Using Web Content on POS

-

Introduction

LS Central allows us to use HTML content on the POS which includes both Text and Images.

Users can add extra information related to the Items here which can assist in the POS Users to make the sales much more efficiently.

In this blog, I’ll be demonstrating how to configure the same.

Pre-requisites

  • Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
  • LS Central v16

References

Configuration

Open Business Central and search for POS Terminals.

Open the POS Terminal for the current Store and set the “Item HTML” and “Item Image” property to true.

Search for Retail Items and open the Item you want to add description and image for.

Open the Item Card and Go to Navigate -> Master Data -> Item HTML.

Here you can specify the description for the Item that you want to be displayed on the POS and click on Save.

For instance:

After that go to Navigate -> Master Data -> Images and click on New.

Click on Import and select the Image of that Item and then Click on OK.

Go to POS and search for the Item.

Double Click on the description of that Item to see the Image and the HTML Content.

You can even embed Videos if required!

Conclusion

Thus, in this blog we saw how we can utilize HTML content on POS.

As an additional side note I’d like to mention even using Javascript is possible, to a certain extent, so for those who are curious you can even create basic games for it.

Happy Coding!

Using Notifications in Business Central via AL

Introduction Notifications in Business Central are alerts that appears in the Notification bar based on User actions. Notifications stack up from top to bottom, lasting until the user dismisses them, including those from sub-pages.  Validation errors are prioritized and shown before other notifications. We can use this to alert the user regarding something without taking all the user's notification towards it, in the way messages or errors do. They also have the option to allow Users to make a corrective action by embedding the action button directly into the notification. Let's see how it works.

 Introduction Business Central has great email features like sending email, editing it with Rich Text, adding attachments, etc, but to send emails, you'll need to connect it with services like Outlook or Gmail. There is no outlook side configuration that is to be done if you are using Microsoft Outlook however if you are using Google's Gmail then there's a litte change that has happened on the configuration end. Starting May, 2022, Google has removed the "Allow Less Secure Apps" settings from the Google Accounts, which was essential is using Gmail to send emails from Business Central. However, to replace that we have "App Passwords" which we can use instead. Also, just something to keep in mind, Google is going to remove this from the "Google Workspace" accounts as well by Sept, 2024 so it would be wise for you to migrate your configurations to use app passwords.
