Export Schedules or Net Staffing

Exporting schedules or net staffing is done in the Schedule Manager.

You can export schedule data for multiple scheduling units or for a single agent, as well as net staffing data for multiple scheduling units. Both export options are available from the settings icon in the Schedule Manager, and the data is downloaded as a CSV file.

The exported CSV files are easier to read and understand, with a clear, line-by-line breakdown of daily activities. Each entry is labeled as an activity, shift, or other type, providing a more organized view of the schedule. The data is sorted by timeline, making it easier to follow and use. These improvements make exported files more useful for reporting, analysis, and workforce planning.

The following example shows how schedule data appears in the exported CSV file:

The exported CSV file includes a Comments column that provides additional context for scheduled activities.

  • When a comment is associated with a shift that appears multiple times in the export, the comment is displayed only for the first occurrence of that shift and is not repeated for subsequent instances.

  • Only comments entered in Schedule Manager appear in the Comments column of the exported CSV file. Comments added by agents in MyZone, or by managers when approving activities, are not included

If the CSV file includes multiple open shift entries—such as 5:30 PM–6:30 PM, 7:00 PM–8:30 PM, and 9:00 PM–1:30 AM—the comment appears only for the first open shift entry and is omitted for the remaining occurrences.
