Create group pages to filter agents in WFM

Create your own group pages to filter agents on other criteria than the business hierarchy or the predefined group pages, such as skill or contract. The group pages are available in most places where you select agents or groups of agents.

The group pages you create can be based on existing information, such as the information in the Note column or an optional column within the People module.

Group pages based on optional columns are automatically updated with any changes to the information in the column if the Dynamic group page setting is selected for that optional column. Other created group pages are not updated automatically and must be updated manually to reflect any changes.

Prerequisites

  • You have the People permission and the underlying permissions Modify group page and Modify people within group page.
  • To define a group page as a dynamic group page, you have the Options permission.
  • Agents are added.

Page location

This functionality can be accessed in different locations.
