How to activate Remote Agent Listing by setting on/off hours

Hi All

We have remote agents list dialing 20 lines smoothly and loaded with 200k leads.

My problem - how to set an automatic trigger to turn ON the list and turn OFF at the desired time, since we're doing it manually to prevent it from dialling during off hours.


Any suggestions would help.


TIA

That is not presently a feature of Vicidail. Probably because it's too easy to write a sql query to change a remote agent between ACTIVE and INACTIVE at specific times.

Most, however, change the remote agents to INACTIVE automatically, but reserve ACTIVE for a manual change at the start of shift by a manager to avoid activation when there is nobody in the room during any unusual staffing incidents.
