Team schedule view

As an agent, the Team Schedule view allows you to view the schedules of your colleagues in the same management unit as yourself. The Team Schedule view enables you to:

  • Check who is covering after your shift ends.
  • See if a teammate is available for a shift swap before submitting a trade request.
  • Identify when colleagues are on vacation to plan coverage.
  • Pin close coworkers so their schedules are always easy to find.

Team Schedule view includes agents that belong to the same management unit.

As an administrator, you control agents’ access to this feature to decide whether they can view schedules across their management unit. Shared schedules are always read-only and are limited to show only category-level information. For example, instead of Meeting – All Staff Meeting, agents can see the category – Meeting.

LimitationsDescription
Category-only details for teammates

You can only view category-level schedule information for other agents. For example, Meeting, Break, Meal, Time Off. You cannot see detailed activity descriptions or any notes added to activities for other agents. For example, Meeting – Return to Work.

You can view activity-level schedule information for yourself including activity codes, detailed activity descriptions, and any notes added.

Manually refresh schedule data to view updates

Team schedules update in real time, but if you leave the view open for a long time, some information may not update real time and can become outdated if a colleague’s schedule is updated. In such cases:

  • A warning icon and grayed-out schedule is displayed for the affected agent.
  • A message is displayed prompting you to refresh.
    • If refresh fails, Genesys Cloud displays the following message: Agent data is not being updated. Refresh again.
    • If the refresh fails to load the team schedule, Genesys Cloud does not display any data along with the following message: We were unable to load the data. Refresh to try again.
Error handling and loading behavior

When the data does not load, Genesys Cloud displays:

  • A placeholder text. For example, Unknown 1, Unknown 2. This error happens especially when the schedule does not update the agent’s name.
  • A warning icon, or a refresh option.
  • A skeleton loading view indicating that schedules are being retrieved.
  • A warning message is displayed – If the own schedule fails to load, the UI displays a toast containing a refresh button that enables the user to retry.
Management unit scope only

  • They are within your own management unit. You cannot view schedules across multiple management units.
