] Plus the good old Update Program Setting if you don’t have it [image] Table Occupied rule [image] [image] Update New Ticket Creating Rule rule to reset Occupied [image] Update Update New Order Entity Color so it doesn’t change Table to New Orders [image] End result - Yellow Table indicates Occupied [image]
