Interface Guide

The waiting room management screen provides a common interface that applies to all four waiting room types (Waiting Room, Block Room, Pre-waiting Room, Post-waiting Room). This guide explains the common features and how to use the waiting room management screen.

Key Concepts

Before using the waiting room management interface, it's helpful to understand the following key concepts:

Waiting Room Design Object

A Waiting Room Design Object is a template that defines how the waiting room UI appears to users. Each waiting room in the list represents one design object that can be:

  • Created: Build a new design from scratch or from a template
  • Edited: Modify the design, settings, and appearance
  • Duplicated: Copy to create a new design object
  • Deleted: Remove when no longer needed (except Sample waiting rooms)

Segment Connection

Segment Connection displays which segments are currently using a waiting room. This is a many-to-many (n:m) relationship:

  • One waiting room can be connected to multiple segments
  • One segment can select one waiting room (for Waiting status) and one block room (for Block status)

Important: Connection management is done in segment settings (Waiting Room Application), not in the waiting room management screen. The waiting room list only displays connection information (read-only).

Sample Waiting Rooms

Sample Waiting Rooms are default system waiting rooms (one for each of the 4 types) automatically created when a project is created. They cannot be deleted but can have their names modified.

Entry Status and Waiting Room Types

Understanding how entry status determines which waiting room type is displayed:

  • Waiting Status → Shows one of these waiting room types:

    • Waiting Room
    • Pre-waiting Room (if pre-waiting reservation is configured)
    • Post-waiting Room (if post-waiting reservation is configured)
  • Block Status → Shows Block Room

The segment's Entry Status Setting determines when to show waiting/block rooms, while Waiting Room Application in segment settings determines which specific waiting room design to use.
