Agent Scheduling Enhancements

Agent Scheduling now allows you to accept or decline time off requests initiated by an agent.

  • Agents can set themselves as unavailable by using the Agent Scheduler application on their U-CRM desktop.

  • This action triggers a notification to the manager of the agent in their Work Queue.

  • The Manager can Accept or Reject the request.
  • The master calendar in Agent Scheduling reflects the updated schedule based on the action of the manager user.
  • Adherence Dashboard

    Agent Schedule Adherence dashboard is a metric used to analyze whether agents are working for the amount of time that they are scheduled to work. Schedule adherence is measured by taking the total time a call center agent is available and dividing it by the time they are scheduled to work, expressed as a percentage. This ensures that contact center agents are working efficiently within their set schedules.
