Learn all about your in-person service workspace.

The in-person workspace is the place where you record client service sessions for clients who come to your workplace, or whom you will serve via video appointments.

Click the topics below to navigate the subject more quickly:

Starting your service day

Start your service day on the go Workspace / In-person Workspace. Then choose the service unit, company, shift and counter to start, as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1: Starting the Work Day.

Viewing the service queue

See in Figure 2 the way you view the queue: differentiating scheduled services from those who took a service ticket on site:

Figure 2: The Service Queue.

Also note that the queue is viewed in ascending order, from the customer who has been waiting the longest onward, and that scheduling does not count toward that waiting time.

Reminder: the orange dot means the service has not yet been pulled by anyone. How about starting a service now?

Calling service from the queue

To call your service, follow the steps shown in Figure 3:

Figure 3: Calling Service in the Queue.

What did you do? First: you clicked on:

And called your service. Then the Allocate Servicescreen appeared. This is the moment when the system confirms whether you were the first to pull that service, or whether it was another attendant:

At that moment, you can still click to cancel your service request . But click fast! After it is allocated to you, you will only be able to:

  • Remember to call the service again (by calling the ticket on your workplace TV).

  • Start the service (the moment the client arrives at your counter).

  • Or cancel the service (if no client appears at your counter).

A curiosity: in the Figure 3, after you start the service, a screen appears asking you to share your computer screen with tatodesk. This means your service is being recorded.

Only after it has started will you see the screen loaded with the client's and service's information.

Another thing: if the service is scheduled and you do not have permission to pull services out of order from the queue, it will not be possible to pull the appointment before the scheduled time.

If you try, the system displays an error message:

In-person Workspace: Loaded Information

Figure 4: In-person Workspace Loaded with Information.

Notice above that, after pulling the service, the screen loads on the right with information related to the client in front of you at the counter. This serves to visually identify what the client wants.

Shall we get to know them one by one?

  1. Protocol: service protocol number, followed by its status. In Figure 4: started. But it could be transferred, for example.

  2. Type: type of service.

  3. Attendant: name of the attendant who pulled the service.

  4. Date: date the service was generated in the system. For example: the moment the client generated the ticket at the service kiosk.

  5. Last action: last action of the service. In the case of Figure 4 the moment it was pulled from the queue.

  6. Company: company you work for.

  7. Unit: your service unit, the physical location where you work.

  8. Service Types: service chosen by the client at the time the ticket was generated, with the option for you to edit that service. A very important action. See here the reason.

  9. Service Classification: classification chosen by the client at the time the ticket was generated, with the option for you to edit that service. A very important action. See here the reason.

  10. Contact Form: information provided by the client at the time the ticket was generated. In the case of Figure 4 only the email.

Editing Service Types

Imagine the client chose the bill dispute service, but during your service they became convinced the amount was correct and asked to set up an installment plan.

In that case, you can edit the service type, adding the installment service to the service. Just follow the flow of Figure 5:

Figure 5: Editing the Service Type.

This action is extremely important to justify to your manager the additional time spent resolving the service.

In the Figure 5 you notice that you need to select the service category before inserting the new service type. You also notice that it is possible to remove a service from the list. And that after the action, the service type is edited, appearing on the screen the way you edited it.

Editing Service Classification

Also imagine that the client generated a ticket with priority for Pregnant Women, but when they arrived at your counter, you saw that the reality did not match the expectation.

In that case, you can edit the service classification. Just follow the flow of Figure 6:

Figure 6: Editing Service Classification.

Note that, after being edited, the new classification is displayed on the screen, with the trace of the previous classification chosen by the client.

If it is management guidance, you can also transfer that client back to the queue with the new specified classification. Want to know how to transfer a service? Click here.

Now that we've talked about the information viewed in the in-person workspace, shall we describe its buttons?

In-person Workspace Buttons

Figure 7: In-person Workspace Buttons.

Looking at Figure 7 you can see six available buttons. Shall we get to know each of them?

Viewed only if you are transferred to a unit that is not yours. Clicking it signals to the responsible people that something is wrong in the unit where you are transferred.

Viewed for everyone. Clicking it signals to the responsible people that something is wrong in your home unit.

Attention: only use the emergency buttons in serious cases. Robberies, for example.

Finish a stage of the service, returning the client to the queue. Only visible in units that divide their services into stages. Triage and Outpatient, for example, in the case of hospitals.

Imagine you are doing an installment plan and the client needs to leave the counter to scan necessary documents. In that case, you pause the service. After doing so, a popup opens:

There, you select the reason for the pause and choose between releasing the service back to the queue or continuing the service. If you choose continue, you wait for the client's return while also serving the next one.

Cancel the service if the client does not show up at your counter or leaves and does not return during the service. Clicking it, a popup opens:

There, you select the reason for cancellation (or directly mark the no-show). Then write an internal note for your manager and confirm.

Conclude the service naturally, after attending to all the client's requests.

Attention: do not use this button to cancel staged services thinking they will move to the next stage. For that, use the finish stage.

button In addition to the buttons, on the In-person Workspace we see the gear icon on the left and right, as shown in:
