Loyalty

Improved member search from main view (RTP-24825)

When doing a member search from Sale's view, and no member is found according to parameter 'MemberIdentifiersRegEx', a "Member not found" dialogue, including an option to create new member, will be shown to cashier, but only if parameter 'SuggestNewMemberWhenScanningUnknownIdentifier' is activated. When deactivated (default), only a mesage saying the member couldn't be found is presented.

If parameter 'MemberCardEAN29Codes' is activated neither 'MemberIdentifiersRegEx' nor 'SuggestNewMemberWhenScanningUnknownIdentifier' has effect, and if no member found in loyalty database only a message saying the member couldn't be found is presented.

Info

Important information regarding upgrade!

For any store /Chain that uses integration with loyalty (Bridge, Voyado etc.) AND wants cashier to be able to create new member in POS there and then, IF member search results in "unknown member" message:

Existing parameter SuggestNewMemberWhenScanningUnknownIdentifier must now be activated (True) to trigger dialogue with option to create new member!

If not, only message saying "unknown member" is shown.

Previously this functionality may have been working even if the parameter was set to False, but not from now on!
