How do I choose who can access the queue?

Under Allow these users access to this queue, do one of the following:

  • Everyone: Check Share with all users.

  • Only certain people: Check each user’s name under Available Users. To find someone quickly, type their name in Filter by First or Last Name.

Important: Only users with access to a queue can see the texts, forms, and faxes sent to it.

How do I link the queue to a location?

Under Associate this queue with locations, check each location the queue belongs to, such as Default Location.

Why can’t someone see items in a queue?

They probably aren’t added to that queue. To fix it:

  1. Go to Inbox > Admin (top right) > Queues.

  2. Select the queue.

  3. Check the user’s name under Available Users.

  4. Select Save.

Tip: If your practice has a queue for each location, make sure the user is added to every location queue they need.
