Dynamic menu buttons on Store Commerce App

Hi Community,

we've been asked the feasibility to show some dynamic-colored-buttons on POS screen.

At very high level, we need to implement a process that, on a timer basis, ask an external system about current status of 4 stations and then updates the color of 4 buttons accordingly. We'd like to use buttons because we already have an operation connected to those stations so it would be clearer to the user having only one representation of those stations.

Is there anything OOB to change programatically the appeareance of a button? Should we instead develop a custom component?

Any experience with similar requirements?

Thanks a lot

Dynamic menu buttons on Store Commerce App

Hello,

To implement dynamic-colored buttons on the POS screen in Dynamics 365:

Out-of-the-box (OOB): There is no OOB solution to programmatically change button appearances in POS

Custom Development:

Create a custom component or POS extension to dynamically update button colors.

Set up a timer to periodically fetch the status of 4 stations from an external system (via API).

Update the button color using JavaScript, manipulating the DOM or styling through CSS classes based on the status

Considerations:

You’ll need to use the Retail SDK, POS customization, and JavaScript/HTML to achieve this.

Manage timeouts and performance to ensure the periodic checks don't impact POS operations

In summary, a custom solution is required for this functionality

Best regrds,
