Viewing Schedules
Daily View
The “Your Schedule” page of the Talkdesk Workforce Management (WFM) browser app provides a view of the released schedules.
As with WFM, the mobile app reflects the configured release window (determined by the start day of the week, plus the release offset and release duration) of each account. This determines the schedules that can be viewed on the Talkdesk Schedule mobile app.
The calendar daily view allows agents to view the most important details of each day. To go back to the present day, click the Today [1] icon, in the top-right corner of the screen.
Navigate between days, by swiping right or left on the Events or Calendar sections. It is also possible to expand the calendar, to navigate more easily between days.
Weekly View
