The primary purpose of this release is to provide reliability improvements and bug fixes.

Feature updates:

• This release continues to expand KDSX Logs to increase our ability to support the product in production.

  • KDSX logs now record the version of each one of the applications/libraries that are being used at the location. This includes Activate X, Interact X, Check Sync, and the UOP library.

  • KDSX logs also record detailed information for all the major printing operations, including:

    • Timestamp

    • Action (Manual Print, Auto Print)

    • Order IDs

    • Printer IP (or ID)

    • Operation result

      • These logs are recorded on both Standard Mode and Printer Proxy Mode.

Install/Reset Instructions:

• While investigating production issues (network usage, order sync delays, and stoppages), our team identified a gap in our processes - Enterprise Resets and Clear Data are not always clearing all the data from the local applications. This leads to the persistence of these issues after a reset.

• This will be remedied in our next release. For now, users must follow these steps when resetting a location with KDS Android:

  • Force stop each app (AX, IX, CS, & KDSX)

  • Clear Storage in every app

  • Launch Check Sync (and confirm that it is Started)

    • Start Server manually if needed

  • Launch apps

  • Configure each app with Check Sync IP

  • Log in on every app

Bug fixes:

• KDSX will not be impacted by Canceled orders - live orders will still appear on the KDS screen. This bug fix was previously released in KDSX 5.10.1.

• Changing the paper on any KDSX printer no longer results in delays/errors in the app.

• The KDSX UI now shows the correct font sizes.

Known limitations:

• Order Types are not supported when running with Checks in Connect Mode.

  • If the location is set up to use order types and the accounts/roles use Checks, the orders will not show on KDS.

• When changing the order status on a Vendor KDS, the corresponding Subvendor KDS status is changed automatically.

• When operating with the Filter Split/Combine Updates flag enabled, any items added to a split check in Activate X will appear in separate cells/chits on KDSX.
