Queue Management dashboard

Main Queue Setup

Main Queue Setup screen

General

Reset Time
At the specified time, the queue count will return to 0.
Maximum value for tickets/calls
If not 0, when tickets reach the specified number, the count returns to 0.
Alert if maximum users waiting are reached
Alerts the users using QM Pad that the specified limit was reached.
Allow ticket tolerance
Allows recalling a cancelled ticket X tickets behind, being X the specified value. This is used in cases where someone already has a ticket but left and then arrives late. If that person arrives within X tolerance, it can be recalled.
Time in seconds to consider ticket cancelled
If the time between calls from a single desk is shorter than the specified time, the ticket will be considered cancelled. This is a feature suitable for cases where the desks call tickets from a button and not a QM Pad, since it's not possible to manually mark a ticket as answered from a button.

Calling Sound

Specify the sound that is played when a ticket is called.

Communications

Player Port
In case the player port had to be changed it must be updated here so that the Queue Management system can update the player with the ticket calls.
Queue Port
This port is the one where all ticket systems will connect, like QM Pads and ticket dispensers.

Services/Desks

Services/Desks screen

Services

Configure here the services that will be provided. In the event of a multiple monitor setup, it's possible to specify in which screens will each service be available.

Attendance Desks

Desks can be configured the same way as Services, with a title and a description as well as specify the monitor it will be enabled on.

Desk priority level

Different priorities can be given to each service. A service with a higher priority will always be called first than another one with a lower priority, even if the ticket was taken earlier. Services with the same priority will be called by the regular ticket order.

It's also possible to fully disable a service in a given desk.

Users

Users screen

Users are used with the QM Pad. Each person can have a login to use the QM Pad and permissions can be configured for each of them. These users will also be able to login in the Queue Management Statistics

Name
The username
Password
The login password
Block IP address
Allow a user to login only in a given IP address
Allow manual call
If enabled, the user will be able to manually select a ticket from the list to call.
Allow user to change service
Allows the user to change the services he's answering to, within the ones he's allowed to answer by the permissions. Otherwise the user will answer all the services he's allowed to.
Permissions
Tells which services the user is allowed to answer.

Ticket Dispenser

Ticket Dispenser screen

Here will be a list of all the ticket dispensers in the setup.

To find a new ticket dispenser use the Search button.

Caller Buttons

Add Caller Buttons screen

Configure the hardware buttons used for calling the tickets, being them CLU or CLA. The buttons need to be connected to the computer in the Serial Port and then specified in the communication port to which COM port it corresponds to.

To know which button corresponds to each input number, use the Start Test button and then press the button. The input number should blink.

After all buttons have been mapped, it's safe to set actions and assign the buttons to desks.

In the case of CLA, the buttons need to be manually registered. This is done by specifying which INput number is to be associated with the list of actions and specify the button code. The button code is a code in the back of the CLA buttons.

Import/Export

Import and export functionality is available in the top right corner of the window allowing to interchange configurations between Queue Management installations.
