    • Get insights into team compliance with published schedules.
    • View agent's work schedule that is actual shift time vs clock-in and clock-out times.
    • Filter the team calendar based on the values in the Assignment Group, Location, Skills, Shift Plan, and Events fields for a customized view.
    • Modify agent's shift, clock-in, and clock-out times, if required
