    About this task

    • The Walk-up Experience application requires that a badge reader device is mapped to a walk-up location for feature integration.
    • Walk-up Experience managers can configure badge reader integration to a walk-up location using the Location Queues Badge Readers related list on the Walk-up Location Queue (wu_location_queue) table.
    • At least one badge reader must be activated and available to integrate with the walk-up location. Refer to Request activation approval for a badge reader device if no badge readers are activated for use.
    • You can define a check-in reason for each badge reader. When the requester checks in a location using that badge reader, the associated check-in reason is auto populated for the check-in. If no check-in reason is associated with the badge reader, then the location reason is considered for the check-in.
