Using Ticket/Order States to Update Ticket Lister Widget

As an aside, why in the world would you want to “go back in time” and use a Ticket List Widget for a Kitchen Display? Tasks is definitely the way to go. They are much more flexible, and the Task Editor Widget has many more options than the Ticket Lister Widget, including Grouping on-the-fly.

You once quoted in the tutorial

@QMcKay

It is designed to show each Order individually. That means you submit 1,2,3,4,5 Orders on a Ticket and it creates a display that shows each of those Order individually on it’s own Task Card. That is the point of a Kitchen Display.

It is not designed to show an entire Ticket, because that is not helpful for a Kitchen Display. If you want to see entire Tickets with all the Orders on the Ticket, you have many options, like Ticket Lister, Ticket Explorer, Open a Ticket, etc.

^^ This is why haha.

But yes I did implement the KDS using Tasks but I’m having a minor issue with it right now.

I did this method because I was more familiar with Ticket Lister widget and all of its settings, and it opened my eyes to learning how states work :D.

Now I understand the KDS tutorial better because of the basic fundamental practice I found of doing the “Old School” way

Till I can figure out how to fix the mini issue with KDS Tasks Im having, I thought let me work out the old school way to have a better understanding of things.
