  1. Ensure that the Info button is selected.

The chart presents the number of agents that have been scheduled with a specific number of the selected shift category.

EXAMPLE   The Early shift category is selected in the menu above the chart. The bar for the value 5 on the x axis reaches 7 on the y axis. This means that there are 7 agents who have 5 early shifts each.

The table gives a summary for each available shift category.

  • Min—The lowest number of shifts of this shift category scheduled for an agent.
  • Max—The highest number of shifts of this shift category scheduled for an agent.
  • Average—The average number of shifts of this shift category scheduled for the agents.
