  • 1.  Intraday monitoring - Scheduling Unit

    Posted 01-27-2021 09:25

    What is the impact on Intraday monitoring if an agent from a different scheduling unit is assigned to take calls in another scheduling unit (i.e. if staff X in scheduling unit A is assigned a workgroup to take calls for a scheduling unit B)

    Based on the above scenario will the staff show up in the intraday adherence screen B though they do not belong to scheduling unit B but they still have the workgroup assigned to them to handle calls for that scheduling unit?

    I haven't tested it, but I don't think they will.  Looking at the backend data tables, associates are only related to a Scheduling Unit (SU) based on where their shift is defined.  So the agent should show in Real Time Adherence (RTA) for the SU where the schedule resides, not where they are actually taking calls.

    Also, when looking at Service Level projections in Intraday (or even on the schedule screen) that agent will not contribute to the staffing, the SL or ASA projections in SU B since the schedule is built in SU A .  In a larger workgroup, this may not be a big issue as 1 FTE off may only account for less than 1% of the overall staffing.  However, in a small workgroup or SU that one FTE may represent a change of 10% or 20% in staffing!

    Thanks Kenn! Do you think the calls offered and answered by staff X shows within the intraday screen of scheduling unit B though staff X doesn't belong to Scheduling unit B.

    This may depend on how you've set everything up and what ACD you're using.  In our setup, calls are routed to a workgroup then to an agent with the appropriate skill.  So for us, it doesn't matter which workgroup(s) the agent is for routing or scheduling, the volume still hits the appropriate workgroup and is tracked in the right workgroup for trending and reporting.

    Things may get fuzzy if you're trying to go back and compare your scheduled headcount per interval to your actual online headcount though.  Your schedules would tell you that your SCHEDULED fte is 10, but when you look at your ACTUAL fte it's 11 and you may scratch your head.​
