In the Capacity Plan page, specify these details:
- Enter a unique identifier in the Name field.
- Provide context in the Description field (optional).
The system automatically populates the forecast. The selected forecast determines the start and end dates, and users can adjust if required. - Click Next.
- On the Choose Queues for this Capacity Plan page, select one or more queues to include. Each queue must be mapped to a job profile. If a queue isn't mapped, click Map to Job Profile and assign a job profile to the queue. See create job profile.
- Click Next.
-
The system validates the selected queues and associated job profiles. If the validation
fails, an error message identifies the issue and provides a link to the related
configuration. Click Go to Shift Template. To create a shift template, see create shift template.
For example, a job profile might not be mapped to a valid shift template, or a shift template might not meet scheduling requirements.
-
Click Finish.
The capacity plan is generated.
