Other Settings:
Here in the ToastiBar ‑ Sales Popup App (formerly known as Sales Notification App), Other Settings have several options regarding popup-related timings, where users can customize it as per convenience. Those are discussed below.
1. Initial Delay: You can set the initial delay time as per convenience. The initial delay means when the page is fully loaded, after how much time you want to start to display the Popup. For example, if you set 4 seconds, then the app will start to display the first pop-up after 4 seconds.
2. Maximum Display per Page: You can control the number of popups to show for a page. It means the app will display the specified number of pop-ups on a page if the page is not reloaded. For example, if you set 20, then the app will display 20 pop-ups on a page if the page is not reloaded.
3. Display Time: You can set the pop-up display time. That means you will specify the time for which you want the popup to show. For example, If you set 5 seconds then the popup will appear on the screen for 5 seconds.
4. Delay between notifications: You can set the delay time between two popups.
5. Randomize?: By checking(enabling) this option you can allow auto delay time between two notification popups instead of fixed intervals.
6. Hide timeago part after: You can hide the time ago part by giving the values in seconds, minutes, hours, or days. For example, if you will enter 30 days then the orders will be displayed with time in the popups up to 30 days from the occurrence of the orders. After 30 days, the time will be hidden in the popups automatically.
7. Hide order after: You can hide the order by giving the values in seconds, minutes, hours, or days. For example, if you will enter 365 days then the orders will be displayed in the popups up to 365 days from the occurrence. After 365 days the order will be hidden automatically.
