Overview
The queue functionality within Request Management allows requests to be grouped together into specific queues based on spaces, categories and statuses.
These are a way to group management of requests for example, you could have a queue for Building A and a queue for Building B with different request managers/assignees, or you might have a cleaning queue with all cleaning categories in a building.
Queues are assigned to Request Managers and Request Assignees to manage these requests by a Property Manager.
If you do not need separate queues at your location, all requests will be managed through one default queue.
Creating a Queue
Queues can only be created by the Equiem Admin Team.
Please raise a support ticket to request a queue be created for your location with the following information:
The name of the queue
Which categories, statuses and spaces should be included in the queue
Which company should be the owner of the queue
Request Managers and Assignees do not need to be from the same company as the queue owner, however Property Managers do in order to add queue agents.
Adding Request Managers & Assignees to a Queue
In order to manage requests within a queue, Request Managers and Assignees will need to be added to the relevant queue.
Assigning the Request Manager or Assignee role within a user’s profile will not automatically add them to a queue
Users will need to be registered to your platform before they can be added as a Request Manager or Assignee.
To add Request Managers & Assignees:
Open Request Management and click Settings from the top left hand corner.
Navigate to the Queues tab
Here you will see a list of all available queues at your location.
Select the relevant queue. You will see a list of existing queue agents.
Click Edit
Search for Request Manager(s) or Request Assignee(s) to add to your queue using the search bar. Click Add next to the user’s name to add them to the queue.
Press Save to confirm your changes.

Adding Categories to a Queue
