The queue in six rules.

Six sentences the desk can repeat. Every detailed rule in the spec fits under one of them; a new decision changes one of these first.

Where a lead can be
Arrives→Now→Waiting on them→Later→Quiet→Completed

Prototype: admin-preview → Presale. The rules: Amiro.Next/features/crm-work-model/rules.md (CRM-D-130…138, 25 Oct). Code: core/leads/presale-queue, presale/presale-mode, core/leads/ladder, core/leads/lead-intake.

Read aloud by your browser’s own voice, offline. Best in Chrome or Safari on a Mac (Daniel, Samantha). Each rule has its own button below.

Rule 1 of 6

A lead is on one tab at a time.

Now, Later, Quiet, or Completed. Its tasks may fall on two days of Later; the one due first decides the tab.

Rule 2 of 6

A lead is in Now for one of four reasons, in this order.

They wrote. A visit needs an answer. A planned time has come. It is our turn to call. Inside each, the latest first.

Rule 3 of 6

Any attempt we make takes our turn.

A call, picked up or not, or a message: the lead leaves Now and comes back by the plan, or by the ladder.

Their word resets it.Picked up or not, an attempt moves the lead out of Now. The queue never asks for the same call twice.

Rule 4 of 6

A booked lead can still carry a plan. A new ask is always new.

A visit ahead parks the lead until the visit, but a plan on it shows when due. A repeat form lands on the person, never on a second person.

A visit moved in the diary moves on the lead too.

Rule 5 of 6

Done means the desk decided something.

A call saved, a plan, a close, a reopen, Came or Did not come, a stage moved by hand. Anything else says where the lead went, without Done.

No Done. Nothing moves until the desk moves.Quiet is a decision owed, never a decision the system takes: no lead is closed without a person's reason.

Rule 6 of 6

One word per idea.

Reply. Waiting on them. Planned. Quiet. And four places: Now, Later, Quiet, Completed.
