Forecast vs Actual Workload report

The report answers questions like:

How well does the number of forecasted calls match the number of calls that were actually received?
How well do the forecasted AHT and ACW match the actual AHT and ACW?
How accurate was my forecast?

Use the Not defined option in the skill and workload selection to show logged queue data which is not connected to any skill and workload.
