V3 Grouping for actions/rules
« on: January 19, 2012, 06:12:12 am »
Hi Emre,

I was reading your tutorial for counter set/reset and I thought maybe you  could group rules/action.
The problem is because Sambapos offers some many options/customation through the use of rule/actions it may become difficult to remember what rule action does what. Would it be better for something like the example; he actions/rules could be defined in a group.

Group Ticket Count Actions
Ticket Count Action 1
Ticket Count action 2
etc

Group Ticket Count
Ticket count rule
Ticket Count Action 1
Ticket Count action 2
etc

This would allow the keeping together of actions/rules and allow better management. I don't know how difficult this would be to implement but its just an idea for the future.

Emre,

I have noticed that the rules execute in the ordered they were created.

It would be nice to be able to reorder the rules.

Just a note on V2, I have found that I need to close the Rules tab, logoff and log back on to get the rules to update sometimes. Have you noticed the same behavour?

OK I already noted that ordering issue.

Rules uses cached data for operating faster.
For updating cache sometimes logoff login might needed.
