Hello everyone

I need to create an ISL that will begin a check, upload the menu items, and then make the payment, but at the workstation where this should happen there is also an employee working. Can an ISL run in the background and do all the work without interrupting the employee using the workstation?
Thank you very much.
 
Not directly.

Actions in SIM basically macro together things that occur on the screen.
If you order a menu item via SIM then the user will see it on the screen.

You can achieve what you want by writing a C# DLL which interacts with the Transaction Services API. You can then call this via SIM.

How exactly you achieve this depends on what version you are using 3700, Simphony etc.

Thank you very much for your answer, if it's not too much trouble, I wanted to ask you to please share with me some examples of how to order a menu item from C# through Transaction Service, or if you can tell me where I can get information to do so. Again, thank you very much.
 
I forgot to mention that I have Micros RES 5.7. Thank you.
