          Set Up a Status-Based Capacity Model

          Set Up a Status-Based Capacity Model

          Measure service rep capacity more accurately with the status-based capacity model. With this model, Omni-Channel determines service rep capacity based on the status of accepted work rather than the open tabs and sessions. If service reps are unavailable or close their work tabs, their work remains assigned and applied to their capacity until the work is completed or reassigned. Service reps can also pause work to be completed later. In contrast, the tab-based capacity model releases a service rep's capacity when a work tab is closed in the service console.

          2. Select Enable Status-Based Capacity Model.
            Enable Status-Based Capacity Model
            You can now set up the status-based capacity model for each channel.
          3. From Setup, enter Service Channels in the Quick Find box, then select Service Channels.
          4. Edit an existing service channel or add a new one.
          5. For each service channel, select the Status-Based capacity model. (1)

          6. Specify the picklist field that you use to track work status and the field values that you use for completed, paused, and in-progress work. (2) For information on the In-Progress, Paused, and Completed states, see Service Channel Settings. For information on setting picklist values for Status Field, see Add or Update Picklist Values. The Paused state is available only when Enhanced Omni-Channel is enabled.
            Note
            Note For some channels, these values are system-controlled, so mapping picklists in this way isn’t available.
          7. Optionally, check one or both of the Check agent capacity checkboxes to determine a rep’s capacity before Omni-Channel reopens or reassigns work. (3) If the service rep doesn’t have capacity, the work item is rerouted based on how it was most recently routed. For example, if the work item was routed using queue-based routing, Omni-Channel reroutes the work item to the queue that it was assigned to. For work that’s assigned to a specific service rep, leave the Check agent capacity checkboxes blank to override a capacity check and keep the work assigned to the service rep.

          Considerations for Status-Based Capacity Models

          Keep these factors in mind when using status-based capacity models.

          Review these considerations before you use status-based capacity.

          • With the status-based capacity model, Omni-Channel can assign a service rep a total of 100 work items. The Omni-Channel component shows the first 20 assigned work items. An additional 20 work items can remain open and assigned, but they don't impact service rep capacity. To view more work items, a service rep should close other work items, go offline, and then come back online.
          • A work item consumes service rep capacity only if Omni-Channel first assigns the work using queues or skills. Work items created before status-based capacity is enabled don't apply toward service rep capacity.
          • To make sure that service reps have a manageable workload, they should handle assignments exclusively from Omni-Channel.
          • To make sure that service reps are working on the highest priority work, Omni-Channel prioritizes work for them.
          • If you don't select the capacity checkboxes when you set up status-based capacity, the automation rules aren’t triggered.
          • After Conversation Work (ACW) isn't compatible with the status-based capacity model.
          • If using Voice with a status-based capacity model, reps can’t set their own Omni-Channel status.
          • Because contact requests aren’t compatible with status-based capacity, the status-based capacity model doesn’t support callbacks for voice calls routed with Omni-Channel Unified Routing.
