Preference per Agent report

Use this report to show how many agent preferences that are fulfilled or unfulfilled during a selected time period, summarized per agent. The report shows preferences for shift categories, days off, absences and extended preferences such as maximum work time or earliest start time. It also shows the number of must have preferences.

The agents enter their preferences for how and when they want to work. A preference is counted as fulfilled when the agent is scheduled according to the preference. If not, it is counted as unfulfilled. All preferences entered for one single day is counted as one preference.

EXAMPLE   An agent enters a preference for the Early shift category with a maximum work time of 8 hours and sets the preferred latest end time 3:00 PM. This counts as one preference, an extended preference. If one or more of the criteria is not fulfilled in the schedule, the preference is counted as unfulfilled.

The report answers questions like:

  • How many of the shifts fulfilled the agent’s preferences this month?
  • Which agents had the least of their preferences fulfilled for this schedule period?

Use the Not defined option in the team and agent selection to show logged data which is not connected to any agent and team.

NOTE   The dates of the preferences are shown according to the agent's time zone.
