Link skills to queues

After you have created a skill-based scheduling period, assign queues to it. Determine the required skill, and associate that skill with the incoming contact queues.

Before you begin

Create a skill-based scheduling period

Procedure 

  1. Go to Forecasting and Scheduling. From Campaigns, select Queues.

  2. Under Campaign Name, expand the campaign and select the scheduling period to which you want to link a work queue.

  3. To add a queue to the scheduling period, select Add Queue to Scheduling Period.

  4. Select the queues you want and select Add Selected Queues.

  5. On the Campaign Queues screen, enter a skill in the Skill field for each queue.

    Associate each work queue with a skill so that the scheduling engine knows which employees can service the workload.

  6. Select Save.

Make sure that you selected the Skill Based option for the scheduling period. You can only define or edit the skill for the selected queue if this option is enabled.
