Configure Wait Times

If your county has a VR Tower website with the Early Voting Locations & Status module, using the Configure Wait Times feature in Web Monitor, you can specify how specific EViD reported wait time ranges (entered in Clerk Utilities > Set Wait Times at each voting location) should appear for early voting location listed on the VR Tower website.

Each EViD reported wait time can be associated with a specific Web Wait Time value, which determines the color that appears in the Status field on the VR Tower website for early voting locations reporting that wait time.  

The text that appears for each color can then be set using the Custom Status Texts field.

Note: Status Text can also be configured in VR Tower. Changes made through VR Tower automatically appear in Web Monitor. Likewise, change made here, in Web Monitor, are automatically reflected in VR Tower. See the Web Focus Help topic Early Voting Locations and Status for more information.

For example, you can specify that all early voting locations reporting a wait time of "Less than 4 hours" and "Greater than 4 hours" show a Status of red with the text "4 Hours of More" in VR Tower.
