Configure the organization structure for WFM

NOTE   The below procedures are for the client application. For the web application, follow the procedures at Configure the organization hierarchy for WFM

Create an organization structure in Provider WFM to reflect your business.

The top node in the organization structure is the business unit. Add sites and teams to the business unit to define your organization structure. The sites often correspond to physical sites, for example offices or cities. The teams are groups within the sites. When the organization structure is complete, go to the People tool to connect the agents to the teams.

The organization structure you create is used in many parts of the system to select which agents to see and work with. When selecting based on teams and sites, the result is based on the date.

EXAMPLE   An agent changed from team A to team B on March 1. If you open a report for team A for a day in February, the agent is included. If you open the report for team A for a day in March, the agent will not be included.

Users who don't belong to any team are not shown in the organization structure, except for in People where they are available in the User folder.

NOTE   Most WFM settings are individually defined for each business unit. The only items that can be available in more than one business unit are users, external logons and queues. Business units are in most cases created during the initial installation. If you need to add an additional business unit, contact the Provider support.
