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.

Instructions

You will need your Qless AU token or Qless credentials to create your block:

  • AU token (required) - this is the unique identifier for a specific Qless authorized user.

  • Qless Credentials (required if the AU token is unknown) -  With Qless credentials the user can retrieve the AU token for use with the block.

If you do not have Qless credentials contact your college Qless administrator for access.
