Name: |
Main Screen Optimisation (Touch Friendly Main Screen) |
|
Description: |
The main screen has now been converted into a customisable screen allowing you to re-position the traditional left navigation panel. In addition to this, a user can now add background images, buttons, labels and text fields (capable of displaying values from the database such as daily sales totals etc). Buttons can be linked to common functionality such as opening the sales screen or reprinting the last receipt. This new feature will greatly enhance the main screens usability for both touch screen and standard monitor environments alike. |

Project |

Name: |
Label Printing (A4 Sheets) - Improved Label List Manipulation |
|
Description: |
In the previous release, we added new functionality to make the in memory label list persistent, so that it would remain accessible after Amicus had been closed and restarted. With this release, we have replaced the old A4 Sheet printing dialog with a new dialog that allows the user to load products from the persistent list, by code, or by multiple queries to the database restricted by a variety of product filters (departments, product groups etc). With this new dialog, it is also possible to select and print a subset of the on-screen list, track when a product label was last printed, and retain a list for multiple print sessions. |
