  1. Right now, there is no way to see an agent's max hours or shifts per week. The User Shifts and User Availabilities tables only show the Minimum for each. When manually adjusting someone's schedule, you have to click into their agent view then back to the roster for each person you are adjusting
    Also, it'd be nice to have a Total Hours Rostered (excluding RDO). It shows total Paid, Leave, Shrinkage, and Productive, but you have export and add/subtract to get an overall total (for example, if you wanted to see how many FTEs were scheduled that week)

  2. Would like to see the ability to enter customized shrinkage at the roster level in different intervals throughout the week. Example - higher shrinkage for the morning and evening to staff up for absences and lower shrinkage in the afternoons to encourage meetings, etc.

    This would also be good to not be set to the task but applied overall to the workplan

  3. As an organisation our reliance on topping up our rostered staff hours with Opt In Hours is currently reducing week on week. The appetite for Opt in Hours from frontline staff however isn't reducing and this is causing an amount of confusion amongst the staff in how their pledges aren't necessarily being transported to roster.

    Should our reliance on needing Opt In hours continue to reduce week on week, then this confusion will only increase.

    It's been identified that this is caused by a supply/demand issue.

    To counter this, and to minimise traffic/confusion it would be good to introduce some…

  4. We'd love to see the following enhancement made to Schedule Update function if possible?

    At present, the schedule update tool won't work in adding new starters to their allocated teams when they complete their defined period of Training/Academy time to a roster that has already been generated and published.

    As an organisation we're rolling out our main rosters for a longer period of time and are also in a period of having fortnightly intakes of staff. So every 2 weeks we're now having to move a sizeable headcount of new starters into their new teams manually. As our rosters grow…

  5. In our organisation we have a high internal attrition meaning that every month we have a significant number of agents moving from one department to another.

    At present the process of manual moving an agent to a selected roster is a time consuming one and with us looking to extend our roster range to a rolling 12months out it will mean even more time potentially being spent on selecting each selected roster one at a time to add a new agent into that roster.

    As a proposal, much in the same way we can queue rosters to be generated overnight/out…

  6. The ability to have notifications sent to manager when agents opt in to tasks from the Opt In hours feature. We don't need this for every Opt In policy but would be nice to have the ability to info or request approval for certain instances.

  7. Manage Roster > select agent > Bulk Edit Shifts:

    Allow you to bulk edit shifts with shrinkage tasks as well from here (ie. Onboarding Training/Compliance Training task). Currently it only allows you to edit using workload.

  8. Can we please look at introducing the re-optimisation of rosters that includes current active schedules as well as future schedules for the day that have not yet started. Planners want to be able to react to real-time conditions in the Performance Summary Dashboard for example and re-optimise based on that.

  9. Our use case requires us to schedule people into specific duties (tasks) on a set schedule (fixed recurrence and start/end times), independent of the forecast, with a set number of assignees for each slot. We can identify the pool of people eligible for this task via business roles.

    We are currently using events to do this scheduling, but as we keep adding new roles across our global team, the number of events we have to manage is becoming unmanageable.

    We would like to be able to include this in the automatic schedule generation by defining the fixed time slots for…

  10. The Quagi Beach release (https://help-wfm.playvox.com/hc/en-us/articles/19098359933075-Quagi-Beach-Release-August-8th-2023#:~:text=Roster%20Generation%20Now%20Includes%20Scheduled%20Updates) introduced updates to how scheduled user profile updates are considered when generating the roster, but the existing implementation is limited in utility because scheduled updates are only taken into account in the roster starting after the updated was scheduled.

    This means that if a user profile update is scheduled on a date that falls in the middle of the roster, the roster for that user is generated with data prior to the scheduled update, instead of using the initial configuration for the days before the scheduled update and the new configuration for the…

  11. When an admin adjusts someone's shift in the Manage Roster section, the event such as coaching or meeting moves with the shift. Could we offer a pop up to occur if someone tried to slide a shift with a meeting event on it, to ask if they want to lock the event or move it with the shift?

  12. Ability to create a task that the user can use at any time, without affecting the adherence, but with a time limit.

    E.g: We have flexible lunchtime, so the users can take their lunchtime whenever they decide, but that lunchtime cannot be more than 1 hour, so when the task goes over 1 hour it starts to affect adherence.

  14. A button or just a field that we can set the number of slots that will apply for the whole day/week instead of manually filling up every interval

    Reason -> OTs are usually open for the whole day hence doing this is a tedious job

  16. Right now when you add events in the roster config feature, you cannot set an end date. If I have a recurring event that will happen for just a week or a month, I would like to set it for only that week/month. As it is, I have to create the event, set it to start on the start date, and then delete it after all rosters are generated with it (and hope I don't have to regen). Alternatively, I can create separate events for each date, but this is very time consuming and leaves a lot of room for…

  18. Ability to automatically transfer shifts content when a user is transferred to a team belonging to a different roster already generated.

    Today the team change is automatically done by the system but we have to cancel all shifts on the old roster and to create all shifts on the new roster (see enclosed document as example).

  19. When looking at the Schedule Coverage Chart in the Manage Roster, you are only able to view multiple tasks as a combined view of the coverage for both tasks. We would like to see a separation between the task coverage if there are multiple selected. This way we can view the impact to changes within the roster individually for each task without having to switch between them.
