Managing Calendar Events

The Agent Desktop application is equipped with a calendar that agents can use to schedule various tasks and events related to their work, such as follow-up calls with customers. For general information about the calendar, see the Bright Pattern Contact Center Agent Guide, section How to Open the Calendar.

Working with Agent Calendars

In addition to using your own calendar for your personal scheduled events (as a supervisor), you can also view calendars of members of your team and reassign their scheduled tasks to other agents.

How to View an Agent's Calendar

There are a couple ways to view the calendar of an agent on your team. You can access their calendars from your own personal calendar, or you can navigate to their calendars from the agent management functions available on your Supervision screen.

From Your Own Calendar

1. To view an agent’s calendar from your own calendar, click the Calendar icon on Agent Desktop's main menu. Your calendar will be shown in the Context Information Area.

3. Select the name of the agent whose calendar you wish to view. The agent's calendar will be shown in your Context Information Area. You can tell whose calendar you are viewing by looking at the name shown at the top of the calendar.
