What is Pickcel Queue Management application and how to create it?

Pickcel's queue management application replaces the “take-a-ticket" system by allowing visitors to enter a queue from a digital kiosk or a mobile device. It will provide tokens virtually, and individuals can wait for their token number to be displayed on the screen to have their visit. 

To create a Queue Management application:

1. Login to your Pickcel account. Click on Apps module and search for Queue management app and click on Create app.

2. A pop-up opens. Enter an app name and a text to identify the Queue.

3. You can check the preview by clicking Preview, and if all looks good, click on Create App. The app gets saved in the Media module of your dashboard.

4.  Add it to a composition and share it on your screen.

You can also add a token by clicking on the +Add button at the top. 

3. On the right-hand side, click on Start, and the queue will start like this.

If the visitor doesn't show up, click on No show, and if the visit is done, click on Done. After either, the queue will move to the next one.
