How to manage the queue, call visitors and serve visitors?

The Service View is the primary tool of customer service. This is where you can see all the visitors in line, call them for service, and fill in their information.

  • The left side of the Service View displays the list of visitors currently in line. It's called a ticket list.
  • Clicking a ticket card in the list opens the Ticket Details on the right side for the currently selected visitor.

Filter lines and select a desk

You can search through line and desk names to find what you need quickly in the line and desk selection. While you can select multiple lines by clicking on line names, you can also click on SELECT ALL or NONE options.

Add a visitor

You can add a new visitor to the queue by clicking on the +ADD VISITOR button in the bottom left corner. If you have an iPad connected, a QR code, or a Visitor website set up, then the visitors can sign in by themselves.

Completed

The Completed section displays today’s Served visitors, No-shows, and Removed visitors in your location. It displays completed Visits for visitors who signed in or were added today.

 

closed_section

Under the Completed section, you can see who finished the Service, labels for status, and timestamp. Click on the ticket card to see the visitor's details and edit the information.

Additionally, you can receive text messages from visitors after completing the Service and send a reply from the Activity & Messages on the Service View.

A notification will be displayed for visitors who have unread messages under the Completed section.

 

Actions with Completed Tickets

Even after a visitor has been marked as Served, you still have options to manage their ticket.

When you click on a ticket under the Completed section, the Ticket Details view opens. From there, you’ll see two main actions:

1. Return to Waiting

Need to bring the visitor back to the queue? Use the Return to waiting button.

You’ll be able to choose:

  • Return as first in line

  • Return as last in line

  • Assign to me — useful if you’ll continue handling their case

This is especially handy when a service was marked as complete too early by mistake.

 

2. Call Visitor

Want to quickly bring a visitor back without re-queuing? Click Call visitor.

Screenshot 2025-08-19 at 15.53.00

You’ll see a confirmation prompt:

“Visitor was previously served by you. Are you sure you want to call visitor again?”

From here, you can:

  • Confirm and call them back

  • Or cancel if it was a misclick

💡 Calling or returning a completed visitor can help smooth out service handoffs or fix accidental wrap-ups.
