Scheduling

Role title \[name\]DescriptionContains roles
Shift Planning User \[sn\_shift\_planning.user\]Grants read access for scheduling including the ability to view schedules and shifts.
Shift Planning Agent \[sn\_shift\_planning.agent\]Grants agents access to their calendar and request shift swap or time-off.sn\_shift\_planning.user
Shift Planning Admin \[sn\_shift\_planning.admin\]Grants administrative access to create, read, update, and delete \(CRUD\) schedules and work shifts.- sn\_shift\_planning.approver - sn\_shift\_planning.user - sn\_shift\_planning.agent
TableDescription
sn_shift_planning_time_worked_summaryStores the time worked summary of an agent.
sn_shift_planning_agent_time_workStores the agent's time worked, such as clock-in and clock-out times. If an agent logs in early or logs out late, then the shift start and shift end times are stored in place of the clock-in and clock-out times.
sn_shift_planning_agent_time_attendanceStores the clock-in and clock-out times of agents. Data is retrieved when an agent logs in, logs out, or changes the Presence state.
PropertyDescription
sn\_shift\_planning.number\_of\_days\_to\_cacheNumber of days to cache agent schedules.- Type: Integer - Default value: 5
sn\_shift\_planning.enable\_schedule\_adherenceCalculates and displays schedule adherence information for your agents.- Type: Boolean - Default value: True
sn\_shift\_planning.early\_clockin\_thresholdThreshold settings indicate how many minutes early or late an agent can clock-in or clock-out from the scheduled time without being considered non-adherent. This is the acceptable duration of time flexibility for an agent to start work before the scheduled start time. - Type: Integer - Default value: 60 min
sn\_shift\_planning.adherence\_thresholdSets the percentage for a threshold in adherence. The agents who do not qualify as above the defined threshold value (70%) are considered non-adherent agents. - Type: Integer - Default value: 70%
sn\_shift\_planning.conformance\_lower\_thresholdSet the lower threshold percentage for flexibility in conformance. The agents who do not qualify for the defined lower and upper conformance threshold values (80-120) are considered non-conformant agents. - Type: Integer - Default value: 80%
sn\_shift\_planning.conformance\_upper\_thresholdSets the upper threshold percentage for flexibility in conformance. The agents who do not qualify for the defined lower and upper conformance threshold values (80-120) are considered non-conformant agents.- Type: Integer - Default value: 120%
sn\_shift\_planning.auto\_clockout\_thresholdThreshold time for the system to wait and generate automatic clock-out events when agents forget to clock-out. For example, if the threshold is set to 60 minutes and an agent's planned work shift is 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. but the agent fails to clock out at 5 p.m., the system waits for 60 minutes and then generates an automatic clock-out event. - Type: Integer - Default value: 60 min
sn\_fsm\_disp\_wrkspc.agent\_shift\_schdlng\_event\_color

Enables the default colors configured for each event type to display the same event spans with same color in Dispatcher Workspace.Note: You must select a dynamic value to display the selected color of workforce optimization events in Dispatcher Workspace.

  • Type: String
  • Default value: static
Script IncludeDescription
Notify User Clock InCounts the clock-in events whenever there is a change in agent's Presence state.
Notify User Clock OutCounts the clock-out events whenever there is a change in agent's Presence state.
NameDescription
Shift Planning - Delete All Agent Schedules CacheDeletes cache from the sn\_shift\_planning\_agent\_availability table.- Runs automatically everyday at 2:30 a.m. - Run this job on demand when you import data.
Clock-out event generation \(For scenarios where the clock-out event does not get triggered\)

Generates clock-out events every 4 hours if agents haven't clocked out. Note:

For example, say an agent's work shift times are from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and the sn_shift_planning.auto_clockout_threshold property value is set to 60 minutes. If the agent clocks in and fails to clock out, the scheduled job waits till 6 p.m. (5 p.m.+60 minutes) and if there is no clock out till 6 p.m., the system generates a clock-out event with the agent's shift end time.

Populate Agent Time Worked SummaryRuns daily to calculate the time worked, adherence, and conformance based on an agent's planned and actual work shift times for the previous day. The values are stored in the \[sn\_shift\_planning\_time\_worked\_summary\] table.
Update Wrapper End Time for Actual Work EventsRuns daily to make sure the actual work wrapper end-time is equal to last clock-out time.
\[Schedule Adherence\] Daily Data CollectionRuns the job daily and collects data for all teams indicators.
\[Schedule Adherence\] Historic Data CollectionRuns the job and collects historic data for all teams indicators.
\[Schedule Adherence\] Weekly Data CollectionRuns the job weekly and collects data for all indicators in Manager Workspace.
