The functionality to swipe panel to the left or right is an option for the POS user in order to view another window; that is to swipe to the left and right panel.
This makes it possible for the POS user to have access to “another window” either to the left or right of the #POS and the #OFFLINE panels.
The main objective for the Swipe Panel in this version is the following:
- Used for panels #POS and #OFFLINE
- Intended to display information about the sale
The following picture explains the idea with the Left and Right panel in the POS:
