What's New?

The following release notes detail the enhancements we have included in this release.

GAND-19 Revised and expanded features in Authorized Devices screen

We have modified and added various features to the Authorized Devices screen. To access the Authorized Devices screen, log into the Admin Console and select an appropriate account and location. In the Admin Console's Main Menu, click Location Setup, then click Authorized Devices.

The Authorized Devices screen features a list of all POS devices that are currently (and formerly) within the location's network. Each device listed in the screen includes an Actions list, which enables you to perform various actions to manage the specific device. In the Actions list, we have replaced the Troubleshooting option with the Manage Device option. 

If you click Manage Device, the program accesses the device's Manage Device screen. This screen features three tabs: Device Info, Logs, and Remote View.  

The Device Info tab displays various information about the device and its current condition. 

The Overview section displays the following information about the device:

• Device Name
• Serial Number
• Genius Device ID
• Device Model 
• OS Version Number 
• Time Zone setting 
• Last Comm with Genius 
• Menu Version
• Genius App Version number 
• Genius App type 
• Ticket Prefix (if any) 
• IPv4 Address 
• Connection Type (Wi-Fi or Ethernet) 
• SSID (Wi-Fi name)

The Files on Device section displays the number of each of the following file types on the device:

• Tickets 
• Messages 
• Waitlist
• Kitchen Slips 
• Item Stock
• Files Waiting to Upload 
• Table Combines 
• Time Punches 
• Cash Drawers
• Drivers 

The Logs tab features a list of existing log files generated for the device. To review an existing log, click the log in the list. To generate a fresh log file, click Force Log. 

The Remote View tab features controls that enable you to retrieve screenshots from the POS device. 

If you click Request Screenshot, the selected device will take a screenshot of its own screen, upload it, and display it in the Remote View tab, where you can review it.

Receiving and displaying a screenshot may take some time. If you click Refresh to periodically refresh the screen, it will eventually display the image name, along with the names of any other screenshots or logs.

GAND-55 'Pricing Only' permission added to Admin Portal User screen

Log into the Admin portal and access an appropriate account. In the Admin Portal's Main Menu, click Users. In the Users screen, select an existing user. In the User Settings screen, we have added the Pricing Only check box. 

If you select the Pricing Only check box, the Admin Portal will allow that user to access the Items screen and edit the prices of any sold in that location. The Admin Portal will also allow that user to enable or disable the Available Online check box. The Admin Portal will only allow users with the Pricing Only to edit prices for their specific locations, and it will not allow them to make any other changes to a location's items or menus. 

The Pricing Only permission is intended to give certain users (such as francisers) the ability to edit a location's menu item prices while restricting their ability to change other features of the location's menus.

GAND-2594 Account Menu screens redesigned for mobile devices

We have redesigned how the Admin Portal's Account Menu screens display when accessed with mobile devices. These changes are designed to improve your ability to navigate, view, and use the screens when you access them on a mobile device. 

We have applied these changes to all screens in the Account Menu:

• Menu Items
• Menu Sections
• Menu Groups
• Sizes
• Attributes/Tags
• Kitchen Groups
• Report Categories
• Daypart Categories
• Revenue Centers
• Modifiers
• Ingredients
• Context Items
• Taxes
• Pricing
• Discounts/Promotions
• Service Charges/Fees
• Void Reasons
• Upsell Profiles
• Upsell Groups
• Translations
• Tax Groups

For all of these screens, we have made the following changes:

• Settings display in full pages, rather than panels, thus taking full advantage of the device's limited screen space.
• Action buttons are located at the top of each screen, rather than the bottom, so they are easier to access.
• Those action buttons now adapt to the displayed screen size.
• The program can display its screen in either portrait or landscape mode.

Screens with long lists of records are paginated and include controls for accessing each page and setting the number of records  listed on each page. (By default, it displays 10 items per page.)

We have also changed or added certain controls to manage lists (such as the Sizes list in the Items screen). We have added the Delete All button, which deletes all items in its list. We have also added the Reverse Order button, which reverses the order of the items displayed in the list. 

To view a tooltip, you can tap the ? button beside its control. 

We have also redesigned the controls for adding images to records. Image tiles display larger in the Images screen, and we have added the Upload Image tile. 

If you tap the Upload Image tile, the program opens the Upload Image panel. This panel is now condensed, with the Image Name and Type lists now adjacent with the image display box. 

And throughout various screens, we have stacked certain controls and settings to reduce their width.

Updates

The following fixes are included in this release.

GSUPP-709 Admin Portal no longer ignores end-of-day setting when displaying reports after midnight

In previous versions, if your location's configured end-of-day time is after midnight, you may have encountered a problem with reports in the Admin Portal. Specifically, if you accessed a report after midnight but before the location's end-of-day time, the program may not have displayed all information for the current day. Instead, it may have filtered all transactions performed before midnight as occurring in the previous day. 

For instance, if the location's end-of-day time was 4:00 AM and you accessed the Daily Summary Report at 3:00 AM, the Admin Portal may not have displayed any information from transactions performed before midnight while applying its default Time Range setting (the current day). In such cases, if you selected the previous day in the Time Range list, the program displayed information from transactions performed for the current day prior to midnight. In effect, when displaying information in its reports, the program ignored the location's configured end-of-day setting and used 12:00 midnight as the end-of-day time. We have corrected this, and now when you access a report after midnight but before the location's configured end-of-day time, the Admin Portal displays all of the current day's information properly.
