How to: Identify Allocation Statuses Visually

Comparing and editing Status Menus

In the Dining Area there are three POS menus that visually identify the allocation status of dining tables for each of the views, timeline, graphical, and dining table list.

The POS menus All. Timeline Tbl Status Menu, All. List View Status Menu, and All. Gra. Tbl. Status Menu are all used to identify the allocation status that a dining table can have: Free, occupied, free-reserved, occupied-reserved, joined and not available. It is necessary to have a specific menu for each of the views, because the information you want to show on a grid column, a button spanning many columns, and a graphical button is not the same:
