You can access the latest Supervisor UI that after logging in to Supervisors (Classic) UI if you have the appropriate access rights. See Opening the latest Forecast UI.

Before you can log in to WFM, you must have the WFM Web URL (address). In some contact centers, the Login page might be set up and ready for you to enter your username and password. If this is not the case, ask your administrator for the WFM Web URL. After typing it into your browser, WFM displays the splash screen for the Login user interface (UI).

Logging into WFM

Logging in

  1. Obtain the URL (address) for the WFM application from your administrator.

    The Log in window appears.
  4. Enter your user name and password.

If WFM Web validates your user name and password, the Supervisors (Classic) Home view opens. If WFM cannot log you in, it displays an error message indicating the problem. Either click Log in to try again (for example, if you think that you typed an incorrect user name or password), or click Show error details.
