To enable this feature, simply go to Settings -> Actions and toggle on the “Enforce action” option.

New Role Settings

Can edit transaction payments

This new role setting in Geelus provides enhanced control over transaction management. This feature allows administrators to prevent users from editing payments on a transaction, even if the option to edit the transaction itself is enabled. This ensures greater accuracy and security in payment processing by restricting modifications to the payment details, reducing the risk of errors or unauthorized changes. To enable/disable this feature,

  1. Navigate to Settings -> Roles
  2. Under features, check/uncheck the box for Can edit transaction payments option.

  2. Under features, check/uncheck the box for Can access customers from other stores (multi-store) option.

As you can see, the option to manually enter the discount or surcharge is greyed out, preventing the percentage from being manually entered. This feature is designed to ensure that only authorized users or certain configurations can modify these values, maintaining consistency and control over pricing and discount strategies.

 

Can Access Users with Hidden Roles
A new reseller portal role setting allows users to access others with hidden roles. This enables more granular control over who can view or edit sensitive user information.

Surcharge/Discount Report Enhancement

The “Surcharge / Discount Report” has been fixed to only show transactions with item-level or transaction-level surcharges/discounts, preventing confusion when both types are applied. This ensures that your reports are more accurate and easier to read, helping with clearer financial analysis.

Version Update Notifications

With this improvement, Geelus now provides automatic notifications when a new version is available. Users will be alerted on what’s new and stay on top of the latest features, bug fixes, and improvements without needing to manually check for updates.
