About this task

You can display events in their selected default color on Dispatcher Workspace calendar by configuring the sn_fsm_disp_wrkspc_agent_shift_schdlg_event_color property. Different events can be created in the Workforce Optimization for Field Service application, such as agent's break, time-off, and more.
