Use

Service quality templates ensure that forecasts for tasks represent specific service level goals as they are created prior to creating a forecast and linked to the tasks. You use this procedure to define service quality templates. The system uses the information associated with these templates act as the input to demand forecasting when calculating demand. Service quality template data must be set at the quarter-hour level.

Service quality templates are date independent. Additionally, you can delete a service quality template only when there is no relationship to an indicator group or workload.

Note

Service quality templates are typically used only within call center scheduling.
