Modifying Custom String Keys: Removing Required Parameters

Example: Removing the Guest Name Parameter

Consider the following custom string in a POS system:

Hey {{$1 guest name}}, please enter your phone number.

If we remove {{$1 guest name}}, the message becomes:

Hey, please enter your phone number.

This modification makes the message more generic and removes the dependency on a guest name parameter.

Steps to Remove a Required Parameter

1. Locate the Custom String Key – Find the string in the system settings where dynamic parameters are used.
2. Identify the Parameter – Look for placeholders in curly braces, such as {{$1 guest name}}.
3. Edit the String – Remove the unwanted parameter while ensuring the message still makes sense.
4. Save and Test – Apply the change and verify that the modified message displays correctly.
