WFM standard reports
Use the WFM reports to view data related to forecasts, schedules, and operation. The WFM reports cover the major areas of interest in a contact center.
The update frequency depends on the type of data.
- Shortly after a change has been made—Forecast data, schedule data, request data, preference data, availability data, and all selection criteria.
- Periodically during the day, usually every 15 or 30 min—Queue and agent statistics and ready-time adherence data.
- Once every hour—Staffing data for yesterday, today, tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow.
- When the agent's shift has ended—Adherence data.
- Once every 24h—Staffing data for days before yesterday and days later than the day after tomorrow.
The time frames above are valid for all scenarios where reporting is enabled.
NOTE When the system is under heavy load, for example when someone has saved a large amount of data in the People module, the updates of the report data might be delayed.
The user's roles control which reports they can access and which data they can see in those reports. Use a combination of roles to provide a user access to different sets of data in different reports.
EXAMPLE Create one role to give agents access to view only their own data in some reports and create an additional role to give the agents access to view their team's data in other reports.
