Page Comparison

The Working Hours by Schedules page  page allows you to create schedules of open hours for any day of the week. You also have the ability to define the days of the week that to which the schedule applies. This means the same schedule can be used for each day of the week or you can create multiple schedules if working hours for your contact center differ from one day to the next.

Multiple open hours intervals can be defined You can define multiple open-hour intervals throughout one day. For example, your contact center may be closed from 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM and after 5:30 PM everyday, but open from 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM and again from 1:00 PM – 5:30 PM. This means you would enter your working hour intervals as 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM and 1:00 PM – 5:30 PM. Non-working hours are not defined, and any times not defined are assumed to be non-working hours.

Exceptional dates schedules can also be created. Exceptional dates might consist of holidays, extended hours, or corporate event dates.

When you first navigate to the Working Hours, you are presented with a list of schedules already existing. The following information is displayed for each schedule: schedule name, the applied queue, and status (e.g. In use, Not in use).

Note:  In addition, you can set up a time zone for schedules, and then choose the time zone, dates, and times for a selected schedule that will be resolved according to this time zone. When the time zone in the schedule is changed, the entire schedule will be adjusted to a different time zone. This allows accounts with offices in different countries (i.e., in multiple time zones) to configure their work in a more flexible way, without the necessity to calculate time shifts from the base account time zone.
