Phase 4: Queue Display Consolidation - COMPLETED ✅

Date Completed: 2025-01-08 (Evening - 7:24 PM)
Status: 100% Complete - Production Ready

What Was Accomplished

Queue Template Consolidation ✅

Problem Identified:

  • Two duplicate queue display templates existed:
    • queue_display.html - Integrated with base.html, grid layout
    • queue_monitor.html - Standalone HTML, list layout, WebSocket support

Solution Implemented:

  • Created enhanced queue_monitor.html combining best features from both
  • Removed duplicate queue_display.html template
  • Backed up old queue_monitor.html as queue_monitor_old.html

Enhanced Queue Monitor Features

Combined Best Features

From queue_display.html:

  • ✅ Priority indicators (emergency/urgent badges)
  • ✅ Enhanced statistics (4 metrics)
  • ✅ Better visual design with gradients
  • ✅ Grid-based waiting list option
  • ✅ Improved empty states

From queue_monitor.html:

  • ✅ Standalone HTML (perfect for TV displays)
  • ✅ WebSocket support for real-time updates
  • ✅ Patient names displayed
  • ✅ List layout for waiting patients
  • ✅ Connection status indicator

New Enhancements Added

Visual Improvements:

  • ✅ Modern gradient background
  • ✅ Pulse animation for current patient number
  • ✅ Priority-based color coding (emergency = red, urgent = orange)
  • ✅ Hover effects on waiting list items
  • ✅ Custom scrollbar styling
  • ✅ Responsive design for all screen sizes

Functional Improvements:

  • ✅ Live connection status indicator (green = connected, red = offline)
  • ✅ Auto-reconnect for WebSocket (up to 5 attempts)
  • ✅ Fallback auto-refresh every 30 seconds
  • ✅ Real-time clock display
  • ✅ Wait time display for each patient
  • ✅ Department information in header
  • ✅ Empty state messaging

Technical Improvements:

  • ✅ Better error handling for WebSocket
  • ✅ Connection status monitoring
  • ✅ Graceful degradation if WebSocket fails
  • ✅ Local storage for notification tracking
  • ✅ Console logging for debugging

Template Comparison

Before Consolidation

  • queue_display.html: ~300 lines, grid layout, no WebSocket
  • queue_monitor.html: ~250 lines, list layout, basic WebSocket
  • Total: 2 templates, ~550 lines, duplicate functionality

After Consolidation

  • queue_monitor.html: ~450 lines, enhanced features
  • Total: 1 template, ~450 lines, all features combined
  • Reduction: 1 template removed, cleaner codebase

Key Features of Enhanced Template

Display Features

  1. Header Section

    • Queue name and type
    • Department information
    • Real-time clock (top-right corner)
    • Connection status (bottom-right corner)

  2. Current Patient Display

    • Large patient number (8rem font, pulsing animation)
    • Patient full name
    • Priority badges (emergency/urgent)
    • User icon
    • "Now Serving" label

  3. Waiting List

    • Next patients in queue
    • Position numbers (formatted as 001, 002, etc.)
    • Patient names
    • Wait time for each patient
    • Priority indicators (color-coded borders)
    • Hover effects
    • Scrollable list

  4. Statistics Bar

    • Total waiting
    • Average wait time (minutes)
    • Served today
    • Clean, modern design

Technical Features

  1. WebSocket Integration

    • Real-time updates on queue changes
    • Auto-reconnect on disconnect
    • Connection status monitoring
    • Graceful fallback to polling

  2. Auto-Refresh

    • 30-second fallback refresh
    • Disabled when WebSocket is active
    • Prevents unnecessary reloads

  3. Responsive Design

    • Desktop: Full layout with large fonts
    • Tablet: Medium fonts, adjusted spacing
    • Mobile: Smaller fonts, stacked layout
    • All breakpoints tested

  4. Accessibility

    • High contrast colors
    • Large, readable fonts
    • Clear visual hierarchy
    • Icon + text labels

Use Cases

Primary Use Case: Waiting Room TV Display

  • Large screen display in hospital waiting rooms
  • Shows current patient being served
  • Displays next patients in queue
  • Real-time updates via WebSocket
  • No user interaction required

Secondary Use Case: Staff Monitoring

  • Staff can view queue status
  • Monitor wait times
  • Track queue progress
  • Identify priority patients

Technical Use Case: Public API Display

  • Can be embedded in kiosks
  • Standalone HTML (no base template dependency)
  • Works with or without WebSocket
  • Graceful degradation

  • Tablet display (768x1024)
  • Mobile display (375x667)
  • Large TV display (3840x2160)

Functional Testing

  • WebSocket connection
  • WebSocket reconnection
  • Fallback auto-refresh
  • Clock updates
  • Priority indicators
  • Empty state display
  • Connection status indicator

  • Safari
  • Mobile browsers

Migration Notes

For Existing Deployments

If using queue_display.html:

  1. Update URL to point to queue_monitor view
  2. No code changes needed (same view function)
  3. Enhanced features automatically available

If using queue_monitor.html:

  1. No changes needed
  2. Enhanced features automatically available
  3. Old template backed up as queue_monitor_old.html

URL Patterns

  • No URL changes required
  • Both views use same endpoint: /queue/<pk>/monitor/
  • View function: queue_monitor_view(request, pk)

Before

  • Two separate templates to maintain
  • Duplicate code and styles
  • Inconsistent features
  • No connection monitoring

After

  • Single template to maintain
  • Unified codebase
  • All features in one place
  • Connection status monitoring
  • Better error handling
  • Improved WebSocket reliability

Future Enhancements (Optional)

Potential Additions

  • Audio notifications when patient is called
  • Multi-language support
  • Customizable color schemes
  • Queue-specific branding
  • Patient photo display (if available)
  • Estimated wait time per patient
  • QR code for mobile queue status
