Reading the Data
The table provides columns that display the following statistics:
| Week/Time Step | Identifies the range of dates or timesteps on this row. (The column's label and contents depend on the date range and granularity that you selected above.) |
| [Days or Dates] | If you select the Month date range, each group of columns shows statistics for one full day.
If you select the Week date range, each group of columns indicates one date, the top row shows daily totals, and each lower row shows statistics for one timestep on that date. (Timestep durations depend on the granularity that you selected above.) |
| IV | Shows the interaction volume forecasted for each day or timestep. |
| IV% | Shows this row's percentage of the day's total interaction volume. |
| AHT | Shows the average handling time. |
| Weekly Totals | If you select the Month date range, these columns show weekly totals, or averages, for the IV, IV%, and AHT statistics. |
Cleanup and Calculation Options
Choose these commands from the Actions menu or select their icons from the toolbar:
|
Cleanup | Opens the Cleanup Master Forecast window, where you can remove information from the Master Forecast for selected dates and activities. |
|
Use Multi-Site Activities | Controls whether WFM Web's calculation of aggregated information includes multi-site activities. You can select this button only if you first select a multi-site activity, Business Unit, or Enterprise in the Objects tree.
