Adjust adherence to neutral

Adjust the logged adherence to neutral for periods when the it is unreliable, for example because of technical issues. Neutral adherence means this time period is not considered when calculating the adherence percentage.

EXAMPLE   Agents are scheduled from 08:00 to 17:00. There are technical issues during 08:00 to 10:00 causing agents to show as out of adherence. Managers choose to adjust adherence to neutral for this time period. The agents' adherence for the day is calculated based on their work during the rest of the shift, from 10:00 to 17:00.

NOTE   When you adjust the logged adherence to neutral, this is done for all agents across all business units.

There is also a possibility to approve any logged out of adherence as in adherence for an individual agent. See Review detailed historical adherence for more information.
