Adjust agents' preferences

Adjust the agents’ schedule preferences if they would cause issues when scheduling. Common issues are that agents have added too many days off or that they have not considered the nightly or weekly rest in their preferences.

Use the Restrictions view to identify if agents have added preferences that conflict with any work rules or other restrictions. See Review conflicting restrictions for more information.

You can also add agents’ preferences for them if they for some reason cannot add them themselves before the period for entering preference closes.

Use the Restrictions tab in the agent Info view to review the restrictions that apply to each day. See Review agent details for more information.
