Auto-Assignment Rules

Rules may be created to automatically assign a check-in request to a user.  

Note: Auto-Assignment Rules apply to the Kiosk only.

• Rule Type: Select rule based on customer's first name, last name, or service selected.
• Condition: Conditions indicate what the rule should examine to determine if it qualifies.
• Equal to Condition 1: The rule will compare the selected rule type against the value in the Condition 1 field. If there is an exact match, the rule will trigger its action.
• Between Condition 1 and Condition 2: The rule will compare the selected rule type against the values in Condition 1 and Condition 2. If the value is equal to, or greater than, Condition 1 and equal to, or less than, Condition 2 the rule will trigger its action. Example: If comparing customer last name, where Condition 1 is set to A, and Condition 2 is set to H, any name beginning with A through H will qualify for this rule.
• Condition 1 & 2 Value Fields: Condition 1 & 2 fields are alpha-only and may contain up to three letters.
• Assign to User: The check-in request is assigned to the selected user. Important! This will override Requested Employee field in the kiosk.
• Status: The status enables or disables the rule being used in LobbyCentral.
