Display Order Tags via Automation Button or Entity Button

[kenyong3671]

Hi All Gurus,

I am setting a sambapos for chinese restautrant (previously using V.2).
With the powerful configurable V4 are we able to call up order tag via a widget button or using automation command. Been trying out a few times myself using automation function but cant get it.

The reason for having a “Modifier” call button beside the standard food modifier (order tag) is that in chinese resturant there are way too many food modifier (like cooking and condiments preference, etc) to be added in one dish. If this order tag are to be call out upon normal order tag method, the order tag screen will not be able to fit with the standard oreder tag.

What i need is a call button where only it is press or selected it will display on screen for waiter to select the modifier.

Also i found that the “\r” doesnt work on the order tag.

attached is the screen shot, first 3 groups of order tag are considered force modifier. where the cooking method (order tag) is the one that need to be using call out button.

Thank you for the help

You can use Order Tag Categories and/or Order Tag Prefixes & Filters to reduce the number of modifiers presented to you at once.

Using Categories, you can achieve something like “pages” of Order Tags:

[NEW 4.1.70] Order Tag Category Tags

Order Tag Category Tags allows us to split order tag selection screen into different categories. This is what you’ll have when you have a lot of tags. You need to scroll to see all possible tags.

At first screen we’ll see uncategorized tags and when we click on a category button we’ll see groups tagged with that category tag. [image] We can click on back button to retur…

Using a combination of Prefixes and Filters, you can achieve a similar result:

[New 4.1.22] Filtering Order Tags by Prefix

If you have a lot of order tags that begins with common words such as No, Add, Less, you can use Order Tag Prefixes feature for creating simpler screens. You can read more about it here [New 4.1.18] Order Tag Prefixes. As 4.1.22 release it will be possible to filter tag buttons by prefixes. By using this feature you can create even simpler screens. I’ve configured these prefixes for my order tag group. [image] I want to display beverage related tag buttons only if I select Beverages Prefix.…

Hi QMcKy,

Again thank you very much for enlightened me on order tag. if i would try out the categories Tag, i will not be troubling you again. For the prefixes i was able to understand it immediately when i put my hand on V4. it must be my overlook that i didnt see it.
Another thumbs up.

Thanks
