Can someone explain the purpose of the Closed Record Producer field in the Walk-up Location Queue (Administration tab) in the Walk-up Experience module? I’d like to understand when and why this field is used.

Hi @MahendraBob 

Its main job is to automatically create a final record (like a resolved incident) when an agent closes a walk-up interaction that doesn't already have another ticket (like an incident or request) linked to it.

 

A Simple Scenario

 

  1. A user walks up to the desk with a very simple question (e.g., "What's the guest Wi-Fi password?").

  2. The agent helps them in 30 seconds. It's not a big issue, so the agent doesn't need to create a full-blown incident.

  3. The agent just clicks "Close" on the interaction.

  4. This is where that field kicks in: ServiceNow sees no incident was created. So, it automatically uses the record producer you specified in that field (e.g., a producer called "Close Walk-up Interaction") to create a ticket, copy over the basic details, and immediately close it.

 

Why is this used?

 

It's all about reporting and metrics.

Without this feature, all those "quick-fix" interactions would disappear after being closed. It would look like your walk-up agents did no work.

By auto-creating a closed record, you now have data to prove that your walk-up team handled, for example, 50 quick questions last week. It's crucial for showing your team's value and tracking the total work being done, not just the complex issues.
