Before you begin

1. Start a new token

Choose the entry point for your workflow. From an appointment that has no token yet, use Generate Token in the Token section. The resulting panel is titled Generate Token. The standalone queue workflow uses Create Token and asks for the resource separately.

2. Select the resource

For a standalone token, choose the resource type and resource: practitioner, location or healthcare service. For an appointment token, the appointment already supplies that resource; verify it on Appointment Details before generating the token.

3. Select the category

Choose the configured Token Category. A default category may be preselected. Without a category, the Generate Token action remains disabled. Create an appropriate category with an authorized setup role if none is available.

5. Save the token

Select Generate Token for an appointment token, or Create Token in the standalone panel. Confirm the success message and generated token number. The appointment token card offers Queue Board and Print Token. In the captured synthetic run, GEN-001 appeared as Waiting on its queue board before being served.

Expected Outcome

A token number is linked to the intended patient, resource and queue. Verify its actual queue status. The illustrated appointment token appeared as Waiting and later Serving; a Created status is not assumed for every entry point.
