Continuing with updates into 2016, we are happy to announce the release of Ver2.1.0, which adds additional features, introduced below.
This version adds the widely-requested ability to print a custom message on reception tickets as well as the ability to send a notification of ticket issuance on the calling screen.
Also, we have added “SINJO-KUN@Susaki City, Kochi Pref” to the skins, letting you enjoy Susaki's famous Nabeyaki Ramen with SINJO-kun.
Please don’t hesitate to update to the latest version of Serialna and try these new features today!

1.Custom messages for reception tickets

In the past, when a customer is issued a reception ticket on the reception screen, only essential information, such as the ReceiptNumber and the QR code for the email notification service, was displayed on the ticket that was issued.
Now, it is possible to add a custom message as well that the customer will see.
The message can be changed at any time from the menu, making it possible to include either a fixed message or a message that makes use of the current day and time information.
The message is extremely simple to set, as introduced here.

2.Ticket issuance notifications

In the past, we received a lot of feedback that when a ticket was issued, the result would only be that a single line of customer information was added to the calling screen, making it difficult to notice when a new ticket was issued unless you were always watching the screen.
With that in mind, we have added the ability to display a message on the calling screen when a new ticket is issued.
This feature is also very simple to use.

1.First, from the action button in the lower-left corner of the calling screen, choose “Request Settings.”

2.The new settings are located at the very bottom.

3.Under “Notify this device of issuing of ticket,” turning on “Notify via popup” will cause a message like the following to be displayed when a new reception ticket is issued.

4.Selecting “notify via notification sound” will cause a sound to be played along with the message.

This feature makes it easier for staff to notice when a new reception ticket is issued, letting them interact with newly-arrived customers right away. We do hope you will give it a try!

Added a new theme

Finally, we are happy to introduce the “SINJO-KUN@Susaki City, Kochi Pref” skin.
We hope it will join the existing skins in making your reception screen more fun to use!

Our apologies for the delay.
On October 9th, we released Version2.0.3 with support for iOS9.
Serialna now works without any issues on iOS9, so please take the time to update your version.

We apologize for the inconvenience caused to users waiting for this update.
We hope that you will continue to enjoy using Serialna.

In the previous post, we notified that the current version of Serialna (～Ver2.0.2) is not available on iOS9.
That status is not changed on the latest update, iOS9.0.2, either.
We continue to ask you not to update iOS.

We plan to release a version of Serialna that will address the issue with iOS9 in the next few days
and ask for your patience for just a while longer.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Current version of Serilna (～Ver2.0.2) is not available on iOS9.

We have added a switch to the main menu, so that you can turn on/off the Call by E-Mail Service.
This switch is only available if you have purchased the Call by E-Mail add-on.

▲Warning!▲

Unlike previous versions, opening the requests screen will not turn the Call by E-Mail Service on automatically.

When you return from the requests screen to the main menu

The Call by E-Mail Service remains "on".
If you try to turn the switch "off" when there are still customers who have yet to be called, the below message will appear:
"There remain numbers for those awaiting their call-out. If the email calling service is terminated, you will be unable to call the holders of these numbers through email. Do you still wish to terminate"

If you close the app with the home button

The Call by E-Mail Service will turn "off".
When starting up the requests screen, don’t forget to the turn the Call by E-Mail Service switch "on".

We hope you enjoy continuing your use of the Call by E-Mail Service.
