Nobody's being called / the line isn't moving

People are waiting, but nobody's being called. Nine times out of ten it's one of two things: nobody has pressed Call next, or the person at the desk can't serve this line. Here's how to get it moving.

Everyone Where: Queue 2 min read

Quick answer. turnda never calls people automatically — someone presses Call next on the Queue. Signing in at a station is optional (it just shows who's at each counter and tags your serves), so a stuck line usually just needs a person to call.

Quick checklist

Cause	How to tell	What to do
You can't serve this line	The Queue says "You can't serve this line yet." You're not assigned to it. Signing in at a station (Switch station) does not grant access on its own — if the station is at a location you're not assigned to, turnda refuses it and tells you to ask a manager.	Ask a manager to add you to the line's location on Team. Once you're assigned, taking a station is optional again — it just shows who's at each counter and tags your serves — see PIN sign-in.
Nobody is calling	turnda never calls people automatically. If the desk is busy or nobody's watching the screen, the line just sits still.	Whoever's serving needs to press Call next on the queue to bring the next person forward.
It only looks stuck	An appointment that isn't due yet holds its reserved time under Appointments first and isn't called early. Or everyone is on hold or marked a no-show. Or the line is closed or paused under its open hours — so no new people arrive, which is different from not being called.	Recall a held visitor, or clear no-shows, to bring live people forward. Check opening hours if new joins have simply stopped.

An unstaffed counter shows on the dashboard A counter with people waiting and nobody signed in shows as a needs-attention alert on the dashboard.

Serve button not working, or an error when calling? That's different from an idle line. Note exactly what it says, then contact support with the line's name.

You can't serve this line

How to tell. The Queue says "You can't serve this line yet." — you are not assigned to it.
Taking a station does not fix it. If the station is at a location you are not assigned to, turnda refuses it and tells you to ask a manager.
What to do. Ask a manager to add you to the line's location on Team.
Afterwards. Taking a station is optional again — it just shows who is at each counter and tags your serves. See PIN sign-in.

Nobody is calling

turnda never calls people by itself. If the desk is busy or nobody is watching the screen, the line simply sits still.
What to do. Whoever is serving presses Call next on the queue to bring the next person forward.
