Campaign settings

When creating a campaign, you need to complete fields that define the campaign.

Field

Description

Name

Defines the name of the campaign.

Description

Optional: Describes the campaign.

Time Zone

Sets the time zone of the campaign.

Week Start Day

Specifies the day of the week on which the campaign starts its work week.

Periodicity

Specifies the time period of the scheduling periods defined for the campaign:

  • Weekly: Campaign includes weekly scheduling periods.

  • Monthly: Campaign includes monthly scheduling periods.

Month Start Day

 

NOTE: The Periodicity and Month Start Day fields only appear if the Monthly scheduling feature is enabled by activating the Monthly Forecast and Rules license.

Day Boundary

Specifies the time at which one day is considered to end and the next to begin.

Day boundaries that are set at 30 mins past the hour are not always compatible when working with Scheduling Periods that overlap DST periods. We recommend you use day boundaries that are set on the hour.

Distributed Campaign

Indicates whether a campaign is a distributed campaign.

Distributed campaigns are campaigns that include distributed work queues.

Distributed work queues are used in multi-site scheduling, where workload is allocated among the sites, regardless of employee availability. A predetermined percentage of interactions is routed to each site in each interval.

The calendar uses Time Zone and Day Boundary to determine to which day shifts belong. When user and campaign time zones are different, shifts appear to belong to the wrong day when viewing them in user time zone.
