If profile agents were created for this site during schedule building, these profiles appear within a Profiles team.
Click Get data to populate the Weekly view table for the selected agents.

Using the table

The Weekly view table contains rows for each agent or profile that you selected in the Objects tree. (If a scroll bar is displayed to the right, you can use it to reveal more agents.)

This table includes the following columns:

[Expand/Collapse]	If in Planning Period mode, the first column provides expand/collapse controls that you use to display or hide each agent's or profile's weekly schedule details.
Team	This column lists each agent's or profile's team.
Agent	Two columns show an icon representing this agent's or profile's contract, and then the agent's or profile's name.
[Week Start Dates]	In Planning Period mode, when you display agent details, the rows below each agent's or profile's name indicate the start date for each week in the scenario.
[Weekdays]	These cells show agent schedule information for each weekday, for each week in the scenario. The cells' contents correspond to your selection from the Show Data for drop-down list. If the agent is not scheduled for a shift, the cell contains Day Off, the name of a full-day time-off type, *<shift>* (for scheduled working hours without a shift), or an exception name (for scheduled full-day exceptions). An icon in the cell for a weekday indicates whether the schedule has been changed for that agent. If the agent's schedule for that day was assigned during scheduling or rescheduling, no icon appears. If the agent's day was edited after scheduling or rescheduling, a light-gray pencil icon appears. If the agent's day was assigned by trading or swapping, the swap icon appears. A Yield icon (upside-down red triangle) appears if there are pending changes that have not yet been committed to the scenario. If there have been multiple changes, the icon represents the most recent status.
Weekly Totals	Shows each agent's or profile's total paid hours for the displayed week.
Long (Planning) Period Totals	Shows each agent's or profile's total paid hours for the schedule planning period. This period's duration and start date are set in the Policies > Contracts > Site Settings tab.

The Weekly Totals and Period Totals boxes below the table show a grand total of the paid hours for all selected agents for the weekly or planning period, respectively.

If you specified the Week Start Day setting in the Business Units Properties, the first weekday becomes the week start day. Otherwise, the first weekday is the one specified in your operating system's regional settings.

Customizing the view

Mode

Select one Week or Planning Period from the Mode drop-down list. The table displays data for the selected period. If no schedule planning period was configured or if more than one site is selected on the Object pane, then the Planning Period option is disabled.

Planning Period mode

The Scenario Planning Period mode displays schedules for the entire planning period, even if the scenario range is shorter than the number of weeks in your planning period or if the scenario's date range falls on the boundary between two different planning periods.

In these cases, different shades of white and gray indicate the type of date range that you are viewing.

Planning period color legend:

White—Indicates dates that fall within both the scenario period and the planning period.
Light Gray—Indicates dates that fall within the scenario period but are outside the planning period.
Gray—Indicates dates that fall outside the scenario period but are within the planning period.
Dark Gray—Indicates dates that are outside both the scenario and the planning period.

You can use the following buttons on the Actions toolbar (these commands also appear in the Actions menu) to further customize the displayed table:

Options	Opens the Options dialog. Enables you to customize the view by including the Agent Rank and Site Name columns.
Filter	Enables you to filter the displayed information by activities and contract types. (If you set a new filter, this immediately refreshes the view.)
