Mapping job profiles to queues lets you create capacity plans and schedule shifts based on queues. Mapping job profiles to queues involves:
- Associating a job profile to the queue it routes to
- Defining the capacity settings for the job profile
- Defining the service level agreements for the job profile
To map job profiles to queues, open the Settings: Workforce Engagement tab. For standard Salesforce user profiles, this tab is enabled automatically by selecting the Enable Workforce Engagement Configuration checkbox when you turn on Workforce Engagement. For custom user profiles, you must make this tab visible. In Setup, go to Profiles; under Tab Settings, set Settings: Workforce Engagement to Default On.
Complete these steps to map job profiles to queues.
