Manage agents in a management unit

PrerequisitesClick to expand

You can add up to 1500 agents to a management unit. Adherence information is available in the schedule editor only if all the agents in the selected work team are in the same management unit, or if you select just one management unit. For more information, see View adherence information in the schedule editor.

Notes:

When you move an agent from one management unit to another within the same business unit, the agent will still be visible within the same business unit schedule. After the agent moves to another management unit, any new adherence information exists under the new management unit. Historical adherence data will be visible in the new management unit historical adherence view. After the agent moves to another management unit, any new schedule and adherence information exists under the new management unit.
When you move an agent from one management unit to another management unit in a different business unit, the schedule and adherence information remains with the original management unit and business unit. However, historical adherence is no longer visible in the original management unit. This process allows the supervisor to view the agent in the same spot on the schedule before they moved business and management units, for historical purposes. After the agent moves to another management unit, any new schedule and adherence information exist under the new management unit.
When you move an agent from one management unit to another management unit, the schedulable value will be the value that was updated last.
Time-off requests move with the agent to the new management unit. Time-off requests are specific to agents, not management units, and should follow the agent with the move.

Note: When you add agents by queue, Genesys Cloud only considers current queue association. Future updates to queue membership do not affect the management unit. If you add or remove an agent from a queue, the system does not add or remove them from the management unit.
