Create an Automation Command

Create an entity screen

Create an action

and rule to fire that action, and show the entity screen

Now, ive shown you screen shots of what to do because the above is pretty simple


The next is a little tricky. Its all about setting it up so it lists properly.

Go to your POS screen and click the ‘Closed Sales’ button we just created, and itll take you to the entity screen we also created.

Right click and you should see ‘Design Mode’, click that.

Right click, add widget > ticket lister

Right click over that widget and go to settings, you will see this:

its only the entity screen that’s a bit of a pain, but the rest is simple enough
 1 action, 1 rule, 1 automation command, 1 entity screen
 how much more simpler do you want it!!!

LOL!

more or less like a report.(thumbs up mate)

It’s only really meant as a quick solution for those annoying customers that come back 10 minutes later and ask for a receipt. If it’s next day it would be simpler to go and search it the usual way :slight_smile:

loool you dont know how many people do that everytime but at least it helped you think of a solution. :slight_smile:

I know it’s been forever since you posted this, but oh my god is it going to be useful in my systems. Thanks so much for the easy explanation, everything works apart from one tiny detail.

When clicking anywhere on the ticket I want to print, it opens a fresh new ticket, instead of showing me the previously paid ticket. I figure it’s either in my Display Ticket Rule, or in the setting of the ticket widget. I’ve attached screenshots of both.

Rule

Widget settings

There is something missing in the Tutorial/Setup.

The Entity Screen uses an Entity Type called “Closed Tickets” 


Where is the setup for that Entity Type?

How does the “Closed Tickets” Entity Type get assigned to Tickets in the first place? It probably does not I suppose, since it isn’t really necessary?


Where is the Rule for “Display Ticket” ? What Actions are in that Rule? Where is the definition for the Action(s) in that Rule?

This should work for the Action and Rule:

It’s an age since I did it.

As far as I’m aware everything is set correctly unless updates have broken it, but I doubt that as I use it daily.

When I get back to work Tuesday I’ll have a proper gander and get back to you

Matt

Correcting the Display Ticket rule fixed it. It previously opened a new ticket, but now it opens the corresponding ticket on the closed lister. Thanks man!
