Table Status

 

Table Status Maintenance allows you to define the available statuses for your dining tables.

 

The maintenance screen is divided into the following three sections:

 

Maintenance Grid

The grid area displays the currently defined table statuses. All fields are display-only and all modifications to a status must be done by selecting the item row and modifying the fields in the data entry area. Once the focus is within the grid area, you may use the arrow-up and arrow-down keys to navigate through each of the rows. All defined values for the selected item will be displayed dynamically in the data entry area.

 

 

 

Select All

Clicking on the upper left corner of the grid will select all statuses. To select multiple contiguous rows, select the first row then press down the SHIFT key on your keyboard and while the SHIFT key is pressed, select the last row in your range. To select multiple rows that are not contiguous, select the first row then press down the CTRL key on your keyboard and while the the CTRL key is pressed, select each subsequent rows that you want to include in the selection. Once you are done selecting all your rows, you can release the CTRL key. All data edits or option changes will be applied to all selected rows. Pressing on the Delete button while in multi-select mode will delete all selected rows.

 

Please note that the "Free" and "In Use' status are predefined and required by GoPOS and can not be deleted.

Item Row Maintenance

Right clicking on any of the row numbers will display a pop-up menu that will allow you Delete, Insert or Duplicate a row. Rows may also be deleted, inserted or duplicated by using the delete, insert or duplicate buttons in the buttons area.

Column Sort

Clicking on a column header will sort the rows either in ascending or descending order, A small arrow at the top of the column will point up for ascending or down for descending order.

 

Data Entry

The data entry area dynamically displays the currently selected status.

 

 

 

Table Status Id

Enter a unique integer value to identify the status. Required field. Duplicates not allowed. The predefined "Free" and "In Use" status Ids can not be changed.

Color

Select one of the colors from the color palette. Placing the mouse cursor over each color square will display a tool-tip indicating the color name.

 

 

On GoPOS the tables defined within each dining area will change color based on the current status of the table. When a table is "Free", the table will be displayed in the dining area with the specified "Free" color. Once a server presses on a table and opens a seat (account) for the table, the table status will change from "Free" to "In Use" and change color accordingly. All other changes to the table status must be done manually by the server with a long press on the table. This will present the server with a pop up selection with all the defined table statuses. Once the table status has been changed the table color will change to reflect the new status. If IRC is enabled, all APOS devices in the network will also be updated to reflect the table's new status.

Caption

Enter the status name or tittle. Required field. Max 25 characters.

 

Buttons

The buttons area consists of the following 5 buttons:
