Noteworthy

• {EVENT AREA} - Select to include the name of the Area when printing Kitchen/Order/Receipt dockets using:
  • Touch - The Area has been selected from the Event grid when the Order/Sale is commenced.

• EVENT AREA} continued ...
  • POS API - If the first character in the BookingName field has an open bracket "(", and then a closed bracket is also detected ")", it will use the data between the two brackets and determine the Area, by doing the following:
    • Check if a Session is configured/scheduled at the date/time in the Location based on the TransactionDate in the POST/order request. If one is:
      • Numeric - It will attempt to locate an Area assigned to the Session based on the Area's ID (Id column) and return the Area's description (Area column) as the {SUITE NAME} or {EVENT AREA}.
      • Apha-numeric - it will attempt to locate an Area assigned to the Session based on the Area's description (Area column) and return the Area's description (Area column) as the {SUITE NAME} or {EVENT AREA}.
      • If neither of the above is located, then the {SUITE NAME} or {EVENT AREA} Field/Item/Variable will NOT be populated. This also means it won’t store the data within the brackets as the “SuiteId” in the raw transaction data.

 

 

• {EVENT NAME}  - Select to include the name of the Event when printing Kitchen/Order/Receipt dockets using:

• • Touch - At the time the Order/Sale is finalised, if there is an Event configured/scheduled at the date/time in the Location the terminal is assigned too, then the Session's Name will be returned as the {Event Name}.
  • POS API - The Session's Name will be returned as the {Event Name}, if a Session is located based on the “TransactionDate” in the POST/order request.

 

• {Event Name} continued ...
  • Back Office API - It is recommended that if the incorrect {Event Name} is being returned, to switch to using POS API. This can be done by selecting the Submit orders directly to POS Terminal option when activating a Location.
