Ancillaries

A Category or Ancillary change instantly is populated throughout JOES. It will change all instances where that Category or Ancillary appears. Adding a new Category or Ancillary does not make it available at any store. A New Ancillary Category must have Ancillaries assigned to it to create any effect in JOES. A New Ancillary must be enabled on an item size at some store to have it appear.  

Click on Configure Ancillary Categories to view, edit, or add categories as directed by the Executive Director. 

Clicking on New Category adds a line “New Category” at the bottom of the list. Delete the “New Category” text and enter the Ancillary Category name requested by the Executive Director.

Set the Group Type as directed. Ancillary Group Type is an important concept to grasp. There are two Group Types, require_one and allow_multiple.

• Requires One - This Category is for things like Crust type, Sauce type, or flavor. Customers can only choose one Ancillary of that type for that Item Size. A Requires One Ancillary category can be set to enable quantity settings. A full salad has 2 salad dressings. A DME salad has 6. There must be a default choice for all Requires One type Ancillaries. The default can be “None” but there must be a default choice for every Requires One Ancillary Category for that Size.
• Allow Multiple - This Category if for things like Extras on Original pizzas. A customer may want Parmesan, red pepper, or ranch or two of them or all of them or none of them. Do not set a default choice for an Allow Multiple Category.

Set the Sort Order as directed. The Sort Order controls the sequence of where the Ancillaries in that Category appear everywhere within JOES. Then Save Changes.

The Category Name, Group Type, or Sort Order can merely be changed. Note the red triangle that appears in the upper left corner of the field edited. Then Save Changes. Note the red triangle is no longer present.
