I have one more suggestion for you to please consider. It would be great if V5 had an option for over the air updates. I get that not everyone will want over the air updates for the core software, but there are some of us who would want automatic updates of the core software to a new stable version. It would be great if this was an option.
Hi emre, for custom reports, I have an idea to simplify it’s use.
You could design custom reports user interface like Microsoft Excel’s pivot tables feature. You have fields and entities you can drag and drop into columns and rows.
For any calculations required, you can open a separate dialogue box which will only show the fields and entities already in use in the pivot table. Think of MS Access query feature. From this new dialogue box, the user can create links between fields and entities by using common symbols such as +,×,÷ or = between the fields and entities to write out their formula.
Once the report is designed, the user can save it with a name and access it when ever they like.
PS. Here is link to the Documentation Wiki you will see that it is not complete as it was a community project and we had only select few contribute but it does have very good information.
I’m glad people started asking things even biggest companies with largest teams does not have. imho we’re doing really great lol… As we’ve formed a beta team I expect to release public releases less frequently to improve quality of stable releases. V4 updated almost 2 or 3 times every week but for V5 we’ll release a new update once every 2-3 months. Unfortunately the best we can do for V5 is noticing user for new updates. For now I don’t think updating a production system automatically is a good idea. However I agree that needs a solution. Web based POS solutions doing great for updates but that solution still has disadvantages for mission critical operations. We have a great idea for V6. Not cloud, not web based but intelligently compiled hybrid solution that combines most benefits of these. We’ll test few ideas (JScript integrations, auto configuration, custom reporting, etc) with V5. You’ll see automatic updates for some specific features soon.
Also thank you for the pivot table idea. We also have some pivot table samples here.
What would be the results of updating from V4 to V5 on a existing system.
I have now 2 systems running, not perfect but doing the job, as I’m also a new-bee and still have to learn a lot.
I managed to set up the 2 systems within 3 weeks without any prior SambaPOS knowledge.
I do have an IT background, so this is helping a lot.
I do strongly believe that SambaPOS has a great future and like even in a developer situation I could maybe help as a test case.
Keep up the good work, and hope V5 is soon lounged.
Hi guys, quick suggestion. Will it be possible in V5 to have an option to download a clean copy, without any testing data or mock up restaurant?
Or have a simple way to clean the historical data?
Thank you
PS. Thank you to everyone who has answered my previous posts. I’m on here late at night after work and don’t get the time to respond to everyone, but do appreciate the help. Thank you
I’m aware of this, however this is more of a work around which relies on the file being saved locally and the file being opened using an audio player. This also doesn’t work across devices, unless you had the file saved in the same location on every device etc.
There has to be a way to trigger a system sound. I mean software uses system sounds everyday.
The tricky bit is to only trigger the system sound on only the device(s) which has the kitchen display or bar display open and only when either of those tabs are open.
