Several types of components are installed with activation of the Workforce Optimization for Field Service (com.snc.app_fsm_wfo) plugin, including user roles, key performance indicators (KPIs), scheduled jobs, properties, and tables.
Workforce Optimization for Field Service
| Role title [name] | Description | Contains roles |
|---|---|---|

|
| Workforce Optimization FSM Admin [sn_wfo_fsm.admin ] | Grants administrative rights to create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) coaching, scheduling, teams, or channel management applications. |
|
Scheduling
| Role title [name] | Description | Contains roles |
|---|---|---|
| Shift Planning User [sn_shift_planning.user] | Grants read access for scheduling including the ability to view schedules and shifts. | |
| Shift Planning Agent [sn_shift_planning.agent] | Grants agents access to their calendar and request shift swap or time-off. | sn_shift_planning.user |
| Shift Planning Admin [sn_shift_planning.admin] | Grants administrative access to create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) schedules and work shifts. |
|
| Table | Description |
|---|---|
| sn_shift_planning_time_worked_summary | Stores the time worked summary of an agent. |
| sn_shift_planning_agent_time_work | Stores the agent's time worked, such as clock-in and clock-out times. If an agent logs in early or logs out late, then the shift start and shift end times are stored in place of the clock-in and clock-out times. |
| sn_shift_planning_agent_time_attendance | Stores the clock-in and clock-out times of agents. Data is retrieved when an agent logs in, logs out, or changes the Presence state. |
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| sn_shift_planning.number_of_days_to_cache | Number of days to cache agent schedules.
|
| sn_shift_planning.enable_schedule_adherence | Calculates and displays schedule adherence information for your agents.
|
| sn_shift_planning.early_clockin_threshold | Threshold settings indicate how many minutes early or late an agent can
clock-in or clock-out from the scheduled time without being considered
non-adherent. This is the acceptable duration of time flexibility for an agent to
start work before the scheduled start time.
|
| sn_shift_planning.adherence_threshold | Sets the percentage for a threshold in adherence. The agents who do not
qualify as above the defined threshold value (70%) are considered non-adherent
agents.
|
| sn_shift_planning.conformance_lower_threshold | Set the lower threshold percentage for flexibility in conformance. The agents
who do not qualify for the defined lower and upper conformance threshold values
(80-120) are considered non-conformant agents.
|
| sn_shift_planning.conformance_upper_threshold | Sets the upper threshold percentage for flexibility in conformance. The
agents who do not qualify for the defined lower and upper conformance threshold
values (80-120) are considered non-conformant agents.
|
| sn_shift_planning.auto_clockout_threshold | Threshold time for the system to wait and generate automatic clock-out events
when agents forget to clock-out. For example, if the threshold is set to 60
minutes and an agent's planned work shift is 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. but the agent fails
to clock out at 5 p.m., the system waits for 60 minutes and then generates an
automatic clock-out event.
|
| sn_fsm_disp_wrkspc.agent_shift_schdlng_event_color | Enables the default colors configured for each event type to display the same
event spans with same color in Dispatcher Workspace. Note: You must
select a dynamic value to display the selected color of workforce optimization
events in Dispatcher Workspace.
|
| Script Include | Description |
|---|---|
| Notify User Clock In | Counts the clock-in events whenever there is a change in agent's Presence state. |
| Notify User Clock Out | Counts the clock-out events whenever there is a change in agent's Presence state. |
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Shift Planning - Delete All Agent Schedules Cache | Deletes cache from the
sn_shift_planning_agent_availability table.
|
| Clock-out event generation (For scenarios where the clock-out event does not get triggered) | Generates clock-out events every 4 hours if agents haven't clocked
out. Note: For example, say an agent's work shift times are from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and the sn_shift_planning.auto_clockout_threshold property value is set to 60 minutes. If the agent clocks in and fails to clock out, the scheduled job waits till 6 p.m. (5 p.m.+60 minutes) and if there is no clock out till 6 p.m., the system generates a clock-out event with the agent's shift end time. |
| Populate Agent Time Worked Summary | Runs daily to calculate the time worked, adherence, and conformance based on an agent's planned and actual work shift times for the previous day. The values are stored in the [sn_shift_planning_time_worked_summary] table. |
| Update Wrapper End Time for Actual Work Events | Runs daily to make sure the actual work wrapper end-time is equal to last clock-out time. |
| [Schedule Adherence] Daily Data Collection | Runs the job daily and collects data for all teams indicators. |
| [Schedule Adherence] Historic Data Collection | Runs the job and collects historic data for all teams indicators. |
| [Schedule Adherence] Weekly Data Collection | Runs the job weekly and collects data for all indicators in Manager Workspace. |
