View schedule generation messages

Notes:

A forecast-based schedule may take 20 minutes or longer to generate.
Agent must be configured to be schedulable to be included in generated schedule. Go to Workforce Management > Agents > Update Agent Schedulability.

Workforce management includes common built-in schedule generation messages that you can encounter when you generate forecast-based schedules or schedules without forecasts. You can use the default level of severity for each message, or you can set your own preferences. Then, after you create a schedule, you can view any generated messages or warnings from the Schedules page.

Set up severity levels for schedule generation messages

Each message is automatically set to a default severity; however, when you create a business unit, you can set your own desired level of severity. These severity levels are:

Error: The highest priority that you can set on a message.
Information: The lowest priority that you can set on a message.
Warning: The priority is higher in severity than Information, but lower than Error.
Ignore: The message does not appear during a work plan or schedule generation result.

To access and set severity levels, follow these steps:

Click Admin.
Under Workforce Management, click Schedules.
From the Business Unit list, located in the upper right corner, select the business unit.
Select the schedule for which you want to view warnings.
Click Generate Schedule. The Schedule Generation Warnings page opens.
Review the warnings and when finished, click OK.

View messages and their severity level after you generate a schedule

After you generate forecast-based schedules or schedules without forecasts, review any generated messages from the Schedules page.
