About this task
You can set the break period within a work shift by ensuring that all of your agents can cover the entire shift span. For example, you set the earliest start time as 11:00, the latest end time as 15:00, and the duration of the break as one hour. If you add four agents to the work shift, the Scheduling application automatically staggers the break duration for each agent. Stagger breaks to ensure that four of your agents can cover the entire shift span.
