Article dialogue: the seven horsemen

Images, variants, labels, recipe, deposit and included item in the article dialog of the Web desk.

On the right side of the **Edit item ** dialog, there are seven tabs: Images, Global Variants, Article-Specific Variants, Labels, Recipe, Deposit Items, and Included item. If not all items fit in the bar, you can scroll using the arrows. All changes are only saved after clicking Save in the bottom right corner. The fields on the left explain how to create, edit, and delete item.

Pictures

Upload image

Upload image

Click on Upload Image and select a file, at least 200 × 200 pixels. The image will be automatically resized during upload. You can add multiple images; the first one will be labeled Main Image. Use the handle in the top left to change the order; clicking on an image replaces it.

The POS app tile displays a section of the main image. After uploading, Image Crop opens; later, you can access it via Adjust Crop below the images. You define the crop for both tile formats, Image and Name and Image Only, and confirm with Apply. Images also appear on the digital menu, at the ordering terminal, and on your website. You configure how the POS displays images under Item Tiles: Images and Prices.

Global variants

Assign variant group

Assign variant group

In the Select Variant field, choose a centrally defined group, such as Size. It will then appear below with its options and surcharges. The X removes the assignment, and the handle on the left changes the order.

A change to a global variant affects all item that use it. They are created via ⋯ → Edit variants in the page header: Manage item variants.

Article-specific variants

Variant only for this item

Variant only for this item

+ Variant creates a variant that only this item has. Copy from global copies a global variant as an independent copy. The fields are the same as for global variants.

As long as a variant is incomplete, for example without a name, saving remains disabled.

Markings

Under Select Labels, choose all matching entries, for example A Contains gluten. Above that, enter the alcohol content in % vol; above 0.5% vol, the item is considered alcoholic by delivery services (proof of age required).
