  1. Navigate to the General Settings page.

    1. Display Options

      1. Expiration threshold is a business setting that defines how long guests should remain visible on the waitlist before being cleared. By default this is set to 1 day. That means when a guests joins the wait, they will remain visible on the waitlist and/or history tabs for 24 hours. After that period of time, they will expire and no longer be visible. The context of their visit will still be available in analytics and exports. Note that depending on your Guest Data Policy (explained below), some guest data may be anonymized or deleted once the expiration threshold is reached for a guest.

      2. Booking Display Threshold is how far in advance bookings should appear in the waitlist. By default, this is 1 day prior to the scheduled booking time.

    2. Add Guest Form

      1. Repeat Guest Recognition: select which guest fields should auto-fill on the add guest form - when a guest's phone number is recognized from a prior visit, selected fields will auto-fill what was entered on their last visit

    3. Position In Line

      1. decide how you want the guest's Position In Line to be calculated.

        • All Queues: Choose if guests should see their position relative to others across all queues

        • Each Queue: Choose if guests should see their position relative to others in their own queue only

    4. Policy

      1. Guest Data Policy is a business setting that defines how much guest data should be stored once a guest has left the waitlist. By default this is set to Retain, which means all guest data will be stored as long as your business remains active on NextMe. However, we offer additional options to anonymize or delete your guest data in order to stay compliant with your internal or external privacy requirements. Compare our three policies to determine what makes the most sense for your business.

  2. Click the Save button in the bottom right to save your changes.
