SchoolAide Queue — Module Overview
SchoolAide Queue is a cloud-based digital queue management system designed for Philippine schools and offices. It replaces paper number slips and disorganized waiting lines with an organized, real-time system that:
- Issues numbered tickets to visitors at a physical kiosk, on the web, or via a mobile device
- Routes visitors through one or more service counters and offices
- Displays live queue status on TV screens in waiting areas
- Sends email notifications at each step of the queue journey
- Allows visitors to pre-book appointments for a specific date and time
- Gives administrators real-time visibility into operations and historical reports
Who Uses It?
| User Type | What They Do |
|---|---|
| Visitors / Students | Join queues, book appointments, track ticket status, submit feedback |
| Counter Staff | Call, serve, transfer, and complete tickets at their assigned counter |
| Queue Managers | Monitor live operations, manage services, counters, and staff |
| School Admins | Configure the full system, manage users/roles, access all reports, control emergency mode |
| Display Operators | Manage display screens and announcements |
| IT / Implementation | Set up kiosk devices, onboard new schools, configure integrations |
Where It Fits in School Operations
SchoolAide Queue sits between the physical waiting area and the service delivery counter. It connects:
- The registrar, finance office, student affairs, and any other service counters
- Physical kiosks, TV displays, and mobile/web browsers
- Email notifications via a configurable template system
- Microsoft Entra ID for staff SSO login
Related Modules and Integrations

Implementation Notes
- Multi-tenant: Each school is an isolated tenant with its own subdomain (e.g.,
ust.schoolaide-q.com). All data is tenant-scoped — no cross-school data access is possible. - Multi-campus: Each tenant can have multiple campuses. Each campus has its own offices, services, counters, and schedules.
- Subscription plans: Free, Starter, Professional, Enterprise — with limits on offices, counters, services, staff accounts, and daily tickets. Plan limits are enforced at creation time.
- Timezone-aware: All schedule and time calculations use the campus timezone (
campuses.timezone, defaultAsia/Manila).
