Genesys Cloud's Shift Trades panel provides agents with comprehensive tools to view, create, and manage shift trades within their work schedules. Agents must possess specific Workforce Management permissions to participate in shift trading activities and submit alternative shift requests. The panel organizes trades across four primary views: My Trades displays unmatched or pending trades; Offered shows shift trade offers received from other agents; Pending contains trades awaiting system or supervisor approval; and Completed lists finalized trades. Agents access this functionality through Menu > My Activity > Schedule or via the agent dashboard analytics workspace by selecting the Shift Trades option in Week view.
Core shift trading capabilities include creating new trades by selecting a shift, specifying trade preferences (open to anyone or restricted to particular users), defining acceptable shift dates and times, and setting expiration dates. The system identifies and displays matching trades from both direct offers and alternative shifts. Additional features enable agents to browse available shifts, drop shifts for others to pick up, and add shifts to their schedules. A Settings feature allows agents to control whether they receive trade offers from other agents. The My Trades view displays trades from the preceding 30 days with visual identification of trading partners.
The platform displays available shift details before users make selections to facilitate informed decision-making. Users should note that the Shift Trades view requires manual refresh to display current schedule data, as automatic updates are not implemented. Genesys Cloud includes a feedback mechanism enabling users to report content issues such as inaccurate or incomplete information, outdated details, or navigation difficulties, as well as to provide positive feedback regarding task completion, clarity, and content organization. Users can specify their role during feedback submission, selecting from Agent, Administrator, Developer/Engineer, Partner, Supervisor, or Support categories. Related documentation covers workforce management for agents, schedule views, performance views, shift browsing and selection, shift trade requests, alternative shift creation, and shift dropping functionality. All feedback submissions are subject to the Genesys Cloud privacy policy.
