Using the Table
The Weekly view table contains rows for each agent that you selected in the Objects tree. (If a scroll bar is displayed to the right, you can use it to reveal more agents.) This table includes the following columns:
[Expand/Collapse] | If in Planning Period mode, the first column provides expand/collapse controls that you use to display or hide agent details. |
Team | This column lists each agent's team. |
Agent | Two columns show an icon representing each agent's contract and the agent's name. |
[Week Start Dates] | If you display agent details and you are in Planning Period mode, the rows below each agent's name indicate the start date for each week in the schedule. |
[Weekdays] | These cells show agent schedule information for each weekday, for each week in the schedule. The cells' contents correspond to your selection from the Show Data for drop-down list.
If an agent is not scheduled for a shift on this day, the cell will contain: Day Off, <name of the full-day time-off type>, Working Hours (for scheduled working hours without a shift), or an exception name (for scheduled full-day exceptions). An icon in the cell for a weekday indicates whether the schedule has been changed for that agent.
Tip If there have been multiple changes, the icon represents the most recent status. |
Weekly Totals | Shows an agent's total working hours for the displayed week. |
Planning Period Totals | Shows an agent's total paid hours for the schedule planning period.
Important To set this period's duration and start date, see the Configuration > Polices > Contracts > Site Settings tab. |
The Weekly Totals and Period Totals boxes below the table show a grand total of all weekly or planning period total paid hours (respectively) for all selected agents.
