Plan meetings in the client

Plan one-time or recurring meetings for selected agents. It is beneficial to plan recurring meetings and meetings you know about in advance before you schedule that period. That way, the best shifts can be selected to fulfill the staffing need during the meeting.

When planning meetings when there is already a schedule, the meeting planner can help you find a good time for the meeting. This is based on who is planned to participate and the staffing level impact.

The subject, location and message that you enter for the meeting are presented to the participating agents in the schedule view in MyTime.

NOTE   Meetings that are created in the Meetings module in the client cannot be managed in the web Meetings tool, and meetings that are created in the web Meetings tool cannot be managed in the Meetings module in the client.
