There is no current way to associate a short-term forecast with a manual schedule.
Manual schedule generation does not use a short-term forecast in any way unlike a load-based schedule generation which requires it along with service performance goals so that it can attempt to schedule the correct agents at the correct times. Even if you could you still would not have predicted values (e.g., SL, ASA, and eventually when added staffing requirement) and related difference values in intraday monitoring since those are generated by load-based schedule generation.
We have no plans on revising limitations inherent in manual schedule generation which should be rarely used by PureCloud 3 customers using WFM.
What are the reasons why they opted to use manual versus automatic load-based schedule generation?

Without a short-term forecast and load-based schedule generation method, that view would have negligible value. Essentially any predicted/forecast and difference sub-columns would be all blank. The values for those columns are intrinsically linked and computed via load-based schedule generation method.
- Interval
- Service Level
- Predicted
- Actual
- Difference
- Offered
- Answered
- Abandoned
- Average Handle Time
- Agents
- Completed
- Average Talk Time
- Average After Call Work Time
- Average Speed Of Answer
- Predicted
- Actual
- Difference

Hi -
I'm not aware of any plan to allow monitoring without a forecast. I also checked the Ideas Lab and could not find anything. Intraday monitoring is primarily focused on comparisons to the forecast so it would be interesting to better understand how the customers is looking to use this view. For example if the goal is monitor agent adherence against schedule then the Real-time Adherence view would be more appropriate.
Thanks,
