Agent Assignments Schedule
Overview
This screen is dedicated to assigning specific schedules to Agents, whether it be on a temporary or permanent basis. It is important to remember that an Agent be logged in before the schedule change will become active. Often this feature is used to assign Agents to specific Queues during times when other people who are normally staffed to that Queue are unavailable.
-
Example 1: The main sales team takes a lunch every day from 12:00-1:00PM, an Agent (or multiple Agents) are assigned to this Queue to help with potential sales calls while the normally staffed Agents are out at lunch. This would be an example of a reoccurring semi-permanent schedule
- Example 2: On a particular day there is going to be a 2 hour meeting with the Installation team between 2:00-4:00PM, so a temporary schedule is assigned to a specified number of Agents to field these calls during this meeting. When the meeting is over, the schedule will be deleted.
