Front desk workspace

Role aware

Use this receptionist and scheduler workspace to triage calls, see limited screen-pop fields, follow FERPA do-not-confirm prompts, watch shared appointments, check lobby status, and route staff messages.

Staff
Current limits
The front desk workspace uses local deterministic fixtures only. It does not place live calls, transfer calls, send SMS or email confirmations, notify hosts externally, print visitor badges, create real leads, book production appointments, or expose grades, balances, aid, health, restricted notes, or detailed program status.

Support request boundary

Use Sev2 if front desk can see grades, balances, aid, health, restricted notes, or detailed program status; if directory-withheld inquiries confirm attendance; or if production phone, SMS, email, badge, lead, or appointment actions are clickable. Use Sev3 for queue, appointment, visitor, message, routing, or script issues; use Sev4 for labels or layout feedback. This panel does not submit a support case.

Sev1: Critical outage or data-risk emergency

Target: 1-hour response, 24/7 paging during pilot

Sev2: Major workflow blocked

Target: 4 business hours

Sev3: Standard product question or non-urgent issue

Target: 1 business day

Sev4: How-to, cosmetic, or future enhancement

Target: 2 business days

These preview controls are placeholders. Real AI answers, search, walkthroughs, and support submission come in later tickets.
