About this task
You can make a copy of a schedule and update it to create a new schedule. Updates could include modifying the schedule start and end dates as well as adding or removing shifts or agents.
When you make a copy of the schedule, the following updates are automatically made to the schedule copy:
- The start date is set to the current date and the end date to 30 days from the current date.
- The schedule state changes to Draft. You can make the necessary changes to the shift and click Save.
- The schedule only displays agents in the assignment group of the current logged in user.
You can also unpublish a schedule make updates, and then publish it again.
- If the start date is the either the current date or had occurred in the past, the schedule state remains as Published and the end date changes to tomorrow.
- If the start date is in the future, the scheduler changes the schedule state and agent schedules to Draft.
Note: If you no longer need a schedule in Draft state, you can click Delete to delete it.
