New in the Vancouver release
- Work scheduler
- Manage work of all your teams from a central location. You can get visibility into your entire team workload. You can assess the complexity level of your teams' tasks, their capacity to take on the work, and assign or reassign work—all from a calendar interface.
- Event types in shifts for effective scheduling
- Use the Scheduler to create shifts for agents and assign specific event types to those shifts. An event type categorizes the type of work that is done by the agents in those shifts.
- Including or excluding user criteria for event types
- As an administrator, you can add or remove access to users for any event type, such as a meeting or training, so that your users can manage the event types that are only relevant to them.
- Verifying user access for your groups or team members
- As a manager, you can verify the access of your group or team members to create, read, write, or delete events.
