Team schedule view

AI-generated summary

Genesys Cloud provides comprehensive team schedule management through the Schedule tab in the Activity menu, enabling agents and supervisors to view and manage colleague schedules within their management unit. Access requires specific permissions (Workforce Management Agent Schedule View and Agent Management Unit Schedule View) and compatible licensing including CX 3, CX 4, CX 3 Digital, CX 1 WEM Add-on II, CX 2 WEM Add-on I, or CX EX plans, with administrator control at the management unit level. The interface supports Day and Week view modes with customizable sorting by agent names and shift times, agent name search functionality, and status filtering options (All schedules, Only scheduled, Only unscheduled, Only time off). Users can maintain up to 10 favorite coworkers for quick reference, utilize a date picker with arrow controls and Today button, and bookmark schedules through unique URLs that preserve date, filter, and sort settings. Agent profile cards enable direct communication via chat, calls, emails, and video calls. Day view displays detailed activity information including On Queue, Work, Break, and Meeting categories when hovering over shifts, while Week view shows daily shift details as bars with start and end times. Privacy controls restrict visibility to category-level schedule information for other agents (such as Meeting, Break, Meal, Time Off) without detailed activity descriptions, while logged-in users receive full activity codes and descriptions. Schedule information remains read-only and restricted to management unit members, with inactive users marked accordingly and deleted users removed from Workforce Management. For management units exceeding 25 agents, schedules are paginated at 25 agents per page, with filters and searches applying across all pages. The platform supports workforce management functions including time-off requests, shift trades, mobile app access, and calendar linking. Real-time updates occur automatically, though extended periods without manual refresh may display warning icons and refresh prompts. Failed data loads display placeholder text, warning icons, or skeleton loading views with toast notifications offering retry options, and error handling provides specific error messages for failed refreshes. Schedule visibility is scoped to agents within the user's own management unit only, with search functionality limited to agent names and a maximum of 10 pinnable favorites that may disappear if agents change units or leave the organization. The documentation includes a feedback mechanism allowing users to rate article helpfulness and report issues such as inaccurate content, outdated information, or unclear presentation.

As an agent, the Team Schedule view allows you to view the schedules of your colleagues in the same management unit as yourself. The Team Schedule view enables you to:

Check who is covering after your shift ends.
See if a teammate is available for a shift swap before submitting a trade request.
Identify when colleagues are on vacation to plan coverage.
Pin close coworkers so their schedules are always easy to find.

Team Schedule view includes agents that belong to the same management unit.

As an administrator, you control agents’ access to this feature to decide whether they can view schedules across their management unit. Shared schedules are always read-only and are limited to show only category-level information. For example, instead of Meeting – All Staff Meeting, agents can see the category – Meeting.
