Review the public-service appointment journey
Capture a post-appointment signal about arrival, navigation and next-step clarity in public-service offices.
Read the guideGovernment customer feedback
A small signal after a public service.
ThumbsUp can be evaluated as a voluntary service-experience pulse after an in-person interaction at a public service desk or office. It gives teams a way to review a point-in-time signal while formal complaints, case systems, and public-service duties stay separate.
For public-sector CX leads, agency service-center managers, quality teams, and procurement owners
Treat accessibility, language, privacy, public-record, procurement, and alternative-channel requirements as part of the service design.

Ask the question that matters to your team
Authorized managers can create or change the short question shown on assigned feedback devices. After Question Mode is enabled on those devices, customers answer the active question with a supported hand gesture—for example, “How good was the cleaning service?”—so each location can collect a signal about the service moment it wants to improve.

Read the guideWhy citizen feedback needs a clear purpose
A service rating is a small signal, not a case file.
A citizen may need to file a complaint, appeal a decision, or ask for an accommodation. A brief service-experience pulse can sit beside those channels only when the office explains its purpose and keeps the process accessible.
The service and the case are different
A voluntary rating can describe a visit’s experience. It should not replace a complaint, appeal, benefits decision, or case-management process.
Access must be intentional
Language, disability access, age, digital comfort, and the ability to pause at a counter all affect who can use the prompt.
Offices have visible patterns
Queue length, signage, staffing, and time of day may shape a service signal. The office team decides what to investigate.
A public-service pilot sequence
Define the service moment before asking for a rating.
A good government pilot is clear about purpose, voluntary participation, accessible alternatives, and the people who can act on the signal.
- 01
Name the service moment
Choose a counter, appointment, queue, or office-exit moment with an owner and a clear question.
- 02
Place it at the counter exit
Keep the device visible and outside private case conversations, identity documents, and screens.
- 03
Offer an optional gesture
Explain the voluntary service pulse and provide an alternative channel for people who cannot or do not want to use it.
- 04
Review office and time patterns
Authorized managers can compare configured devices and time periods, then check queue and signage observations.
Deployment note: Do not present a service rating as a complaint, case decision, public-record response, or accessibility substitute. The office must set its own public-sector review, language, records, and procurement requirements.
Placement planning
Put the prompt after the counter service.
A citizen should be finished with the service and able to pause without exposing an ID document, case screen, or private conversation.
Candidate points to test
- 1Service-desk exit
- 2End of a public queue
- 3Public lobby exit after the interaction
Checks for the pilot
- Keep identity documents, case screens, and conversations out of view.
- Offer language, accessibility, and non-camera alternatives that the office approves.
- Test queue flow, counter height, lighting, reach, and the explanation shown to citizens.
From citizen signal to office question
Give the service-center manager a focused follow-up.
The dashboard can organize configured device, office, and time context. The office supplies the queue, signage, staffing, and service records needed to understand a pattern.
Office and time patterns
Compare defined periods or service points to see where an operational question may recur.
Counter context
Use device and location labels to distinguish offices, desks, or public service routes.
Queue and signage checks
Review queue length, instructions, staffing, and service observations before deciding what changed.
Illustrative office check
If one office’s afternoon scores fall, the manager reviews queue and signage observations. The signal should not be used to infer a citizen’s identity, case number, benefits decision, or staff-discipline outcome.
The dashboard image is product interface imagery. It illustrates configured feedback review and is not a result from this industry.
Choose the method for the service question
A voluntary pulse can sit beside formal citizen channels.
A complaint form, case system, mandated survey, or phone service may be required for a different purpose. A public-service prompt should make its limited role clear.
| Consideration | ThumbsUp | QR or phone survey | Shared kiosk |
|---|---|---|---|
| Customer action | Give a brief gesture at an approved counter or office exit. | Scan, call, or complete a formal citizen survey or complaint form. | Use a shared device only where the office has approved the access and records flow. |
| Setup question | Validate camera view, distance, light, free hand, and a deliberate pause at the service point. | Requires a customer to find a code, use a phone, and complete the chosen form. | Requires a customer to reach and use a shared screen at the right moment. |
| Manager view | Review the configured device, location, time, and employee-related context. | Review the fields and reporting supplied by the survey workflow. | Review the fields and reporting supplied by the kiosk workflow. |
Evidence that helps teams evaluate a pilot
Evidence for an accessible service point
An approved service-center photo or clearly identified diagram can help a public-service team evaluate the counter exit, alternative channel, and pause space. A captioned demonstration should explain the service pulse without showing identity documents or real case data.

02Accessible pause
03Formal channels
Public-sector boundary
Keep a rating separate from a complaint process.
A voluntary point-in-time signal does not replace formal complaints, appeals, case handling, language access, public-record duties, or procurement review. Do not add a government certification or accessibility-conformance claim without written evidence.

Questions to resolve before a public-service pilot
Bring the office’s public-service obligations into the placement and buying conversation.
- Public records, retention, and procurement requirements
- Accessibility, language, and non-camera alternatives
- Privacy around identity documents and case conversations
- Staff influence, citizen consent, and sample fairness
- Data residency or certification requirements that need separate verification
Questions operators ask
Government service centers feedback, answered clearly.
The right setup depends on the service moment, site, hardware, and operating process.
How can government offices collect citizen feedback without a phone?
An office can test a compatible camera-equipped Android tablet at an approved service-desk or office exit. A citizen gives a voluntary gesture after service, and the office reviews the configured location and time context alongside its formal channels.
What is a public-service feedback kiosk alternative?
A touchless gesture prompt is one possible alternative to a shared touchscreen or phone form at a suitable pause point. The office must approve the placement, accessibility, explanation, records treatment, and alternative channels.
How should a rating complement a complaint process?
A service-experience pulse is a separate signal that can sit alongside a formal complaint, appeal, case-management workflow, public-record response, or benefits decision.
Can an office compare feedback by location and time?
Authorized managers can compare configured devices, offices, and time periods. The result is a point-in-time signal for operational review and does not identify a citizen or prove a cause.
