This way you'll be able to specify on which dates you accept orders for a specific area.

It is possible to click the Test Special Days button from the main list in order to access the tool used to test the special days.

In this last case, each special day found will mention all the rules that will be used for the selected date.

The list lets you search the operators by name, e-mail and code. In addition, it is possible to filter the operators with the following fields.

• Group - filter the operators by group (restaurant or take-away).

Here's a list of supported parameters.

• Code - in case you identify the operators by code, you can specify it here. Otherwise a random number will be used.
• First Name - the first name of the operator.
• Last Name - the last name of the operator.
• E-mail - the e-mail address of the operator.
• Phone Number - the phone number of the operator.
• Group - specify the group to which the operator should belong. Leave this field empty if the operator is able to handle both the restaurant and the take-away sections.
• Login User - the Joomla user account to log in within the Operators Area in the front-end. If the operator doesn't have an account yet, you can create it from this page by filling the registration fields.

• Enable Login - enable this option if you want to allow the operator to access the Operators Area page in the front-end.
• Keep Track Actions - enable this option if you want to store all the actions performed by this operator. The actions performed will be visible by clicking the button under the Report column.
• Mail Notifications - enable this option if you want to send an e-mail notification to this operator every time a new reservation/order is placed.
• All Reservations - enable this option in case the operator should be able to see all the reservations. Otherwise only the assigned reservations will be accessible. This parameter should be turned on only for a head waiter.
• Self Assignment - when this option is turned on, the operator will be able to auto-assign itself to reservations that have no assignments yet. Otherwise, the operator will have to wait that someone alse assign to it a reservation before to see it. When this parameter is turned on, every time the operator updates a reservation, it will be automatically assigned to it (only if not yet assigned). In case the All Reservations parameter is turned on, this won't be applied, because the head waiter could update the status of a reservation on behalf of a different operator. Head waiters are still able to auto-assign themselves to a reservation by using the dedicated dropdown.
• Assigned Rooms - select all the rooms to which the operator should be able to access. Leave empty to access all the rooms.
• Assigned Products - the operator will be able to see only the products that belong to the assigned tags. Leave empty to see all the products. This restrictions is applied only within the Kitchen page under the Operators Area. In example, a chef could be assigned to products that belong to tags that require a preparation of the dishes. A bartender could be assigned to products that belong to "beverages" tags.
• Manage Coupons - enable this option in case the operator is able to manage the coupons.
