Unassigned shifts

Unassigned Shifts are simply shifts without an assignee (makes sense, right?). Depending on your Schedule Settings agents can either take this type of shift with or without a manager's approval. You can also turn this feature off entirely so that agents cannot take Unassigned Shifts. In addition, you can assign an Unassigned Shift to any of your available agents.
