Walk-up Experience overview
With Walk-up Experience, you can help to increase the productivity of the agents that serve the requesters. Your requesters can also get real-time, either in-person or remote help with their issues and devices.
The main purpose of a walk-up service center is to support and resolve the information technology (IT)-related issues that a service desk comes across. For example, an agent can get a request for a mouse device or keyboard, unlocking an account, or setting up software on a mobile device. Some common names that you might use for your own walk-up center are Tech Lounge, Service Center, or Genius Bar.
Walk-up Experience workflow
