Start session for player

Manually start a session that is in Wait (e.g. a pre-paid booking for a specific time). Find the session and trigger "Start" so the client can use the PC.

Step 1​

Open Hall (or Control Center / List). Switch to the correct date and time if needed.

Hall — date/time

Step 2​

Find the device that has a session in Wait (or "Scheduled"). The session is paid but not yet started.

Summary​

Start session = turn a Wait (scheduled) session into Active. Use when the client is at the PC and you want to start their pre-paid time. Flow: Hall → find Wait session → Start session → confirm.

Common situations​

| No Start button | Ensure the session is in Wait status and the start time has come (or your system allows early start). |

| Wrong device | Use "Transfer user" to move the session to the correct PC after starting, or cancel and rebook. |
