Accessing and navigating your agent schedule

You can access your schedule in Zendesk Support.

Note: When you access your schedule in Zendesk, your time tracker is switched to Untracked time.
To access and navigate your schedule



In Support, click the Zendesk Workforce Management icon
( ) in the sidebar to access your schedule.

You can take any of the following actions:

View your weekly Scheduled tasks. On the left side of
your schedule, you can see your scheduled tasks, including the one you are
expected to work on next. These tasks are assigned to you for the current time
based on the set intraday schedule. If your schedule is
empty, no tasks are displayed.


View your schedule for the current week under My schedule. Hover over any shift badge to see the shift’s start time, end time, and
duration.


View the schedules for the previous week, the next week, or a specific
day. Use the navigation icons to view the previous and next week's
schedules. You can return to the current week by clicking Today or view a specific
date using the calendar ( ) icon.


Refresh your schedule with the latest information. Click the
refresh ( ) icon to refresh your schedule with the most
recent information.


Set your schedule's timezone. Unless otherwise specified, your schedule uses the account’s
timezone.


Sync your schedule into your Google
calendar. If an admin has activated the Google Calendar integration for Zendesk
WFM, you can sync your WFM schedule and view your intraday schedule
within your Google Calendar.


Request time off. You can
request full or partial time off for scheduled shifts and days without a
shift.


Trade shifts with other agents and
respond to shift trade requests. If an admin has configured your
account to allow you to trade shifts, you can send trade requests to other agents.



Request to take unassigned shifts. Your approved time
off days are highlighted in red on the schedule.


Access your team’s schedule under Team schedule. If team schedule view has been activated by an admin, you
can see who you can trade a shift with, or who you will be working with in the
course of any day or week.








Switching your schedule's timezone

Unless otherwise specified, your schedule uses the account’s timezone. If you're
working in a different location, you can change your schedule's timezone to match where
you're working from.
Changing your time zone affects only your view of your schedule.
To switch your schedule’s timezone

In Support, click the Zendesk Workforce Management icon
( ) in the sidebar to access your schedule.
Click the Timezone icon ( ) in the upper-right corner.
Select your timezone. Your schedule is updated to reflect the timezone you
selected.
