Locations (on-premise)
In general, LobbyCentral defines Location as a physical building which contains at least one queue. However, in some instances, location can also be defined as two (or more) separate areas within the same building.
For example: An auto dealership may have a Service Department and a Showroom that exist in the same building. However, for reporting purposes, these two departments wish to be treated as individual locations.
Location Rules
- A User can access a service queue at any location, provided that the user has permission.
- A User cannot be logged into multiple locations at one time.
- You may create as many locations as you like.
- Each location manages its own set of service queues.
