Important
Before using this wizard to build a staffing forecast, take these required actions:
- Build interaction volumes and AHT for activities.
- If necessary, create templates.
- Build a volume forecast for multi-site activity for both IV and AHT.
- Be aware that even if there is IV and AHT data for all child activities, this wizard does not build a staffing forecast for the parent multi-site activity.
