Using the Master Schedule Agent-Extended View Grid

The Agent-Extended view includes a grid for the selected agent. Each row in the grid contains a color coded bar. Each bar represents a scheduled day or day off for the selected agent. The table below explains the fields and controls.

Double-click cells containing these items, to edit them: Shift, Activity Set, Time Off, Meal. Break, Exception, Marked Time.

Scheduled agents	This indicator shows the number of agent days displayed (based on the selected Mode).
Edited schedules	This indicator shows the number of daily schedules you have edited in this view, but not yet saved.
Full-Day View	Select the Full-Day View check box to have the grid display the entire day similar to the Intra-Day view. If you clear this check box, the grid shows a more detailed view as shown for the Scenario Agent-Extended view. Full-Day View also affects the Options dialog box.
Mode:	The starting Mode is set to the default of one week, but can be changed to Schedule Planning Period (if Schedule Planning Periods are in use at your site).
Date:	These controls are the standard date selectors. The grid displays data for the period containing the selected date.
! (Save Messages/Warnings)	This column contains icons that provide information about the agents' schedules. A light-gray pencil icon indicates that the agent's day was edited after scheduling or rescheduling. A yellow pencil icon indicates an item that generated a warning and you selected the Fix Later option. A green pencil icon indicates schedule items that you have changed but not yet saved. A red pencil icon indicates an item that generated an error. (Error conditions are more serious than warning conditions.) A Swap icon indicates that the agent's day was assigned by trading or swapping. A yield icon (upside down red triangle) appears if there are pending changes that have not yet been committed by a user with Approve Changes security permission. Double-click a yellow or red icon to review message details and resolve the unsaved items.
Team	This column on the grid indicates the selected agent's assigned team.

To make changes to the selected agent's schedule, right-click the timestep that you want to modify and then select the command from the shortcut menu. The figure below shows the menu when you right-click the dark blue area within a color-coded bar (unless you change the color).  The menu items vary depending on the area clicked.   See Modify Individual Agent's Schedules for instructions and explanations.
