View a list of active agents
The product activation key covers a specific number of active agents. An agent is considered active if they are connected to a team, scheduled on at least one shift within the default scenario and have an active employment. An active employment is when no leaving date is set, or when it is set for a future date.
-
Click Display next to the number of Active agents in use. A list of all active agents is displayed. For each agent, the following information is shown.
- Business unit.
- First and last name.
- Email address.
- Employment number.
- The start date of the first person period.
- Leaving date.
- Use the list to find any agents that should not be counted as active.
NOTE Use alternative scenarios if you want to simulate scheduling more agents than what your product activation key covers. Agents who are only scheduled in a scenario other than the default scenario do not count as active agents.
