Shift scheduling for call center teams

Orbit lets managers set recurring weekly shifts with effective dates and planned breaks. Team schedules provide a planning view, while each employee can check the shifts assigned to them.

CONNECTED WORK

Where this workflow goes next

Scheduled work gives context to clock-in and clock-out records. Attendance history and time-based performance measures use the working day captured by the schedule and attendance modules.

CURRENT PRODUCT SCOPE

What to expect

Orbit schedules people and breaks. It does not forecast contact volume or automatically generate staffing requirements.

THE ANSWERS

What Orbit does, in plain language.

Can schedules take effect on a future date?

Yes. Weekly schedules include effective dates.

Can one day contain more than one shift?

Yes. Orbit supports multiple shifts in a day and checks for overlap in the schedule editor.

Does Orbit predict how many agents are needed?

No. Demand forecasting and automatic staffing recommendations are outside the current scheduling workflow.
