Integration or Product

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

July
- Updated Misc. Data types so a failure no longer prevents all misc. data types. Now we will log errors but continue to cache all successful misc. data types.
  - Build 23.7.5

March
- Read Ticket Order mode - This updates the way we map Order Type for Aloha Tickets. Historically we believed that Aloha did not have a ticket level order mode concept and so we chose the OrderMode of the last item ordered. We found that Aloha does have a concept of an order level OrderMode that we will now use. In Aloha TS this is based on the first item order and in QS this is based on the last item order. Therefore this update will be a change to the ticket responses for Aloha TS systems.
  - - Build 23..3.6

- Live Ticket Order Type filtering - adds the ability to filter live Tickets by Order Type id on Aloha when ExposeOrderModes=True
  - Build 23.3.6

  - Build 23.6.20

July
- Introduced a new ticket syncer in order to support pulling new tickets more quickly. This also decreases the historical ticket lookback from 48-36 hours.
