Just want my ‘Swipe In Member’ button only visible when the till hasn’t got a ticket open as itll automatically do it when its settled anyway.7

Needs to be there to swipe in other members who are just playing but not buying anything

EDIT:

Whilst thinking about it I’m not sure how to actually achieve the end result.

In my head this is how it would work, button is pressed to swipe in a member (When a member is swiped in on the numberpad it already tallys up the visit and the date they visited) I then swipe the card and it runs the automation for THAT member but doesn’t choose them…

any ideaS? ☹

the other idea I had was to create a new department JUST for swiping in. on swipe, it selects entity, tallys up, sets date and then deselects entity and closes ticket

thoughts?
