Split-screen layout and rotating messages

Overview

• When promotional content is enabled and an order is active, CDS uses a split presentation rather than replacing advertising completely.
• In landscape, the configured Order panel width controls the left/order area and the remaining width is used for the side content.
• In portrait, the same setting controls the order area's height proportion.
• The side area reserves an upper message/customer card and a lower media area when media exists.
• If a customer is attached, the message card shows their first name and available points. Otherwise, configured Store messages rotate every 10 seconds.
• If no custom messages are configured, MiniTill uses friendly built-in fallback messages.

When to use this

• Use split-screen to keep promotions visible during service without making the live order too small to read.

Step-by-step

1. Start with the recommended 42% Order panel width.
2. Run a realistic order containing long product names and modifiers.
3. Adjust width if order readability or promotional visibility is poor.
4. Add short Store messages if desired, one per line.
5. Test both customer-selected and guest orders to see the loyalty card versus rotating messages.

Common mistakes

• Do not fill messages with long paragraphs; the side area is intended for quick scanning.
• Do not expect fallback messages to rotate when a customer is selected—the customer/points card takes that space.
• Do not expect split-screen content when promotional content is disabled.

Troubleshooting

• If custom messages are not shown, confirm the order has no selected customer and promotional content is enabled.
• If the order feels cramped, increase Order panel width within the supported range.
