Reports (DataNow)

Feature Updates:

Order State Updates to All Sales Reporting
- Order State Updates: We have refined the order states in the Filter Bar, removing approved_offline and completion_pending from the default list to prevent misinterpretations of received funds
Report Name Changes
- Venue Config Report: The report previously known as Item Config is now renamed to Venue Config due to it now including more reports beyond items.
Employee Pins Tile
- Employee Pins Tile Added: The Venue Config Report now includes an Employee Pins Tile. This tile will display comprehensive employee information, including pin numbers, employee roles, and the last order each employee took on the POS system.
  - Please note:
    - The last order taken will not include orders from the current date when the query is run.
    - It will consider orders from the past 15 months only.
    - If an employee shows a NULL value in this field, it means they have either not taken any orders on the POS or their last order was more than 15 months ago.
Refund Approver Name and PIN
- Refund Approver Details: The Refund Approver Name and Refund Approver PIN will now appear in the dataset for the Refund Details tile in the F&B Sales report and the Refund & Void Details tile in the Financial Sales report.

Settings

Feature Updates:

Added Manager PIN Requirements to Custom Tenders
- A new setting has been added to each Custom Tender to define if a manager PIN is required for usage. All existing Custom Tenders will not require manager PIN by default.

Bug Fixes:

Fixed an issue where a leading zero on POS Account PINs would be dropped after saving the account.
Added guidance to POS Account PINs for required PIN lengths.
