Ticket Dispenser

Ticket Dispenser


Overview

The Ticket Dispenser is a piece of hardware in the Moviik ecosystem that displays available services and issues tickets for the services of a branch.

This device is the first point of contact between the customer and the queue management system, starting the customer journey by screening visitors and organizing queues.

Welcome your visitors on-site and have the service they are coming for displayed upfront.

SOFTWARE: Configure LOGIC, APPEARANCE, OVERALL TEXT FIELDS, & POPUP DIALOGS

  LOGIC  

When the logic tab is active users can set up and configure the ticket dispenser basic settings, viewing and copying the connection key and choosing available device services. Users can also set a home page timeout (in seconds), choose ticket buttons layout, and modify the printed ticket layout.


Ticket Dispenser Basics

In this section you can set a Name and a Description for the Ticket Dispenser.
If you need to set up multiple Ticket Dispenser devices, you should decide on naming conventions, to make these devices easily identifiable by backoffice users.

Connection key

The Connection Key is a system generated value and cannot be modified. Users can only copy the value and use it when setting up a device.
This section is used to check and copy the device's Connection Key.

Device Services

This section is used to define which services are enabled on the Ticket Dispenser.

There is a toggle to Activate All Services, which enables all services and makes them available to select on the Ticket Dispenser

Alternatively, with the toggle off, you can define a custom selection of services to be available on the Ticket Dispenser. You can also group services with custom Service Groups.



Home Page Timeout

In this section branch administrators can set a custom home page timeout in seconds. This enables Ticket Dispensers left unattended to reset their screen automatically. 

Example:      Customer browses service groups and leaves the interface open in a specific service group.
After the time specified in Home Page Timeout (Timeout in seconds field value), the interface refreshes and returns to the Home Page.
    


Ticket Buttons Layout

In this section you can choose the information that is displayed in the Ticket Dispenser Ticket Button; whether or not to Show service description, Show tickets ahead, and Show time expected or not.

In the Appearance section, you will be able to configure these buttons thoroughly.

The first usable control is a preview of how the ticket button will display on the device:



It is possible to adjust the amount of space taken up by the different elements of the ticket button, and it's possible to customize each of these elements individually.
