          Workforce Management Limits and Considerations

          Workforce Management Limits and Considerations

          Before setting up Workforce Management, review these limits and considerations.

          View supported editions.

          General Limits

          Limit Details
          Maximum number of service resources per user 1 per service resource type
          Maximum number of service resource preferences 1 per service resource

          Maximum number of records for these objects:

          Shifts, shift templates, shift scheduling operations, service resources, service territories, job profiles, operating hours, resource absences, time sheets, or scheduling constraints

          Workloads and Forecasting Limits

          Limit Details

          Maximum number of weeks in a workload history

          Note
          Note After a workload is created, it can continue to be refreshed with data for subsequent weeks. As a result, there is no overall limit on the number of years of data that can be maintained. We recommend archiving older data manually based on your retention requirements.
          260 (5 years)
          Minimum number of weeks in a workload history when creating a forecast 3 weeks
          Maximum number of weeks in a forecast 12 weeks
          Maximum size of a workload history or forecast export 40,000 records
          Maximum number of forecast adjustments with an hourly interval 50 records per adjustment, but you can make multiple updates
          Maximum number of forecast adjustments with a daily interval 30 records per adjustment, but you can make multiple updates
          Maximum number of forecast adjustments with a monthly interval 4 records per adjustment, but you can make multiple updates

          Capacity Plan Limits

          Limit Details
          Maximum number of weeks in a short-term capacity plan 12
          Maximum number of job profiles per plan 10
          Maximum slices per job profile. A slice represents a per-channel combination of region, skill, and custom values aggregated in the workload. 20 slices
          Capacity plan processing 1 plan per org at a time

          Intraday Management Limits

          Limit Details
          Maximum number of capacity plans or service territories associated with an Intraday Management dashboard 1 per dashboard

          Maximum number of shifts on which Mass Shift Update can assign and update status The number of shifts within a 90-day timespan. We recommend that you select less than 50,000 shifts. It can take a few hours to assign and update the status on 50,000 shifts.
          Maximum number of scheduling rules 50
          Maximum number of scheduling constraints 50

          Maximum number of records per page in these Shift Manager views

          Maximum number of Resource Absence records per page in the Shift Manager Up to 300 records per page
          Maximum historical data in adherence metrics (Workforce Management only) Up to the past 365 days

          General Considerations

          Workforce Management supports only time zones based on full hours, such as GMT+9:00 but not GMT+9:30. When you create a workload history, you select a service territory, which sets the time zone used in related data views. The setup flow shows only service territories with full-hour time zones.

          Considerations for Workload Histories and Forecasting

          • You can create multiple forecasts from the same workload. However, you can’t create or update forecasts for a workload while another forecast creation or workload update is in progress. During these operations, the workload is locked until processing is complete.
          • Use Average Handle Times (AHT) less than 60 minutes in a workload or a forecast.

          Considerations for Capacity Planning

          • When the number of job profiles increases, the prediction for Staff Required in a short-term plan increases. This increase happens because we split the workload across job profiles equally, calculate the required staff for each job profile separately, and then round up to the nearest whole number. If the workload is small, when you add job profiles, you can see a sudden jump in the number of staff required.
          • If a shift template changes after you create a plan, Workforce Engagement can’t create shifts from it. Specifically, if you change a shift template’s start time, end time, or job profile, you can’t create shifts from the plan.
          • When two shift templates have overlapping hours, the plan uses the template that covers demand with the least number of shifts.
          • The capacity planning engine uses specific algorithms tailored to distinct operational profiles. The current implementation is scoped to support work streams characterized by an Average Handle Time (AHT) of less than 1 week, alongside an arrival rate of <= 2 transactions per hour (or a daily aggregate of ~50 transactions).
