Tickets

Tickets represent a visitor's single visit to a Location.

A ticket is created every time a visitor is added to queue by either service personnel or via iPad and Visit Planner Remote Sign-in.

All tickets belong to a Line.

Tickets are called when service clerks call the visitor, and are served when service clerks mark the visitor as served.

Tickets can contain additional free-form data as name / value pairs, that will be shown on the Qminder Service View as custom input fields.

Tickets can additionally have one or more Labels, which are useful for tagging visitors or sharing small notes between coworkers.
