Swap shifts between agents

Swap shifts between agents on one or more days.

There are three types of swaps.

  • Swap—A plain swap of the schedule between two agents on one or more days. With the Swap option, a shift never moves to another day. It will stay on the same day but move to another agent.
  • Swap and reschedule—Use Swap and reschedule when two agents want to swap days off, as this option schedules new work shifts for the agents where they previously had a day off. The shifts selected are the most suitable shifts based on the business needs.
  • Swap raw—Swaps two selections of the same size, with any number of agents and shifts. The two selections are swapped with each other without any consideration of business needs or work rules.

NOTE   Shifts and overtime activities are swapped. Absences, personal activities and meetings are not swapped.
