How to set different button heights for different terminals

[Isaac]

As above.

As the screen on my TILL is quite big 21.5" I have set the button heights to fit the screen, however this causes scroll bars on the Tablet Terminal, which slows things down and makes taking orders on the tablet a lot slower.

I have cloned the Menu and set different button heights but how do you associate the menus with terminals without having to create new departments?

Are you talking about V2 or V3?

V2 - In the Department you can set the Menu for POS & Terminal (PC & Tablet)
V3 - This is set in the Ticket Type mappings

Hi John

Using V2.

In the department settings, is the terminal not for the terminal app?

My tablet is connected via RDP, pocketcloud so I thought it will look for the POS Menu?

[JohnS]

If your running SambaPOS (not the Terminal App) via RDP, then yes it will use the POS Menu.
The only way is to have a new Department.

You could try setting the Button Height to 0 (zero) to auto size the buttons, and then play with the Column Count on the Categories with lots of items.

Either way there is a trade off.

Tried setting the button heights to 0 and they went massive. This may be because I have images on them 

Currently I have 2 Menus= one for the POS and one for the Tablet (Both with different button heights)

I then have four departments 2 Restaurant and 2 Takeaway

1 Restaurant and 1 Takeaway is set to the POS Menu and
1 Restaurant and 1 Takeaway is set to the Tablet Menu

Then in the user roles I have restricted the POS user to only view the POS Menu departments
and on the Tablet User Role I have allowed the Tablet departments.

Only downside of this procedure is when printing reports, you get quite a few departments showing up instead of the 2.
