Menu Manager v3.12.0

This release introduces Item Duplication, expands configuration options for Discounts, and delivers improvements to Tax Group management and general usability.

Enhancements

Item Duplication

Menu Manager now supports duplicating existing Items, making it easier to create similar products without manually rebuilding their configurations.

Users can select the Duplicate action from the Items list to open a new Item form with much of the original Item's configuration already populated.

The duplicated Item retains key information such as its name, description, pricing, Price Levels, Display Categories, Reporting Categories, Menu assignments, and Tax Group.

Unique fields, including SKU and barcode, are cleared to prevent conflicts with the original Item. Certain operational configurations, such as availability and Modifier Groups, must also be configured separately.

This enhancement reduces the time required to create similar Items across a venue while helping maintain consistency in Item configuration.

Item Discount Limits

Discounts now support an Item Discount Limit, allowing users to control the maximum number of qualifying Items that can receive a Discount within a transaction.

When configuring a Discount for Each Qualified Item, users can specify a maximum number of eligible Items or select Unlimited Items to allow the Discount to apply without an item quantity restriction.

This provides greater flexibility for promotions where only a certain number of Items should receive a Discount.

The Item Discount Limit is not applicable to Discounts configured for the Entire Check.

Daily Discount Usage Limits

Limited-use Discounts now support a Max Number of Uses Per Day setting.

Users can configure how many times a Discount may be redeemed per day, providing additional control over promotional availability and usage.

Existing Discounts also retain their configured usage limits when reopened for editing, simplifying ongoing promotion management.

Note: This feature is intended for use with Affiliations.

Improved Sales Event History

Sales Event deletion has been updated to better preserve historical order information.

When an eligible Sales Event is deleted, existing Orders retain their association with that Event, allowing historical transaction information to remain accessible.

Deleted Events are removed from active event selection and scheduling workflows, and their previously assigned Revenue Centers become available for use with other Events.

Completed Sales Events continue to be protected from deletion.

Fixes

Improved Tax Group Updates

Fixed an issue where newly created or updated Tax Groups and Tax Rates were not immediately reflected in Menu Manager.

The Tax Groups list now refreshes after changes are saved, providing a more accurate view of the current tax configuration.

Improved Charges and Fees Navigation

Fixed an issue where the final row in the Charges and Fees list could be obscured by the page footer.

Users can now scroll to and access all entries in the list.

Status App v3.3.0

Enhancements

Updated Navigation and Layout

The Status App has been updated to use the shared Canopy navigation and layout, providing a more consistent experience across Canopy applications.

The updated interface includes standardized navigation, venue selection, and account controls, making it easier to move between Revenue Centers and Global Items.

Improved Revenue Center Navigation

When editing Item availability from Revenue Center Settings, users are now returned to the relevant Revenue Center after saving or closing the Item details.

This eliminates the need to locate the Revenue Center again and simplifies managing multiple Items.

Improved Settings Updates

Revenue Center Settings now displays a loading indicator while changes are being saved, reducing unnecessary page refreshing and visual interruptions.

This improves the experience when adjusting availability, wait times, and other Revenue Center settings.

Fixes

Improved Venue Display Names

Updated the venue selector to display the configured Venue Display Name when available, providing clearer venue identification.

Access App v1.5.0

Enhancements

Application Stability and Maintenance

Updated shared Canopy components and supporting dependencies to improve application stability and maintain compatibility with the broader Canopy platform.

These updates maintain existing account, role, and permission management functionality.

Canopy v9.92.0

Enhancements

Improved Organization and Venue Navigation

Updated organization and venue selection behavior to better preserve the user's selected context when navigating through Canopy.

This improves navigation from direct links and helps prevent users from being redirected to an unintended venue within an organization.

Ordering Web v1.79.0

Enhancements

• General enhancements

Platform (Global)

Features & Enhancements

• Added support for scanning of media with Aztec barcodes on the POS

Bug Fixes

Reports / DataNow (Global)

Features & Enhancements

New: Serial Number Sales Reporting

A new Serial Number tile is now available in F&B Sales and Historic: F&B dashboards, giving visibility into sales by device serial number. 

Serial Number is also now a filterable field across most sales reporting dashboards — when applied, the filter automatically scopes to whichever of Date, Revenue Center, Revenue Center Group, or Menu is already selected, so results stay consistent with the rest of your view.

Note: Devices not running the Summit APK will display their Device ID in the Serial Number column instead.

New: Assigned Tickets Report

A new report displaying all ticketing data imported per event, along with the benefits associated with those tickets.

Bug Fixes

Improved: Date Range Filter Performance

Event Type and Event Name filters in Date Range now load faster in the filter selection, thanks to a backend optimization to how that data is retrieved.
