Order Tags with free Tagging

[na1978]

Hi everyone,

I normally add a General Modifier (Order Tag with free Tagging) to all my product for servers to make changes to a product.

Is there a way to make Order Tags with free Tagging behave the same as what @RickH designed for Misc Item.

Thanks in advance.

V5 - Miscellaneous Item/Custom Item with price and description options

This database tool file will add the setup for a misc/custom item. Misc Item.zip (960 Bytes) Install Database Tools File Create a product called Misc Item (important that this is spelt exactly, including capital letters) Add the Misc Item product you just created to your menu categories log out of samba and back in to update menu change Select Misc Item from your menu category Enter Price and description in the keyboard that appears and press enter Misc Item price is update…

Maybe not from the order tag list but can probably do via an order level mapped button following most of his tutorial except just tagging the order and setting the tag price rather than the order price.

[na1978]

Anyway you can show how to set it up. I have been out of the loop for awhile and I am re-leaning SambaPOS.

[JTRTech]

Not at pc…
Youll want a tag order action and use [?prompt] function on the tag and tag price fields.
Think you need to trigger from an automation command mapped to order level rather than from a ‘tag type’ button.

Thanks @JTRTech.

I am trying to improve my Order Tag with free Tagging. Order Tag with free Tagging works good, I just need a alphanumeric keyboard to pop-up automatically when server clicks on Name field and a numeric keyboard when Price field is clicked.

Don’t think you can with the built in free order tag.
However you could do similar to Rick if you added the tag via a different flow.

@QMcKay

Beautiful. It is exactly what I was looking for. Can you please export if possible.

Thank you.

[JTRTech]

@na1978

I am relearning samba

You won’t learn using export/import :-p

[QMcKay]

@na1978

please export

Sure, but before I do, just one question for you.

Personally, I don’t like that it shows the Free Tag input box, and I want to hide it, because it is “useless” to me and it occupies valuable screen space …

The only way I could think to do that was to mark the Order Tag Group as Hidden, and instead use an Automation Command mapped to Order Line …

---

That means the Tag Group will not show in the normal Order Tag Screen, and we must use the button on the Left …

---

So the Question I have for you @na1978 is: which do you prefer?

[na1978]

@QMcKay

Hidden looks much better.

Thank you again.

[QMcKay]

This export contains both methods, but is currently set to Hide the Tag Group named Special Modifier and use the Automation Command.

@QMcKay

Your solution is brillant. Can you please point me where to replace “Enter” with “.” and delete “Cancel”

Thank you,

[QMcKay]

You will need to build out your own Custom Keyboard for that to override the default Numeric Keyboard.

Custom Keyboard Codes

As of v4.1.61 we can create Custom Keyboards to use with [?prompt] notation, and a Custom Keyboard Widget is available for Entity Screens. For [?prompt] notation, the syntax is: [?<prompt>;<mask>;<default value>;<flags>;<keycodes>] <prompt> is the question or prompt to display <mask> is a regular expression to define what type of characters (and how many) are allowed <default value> allows for a common value to be pre-entered <flags> lets you define the keyboard type and which buttons …

For [?prompt] notation, the syntax is:

[?<prompt>;<mask>;<default value>;<flags>;<keycodes>]

• <prompt> is the question or prompt to display
• <mask> is a regular expression to define what type of characters (and how many) are allowed
• <default value> allows for a common value to be pre-entered
• <flags> lets you define the keyboard type and which buttons appear on it
• O displays OK button
• C displays Cancel button
• N displays Numeric keyboard
• S displays Alphanumeric keyboard
• <keycodes> allows for specifying available characters or keys

---

The export is using this:

[?Enter Tag Price;;0;ONC]

That means it will supply default value of 0, use a Numeric keyboard, and have Ok and Cancel Buttons.

To remove the Cancel button:

[?Enter Tag Price;;0;ON]

To replace the default Numeric keyboard with our own custom keypad:

55,56,57|52,53,54|49,50,51|8,48,190

49,50,51|52,53,54|55,56,57|8,48,190

Assuming we want the 2nd picture:

[?Enter Tag Price;;0;O;49,50,51|52,53,54|55,56,57|8,48,190]

Or you can use the following which is much easier to read and understand thanks to Custom Keyboard syntax improvements:

[?Enter Tag Price;;0;O;"1","2","3"|"4","5","6"|"7","8","9"|<backspace>,"0","."]

Both of the above produce the same result:

@QMcKay and everyone else

Just wanted to say a big Thank You for all your help.
