Business Unit Skills

Using the Business Units > Skills pane, you can select the skills you want to include in a business unit (BU). To open this pane, select a BU and in the right-side pane, click Skills.

Skills are imported into WFM automatically during synchronization, but they are first defined and assigned to agents in Genesys Administrator. In WFM, skills are assigned to business units (not sites). A skill is assigned to one business unit only and can be assigned only to activities and profiles under this business unit.

Read more about skills in the Workforce Management Administrator's Guide.
