Queues (on-premise)

Queue Types

Queues are used to hold pending customer requests in the order they were entered and contain the service reasons for each of those groups. There are two types of queues, Customer Queue and Work Queue.

Customer Queue	The department or group, used to hold walk-in customers. Each location maintains its own set of queues to keep check-in requests isolated from other locations. A customer queue captures the total time the customer waited, and the length of service.
Work Queue	A work queue is used for customers who are not present, or for situations where wait time is not applicable. For example, customers who email or call for assistance would be added to the Work Queue. Work queues only track time spent with the customer. Wait-time is not tracked because the customer is not present at the location. Work queues do not require a location.

Queue Visibility

A queue may only be assigned to one service location. Each location maintains its own set of queues, and they are only visible to the user(s) assigned to them. Queue assignment can be managed when editing a queue, or a user.
