The Classic Status View<\/strong> app shows document statuses in solid colors with white text instead of the default light style, so you can tell each document’s status at a glance. It also hides the Expected Balance<\/strong> column from the POS sessions list. This guide explains how to activate and deactivate the app, the pages it changes, and the status colors after activation.<\/p>\n

      The app works on the following pages only; all other pages in the system keep the default style:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
      Page<\/th>\nWhat changes<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n

      Note:<\/strong> Only the on-screen look of the status changes; print templates and PDF files aren’t affected.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

      Hide the expected balance in POS sessions<\/h2>\n

      When the app is activated, the Expected Balance<\/strong> column is hidden from the POS Sessions<\/strong><\/a> list, so the cashier doesn’t see the expected amount before counting the treasury. The Net Sales<\/strong> column and the other columns stay as they are.<\/p>\n

      \n

      \u26a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      Warning:<\/strong> The column is hidden in the sessions list only; closing the session and calculating the differences work as usual.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

      Deactivate the app<\/h2>\n
        \n
      1. From the main menu, click Settings<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
      2. Click Manage External Apps<\/strong><\/a>.<\/li>\n
      3. Click Deactivate<\/strong> on the Classic Status View<\/strong> card.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Statuses return to the default style, the Expected Balance<\/strong> column appears again, and no data is affected.<\/p>\n

        Why doesn’t the classic view appear on a page?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n
        Cause<\/th>\nSolution<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n
        The app isn’t activated.<\/td>\nActivate it from Settings<\/strong> \u2192 Manage External Apps<\/strong><\/a>.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
        The page isn’t one of the supported pages, such as purchase invoices.<\/td>\nThe app works only on the pages the app changes<\/strong><\/a>.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

        FAQs<\/h2>\n

        Does the app change document statuses or session balances?<\/h3>\n

        No; the app only changes how things are displayed, and statuses and balances stay as they are.<\/p>\n

        Why doesn’t the Expected Balance column appear in the POS Sessions list?<\/h3>\n

        Because the Classic Status View<\/strong> app is activated, and it hides this column. To show it, deactivate the app from Settings<\/strong> \u2192 Manage External Apps<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

        Does the app change the look of the printed invoice or the PDF file?<\/h3>\n

        No; only the on-screen look of the status changes and print templates aren’t affected.<\/p>\n

        Can I activate the app for a specific user or branch only?<\/h3>\n

        No; the app is activated for the whole account, and it applies to all users and branches.<\/p>\n

        Do I lose any data when I deactivate the app?<\/h3>\n

        No; statuses return to the default style, and the Expected Balance column appears again, without any change to your data.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
