Full-screen, bare layout (no admin sidebar). Top bar shows school logo, counter name, and status badge (Online / Paused / Offline).

Main Sections

  • Current Ticket — The ticket currently being served (large display number, visitor name, service, priority type)
  • Waiting Queue — List of tickets waiting for this counter
  • Missed Tickets — Tickets that were called but not responded to
  • Served Today — Count of completed tickets by this counter today
  • Workflow Steps — For multi-stage services, shows remaining steps

Start Serving S Begins the service timer
Complete C Marks ticket completed (or advances to next workflow stage)
No-Show M Marks the called ticket as missed
Cancel X Cancels the ticket with optional reason

Transfer Modal Fields

  • Target Office — required
  • Transfer Notes — optional, max 500 characters
  • Priority Boost — optional, 0–99 extra points added to ticket priority score

Walk-In Issue Modal Fields

  • Service — required
  • Visitor Name — optional
  • Priority Type — required (default: normal)

Multi-Stage Workflows

If the service has a defined multi-step workflow (e.g., Registrar → Cashier → Releasing), completing a ticket at one stage automatically creates the next stage ticket in the next office's queue. The remaining steps are shown in the Workflow Steps panel.
