queueingMethod

Sets the queueing method used by the waiting room. Changing this parameter from the default queueing method is only available for the Waiting Room Advanced subscription. Regardless of the queueing method, if queue_all is enabled or an event is prequeueing, users in the waiting room will not be accepted to the origin. These users will always see a waiting room page that refreshes automatically. The valid queueing methods are: 1. fifo (default): First-In-First-Out queue where customers gain access in the order they arrived. 2. random: Random queue where customers gain access randomly, regardless of arrival time. 3. passthrough: Users will pass directly through the waiting room and into the origin website. As a result, any configured limits will not be respected while this is enabled. This method can be used as an alternative to disabling a waiting room (with suspended) so that analytics are still reported. This can be used if you wish to allow all traffic normally, but want to restrict traffic during a waiting room event, or vice versa. 4. reject: Users will be immediately rejected from the waiting room. As a result, no users will reach the origin website while this is enabled. This can be used if you wish to reject all traffic while performing maintenance, block traffic during a specified period of time (an event), or block traffic while events are not occurring. Consider a waiting room used for vaccine distribution that only allows traffic during sign-up events, and otherwise blocks all traffic. For this case, the waiting room uses reject, and its events override this with fifo, random, or passthrough. When this queueing method is enabled and neither queueAll is enabled nor an event is prequeueing, the waiting room page will not refresh automatically. Available values: "fifo", "random", "passthrough", "reject".
