Highlighting the current menu button

[prismbeer]

On our main POS screen, we have upper level buttons for Drafts, Growlers, Wine, Food, Merch, etc. 

My question is, is there any way to have the group that is currently displayed be highlighted or have some other means of telling the operator which upper level group is currently selected? Our Drafts and Growlers are the exact same products (beers) and it would be nice to know that we are on Drafts as opposed to Growlers.

Make sense?

I can send a screen shot and more detailed inquiry if necessary...

Thanks!

You can solve it by giving different button colors to different groups. For example Drafts can have blue color and Growlers can have yellow. You can also give same colors to category buttons to visually indicate the category color.

We've done that, but we'd like to be able to visually identify which group/products are currently displayed. Is there a way to change the button based on it's state such as selected?

Hello prismbeer. This is a nice idea and until we implement such feature you can try something different.

• Navigate to menu editor and display "Drafts" items by clicking "Edit Product Properties"
• Click to "Tag" column and enter Drafts tag to all items. You can copy values by dragging little square dot like you do with Excel.
• Click OK and close screen
• Click "Edit Category" to display Category properties.
• Enter 100 to "Max Items" property.
• Click OK, Save Menu, Logoff and Login again.

Now you'll see a big "Drafts" button on top of your menu items in Drafts category. Clicking it will do nothing but it will visually indicate which category you are in.
