The Qless Info Block provides a way to place the current status and wait times for your college’s kiosks in a table format on a page. The information is dynamically fed to the block with each page load or refresh.
See an example Qless Info Block (login: Maricopa / Maricopa)
To enable the Qless Info Block module on your college website, contact the ITS Web Team via Slack or ITS.Drupal.Team@domail.maricopa.edu.
