Hello guys. Im trying to get SambaPOS to display waiter´s name on table layout, so that during peak times whoever is in charge of assigning tables, doesnt have to go into each table to find out whom it belongs to.
I followed this tutorial Changing Table Button Captions, but I believe I might be doing something wrong, since I cant get it to work… Any ideas?
Sorry removed my previous post i reread your request… try using {USERNAME}
Well its probably because it needs to read ticket data which it does not have access too. If you used Entities for waiters it would probably work.
You need to use a report tag to get user. {REPORT TICKET DETAILS:T.User:(TEN.Table=$1) and T.RemainingAmount>0}
Hi,
You can use Ticket Tags to store the Waiter’s name, and then use something like this in New Orders States Display Format:
<bold>$1</bold><size 28><br/>
₹{REPORT TICKET DETAILS:T.RemainingAmount:(TEN.Table=$1) and T.RemainingAmount>0:-}<br/>
⏱{ENTITY STATE MINUTES BY NAME:Tables.$1:Status} 👤{REPORT TICKET DETAILS:TT.Guest Count:(TEN.Table=$1) and T.RemainingAmount>0:-}<br/>
{REPORT TICKET DETAILS:TT.Waitstaff:(TEN.Table=$1) and T.RemainingAmount>0:-}</size>Instead of
... and T.RemainingAmount > 0
you can use
... and 'RemainingAmount > 0'
That will work a lot faster.
It is a good practice to post a screenshot of the configuration (eg. state config) instead of just “No, didn’t work”. Maybe you made a typo on your config.
I would guess you have sub reported and left entity ename wrapping the suggested expression as entity name is not what was suggested and a user name is being rendered within it when it wouldn’t have been expected using the expression shown
I apologize guys, for not uploading an image, from now on I´ll make sure its allways included.
Here is a screen shot of my State Configuration.
Do you have the option to show that turned on in your entity screen?
And are your tables actually called Table?
TEN.Table part should be your Table entity name. Like TEN.Mesero
Switch between entity screens to ensure caches refreshes.
Heres display format screen shoot:
And this is our layout :
I double checked, to ensure that the option its turned on:
Show that entity type setup.
