[New 4.1.37] Ask Question Action

[JTRTech]

Nice rather than move the print actions mark the orders as submitted before the normal print action picks them up as new. Good thinking, like it.

[Marian]

Thank you. Now it’s working.

1. 

2.

Only 2 rules and it’s fine,

[Marian]

It worked to the test machine, I had the Notepad printer (from samba). Now at the restaurant, I just tested it and when I click NO, it still prints, I don’t understand why, because the test machines has the same setups, DB, it’s a copy from the server(restaurant). Can you advise me where to look exactly, because I tried and no luck…thx

Did you restore the database from the test system, or did you edit SambaPOS on the life system.
If edit on the life system, possible a TYPO
Check your Automation commands

[Marian]

I AM BLIND. :)). thx for that, it was created in a rush…

[Peter_Cijsouw]

Sorry to botter you Joe I was following this tutorial… [New 4.1.37] Ask Question Action but im stuck here. Hope you can give me a hand thank you have a great day

[JTRTech]

Pretty self explanitory.
Automation Command Executed rule is triggered by command name.
Command value is a secondary value you can use for additional functions.

[EDER]

I tried adding one more constraint
but cant make it work.

[JTRTech]

Without fully knowng what your doing cant say for sure but why do you have command value constraint?

[EDER]

just following what you suggested here jj

[New 4.1.37] Ask Question Action

You would want to change buttons to Yes=Print Bill,No and remove print bill automation command name. Then make new rule with event automation command executed, set the constraint to command value equals print bill. [image] The buttons bit where Yes=Print Bill makes it so pressing yes sends automation command value of Print Bill which is what makes that new rule fire. No button has no value so nothing happens. You would also obviously need to put the ask question in to a rule. Simplest exa…

[JTRTech]

OK, so show the ask question action.

[EDER]

[JTRTech]

You need to set automation command name in the ask question action.
This changed in v5 vs v4. There was a bug in v4 which triggered rule on command value without command name.

[EDER]

I see…
automation command name in the ask question = done
The question display correctly but when I click the no button it prints

[JTRTech]

Your probably catching the default print bill rule.
Remove the mapping for that print rule and test. If it still prints that will be the case.
Check your other automation command for the default print bill rule if that rule isnt it.
If you already have a print bill command rule (the defalt one) you could just remove this new one and add a constraint to the origional rule for command value not equals No, that way default print button (with no command value) will print, and the ask question command will print for yes but not for no.
