Tag a contact
The Workforce Optimization administrator controls how long contacts are available on the Interactions page. However, if you want to keep a contact for longer than your organization’s standard retention period, you can tag it. Tagging a contact applies a new retention time to that recording. Depending on how your organization uses tagging, Workforce Optimization retains tagged contacts for a longer or shorter time than non-tagged contacts (see Manage data retention policies for QM and Analytics).
NOTE Tagging a contact overrides some QM workflow rules. If you apply a tag before a QM workflow runs, then Workforce Optimization keeps that contact and all of its associated media such as audio and screen recordings, regardless of the workflow’s retention policies. If you apply a tag after a QM workflow runs, then that tag only affects the audio of that contact, not the screen recording. This means the QM workflow policy applies to the screen recording for that contact, but tagging overrides the workflow policy for the audio. If Workforce Optimization has recycled the audio recording because a QM workflow has run, that audio is restored. See Automate QM workflows
