I would like to have a screen with the list of my tables and their orders so I can see several orders at once. For example I would like to see what table 3 and 7 have ordered at the same time and from the screen I can click on table 3 to add to order or to complete

Create a custom screen and put your tables on one side of the screen and put a ticket lister on the other side.

Please visit [Documentation](http://forum.sambapos.com/category/documentation) portion of the forum and read through it. There is a wealth of knowledge there and it covers almost everything.

This specifically might help you: It is not what you want but it shows how to use Custom Entity screens.

I’m sorry the closest I could find to a tutorial for adding ticket lister is this:

> [@\[HOWTO\] Ticket Lister Widget --\> Display Ticket](http://forum.sambapos.com/t/howto-ticket-lister-widget-display-ticket/1083):

> How do I get the Ticket Lister widget to display a Ticket when I click on one of the tickets in the list in the widget? I realize I could use the Ticket Explorer widget instead, but I cannot control the way the Explorer widget is displayed (i.e. change font size, choose columns, column width, etc.) On the topic of the Ticket Lister widget, I am confused about the setting values for Width, Min Width, Max Width etc. It seems the Lister is somehow linked to a Printer… that is, I can’t seem to se…

And I can’t seem to work out what to do

The re-appearance of deleted Widgets can be an effect of the Cache. Either Logout/Login to clear the Cache or switch in/out/in/out of Design Mode to update the display.

I have also noticed this if you press delete button on keyboard. It seems to work just fine if you right click then choose delete widget.

There is no option to delete widget when I right click it. Also, I still get a blank screen after editing the format @QMcKay

What actions, commands and rules do I need to properly display tickets, I tried this:

> [@\[HOWTO\] Ticket Lister Widget --\> Display Ticket](http://forum.sambapos.com/t/howto-ticket-lister-widget-display-ticket/1083/7):

> I simply want to click a ticket to make it display/open, so that I can add to it or settle it or whatever. The Lister widget just happens to be in my custom table screen. Here is the desired workflow in a Screenshot…

but not luck

Yes there is. You probably resized it outside of the screen. If you click the very edge of it usually it will popup.
