WFM Forecast Workload and Queue Statistics dataset
The WFM Forecast Workload and Queue Statistics dataset contains the following data:
Date Interval
| Data field | Definition |
|---|---|
| Date Interval | A date and time value representing the reporting interval in which the data was captured. Interval duration depends on the system configuration. |
Forecast & Queue Stat Calcs
| Data field | Definition |
|---|---|
| Calculated Volume (Actual) | The calculated actual volume is the total workload volume after adjusting offered, abandoned, and overflow call counts by their respective workload calculation percentages. This field reflects how the different types of call outcomes contribute to workload based on configured workload settings. If the resulting calculated value is zero or less, no value is returned. |
| Forecast vs. Actual After Call Work Abs. diff. (%) | The absolute percentage difference between actual After Call Work time and forecasted After Call Work time. The value is calculated as the absolute difference between total actual and forecasted After Call Work time, divided by the total actual After Call Work time. If actual After Call Work time is zero, no value is returned. |
| Forecast vs. Actual Handling Time Abs. diff. (%) | The absolute percentage difference between actual handling time and forecasted handling time. The value is calculated as the absolute difference between total actual and forecasted handling time, divided by the total actual handling time. If actual handling time is zero, no value is returned. |
|
Forecast vs. Actual Talk Time Abs. diff. (%) |
The absolute percentage difference between actual talk time and forecasted talk time. The value is calculated as the absolute difference between total actual and forecasted talk time, divided by the total actual talk time. If actual talk time is zero, no value is returned. |
|
Forecast vs. Actual Volume Abs. diff. (%) |
The absolute percentage difference between actual calculated volume and forecasted volume. The value is calculated as the absolute difference between total actual calculated volume and forecasted volume, divided by the total actual calculated volume. If actual calculated volume is zero, no value is returned. |
|
Service Level (%) (Answered Within SL / Calculated Volume) |
The percentage of contacts answered within the defined service level threshold compared to the calculated actual volume. The value is calculated by dividing the total answered volume within service level by the total calculated actual volume. If the calculated actual volume is zero, the value is set to zero. If the result exceeds 100 percent, it is limited to 100 percent. |
