Adjust agents' availability
Adjust the agents’ hourly availability to work or their availability to work overtime. This might be needed if they would cause issues in scheduling.
Use the Restrictions view to identify if agents have added hourly availability that conflict with any work rules or other restrictions. See Review conflicting restrictions for more information.
You can also add agents’ hourly availability for them if they for some reason cannot add them themselves before the period for entering preference closes.
Use the Restrictions tab in the agent Info view to review the restrictions that apply to each day. See Review agent details for more information.
