CT Active Forecast Export Module

At-A-Glance

Category: CT-related

Export file type: Pipe-delimited (|)

File Naming Convention: ctActiveForecast_mmddyy_hhmm.txt

The output file contains one record per CT for each statistics period of each date specified. The export does not consider CT hours. The export can be run for past, current, or future dates, but includes only active forecast data.

If you specify a date range for the export, and there is no data for a date within the range, that date is omitted from the output file.

This export doesn't differentiate between duplicate periods that occur on the Daylight Saving Time (DST) date. When there are multiple entries for the same period on a DST date, it doesn't show which of them occurred first.

Output File: Fields and Descriptions

During your Professional Services engagement, you can choose which of the following fields to include in your export. Make sure you include every field you think you might need; you'll need a change request if you want to add fields after the export is configured. If you don't select specific fields, your export will include all the fields described here.

Field Description Values
date

If a date format is specified in the dateFormat attribute of the exportList element, the export uses that format. Otherwise, dates are formatted as mmddyyyy.

This field is calculated at the time the export is run. You can find more information about these calculations in the help guides for the IEX WFM Rich Client Platform (RCP).

Formatted to 2 decimal places.

Value represents requirements which meet or exceed all three forecast objectives: service level, ASA, and maximum occupancy.

Includes adjustments for:

  • Multi-skill efficiency
revPlanReq

Revised plan requirement for the period.

This field is calculated at the time the export is run. You can find more information about these calculations in the help guides for the IEX WFM Rich Client Platform (RCP).

This is the same as fcstReq.
commitPlanReq

Copied requirements for the period.

This field is calculated at the time the export is run. You can find more information about these calculations in the help guides for the IEX WFM Rich Client Platform (RCP).

Formatted to 2 decimal places.

schedOpen

Number of agents scheduled to be open for the CT for the period. Sum of all open values from MUSchedOpen and MUExternalOpen.

MUSchedOpen periods are 15-minutes. If the statistics period is 30 minutes, MUSchedOpen values for those two 15-minute periods are averaged for each record included in the sum.

This field is calculated at the time the export is run. You can find more information about these calculations in the help guides for the IEX WFM Rich Client Platform (RCP).
