  1. The ability to allow the system to generate the FTE requirement for the workloads for Chat and Phone based on historical arrival patterns, but to also have a fixed minimum requirement (ie. 1 or 2) to protect the workstream in the event that there's no requirement to guarantee that the workstream will still have some coverage. It would be helpful to not have the min requirement to be added to the historical forecast when the historical exceeds the min requirement, but only utilize the min when the requirement based on the forecast would fall below the min. required set.

  2. Can we only use seasonal forecasting when we believe the YOY pattern will be same (which I believe is something Greg said in his training) / Observation: it seems like the platform should be able to combine both SMA and seasonal forecasting into one

    With Aspect it had the ability to control inside of the forecast how important are long term and short term trends. Being able to adjust how much of the forecast was impacted by close in trends.

    Ideally the platform would understand the seasonal nature of the environment, but be able to use recent trends to increase…

  3. Display volume trends as a percent in the Forecast configuration that can be edited if preferred. For instance, it's showing ^5% as the recent trend it's using to calculate the upcoming forecasts, the client can choose to keep that or can edit it to something else they would like to use for the upcoming forecast.

  4. We are able to export the intraday volume graph, the daily historical volume pattern graph, and the intraday historical volume pattern as .csv or .xls. However, the last graph for AFAHT, you cannot export as .csv or .xls. Could we make it possible to do so? Reason being twofold; the other three graphs are exportable, and then this is the only place AFAHT is all encompassing by day and interval.

  5. Currently, to re-run the forecast after a change is made you have to click Edit > Set Last Run Timestamp, then save workstream configuration, then fully leave the Forecast section and come back after 5-10 minutes. It would be nice if there was a straightforward way to re-run it.

  6. Allows us to be able to smooth out a forecast by being able to adjust/normalize anomalies at the interval level by AHT. Big win for forecasting, as you would avoid forecasting spikes at certain intervals to data load, etc.

  7. Having the ability to keep normal forecast intact, when import manual forecast have it show as adjusted forecast, not override forecast volume. Currently it will override the forecast, not show as the adjusted.

  8. At the moment when configuring special days for a workstream / forecast, I have to go to the same Calendars where I manage leave. This is confusing. It would be great to have business hours and special days moved to the Forecasting Configuration as it's a lot more relevant.

  10. Would like the Playvox widget in Zendesk to restrict ticket tabs to allow only one ticket at a time to be open. Also would like the widget to continually track AHT and not allow agents to be in a ticket status without a ticket open.

  11. When I'm looking at multiple weeks at a time I'd like to be able to filter down to day of week. For example if I'm analyzing the last four weeks but only want to see the last four Mondays side by side. A day of week filter option would allow me to do this.

  12. I'd like a place where I can notate when system issues and outages occurred for forecasting purposes. I don't want this to be coded on an agent's schedule or for the agents to flip into this status in their actuals as this would remove them from phone availability. I currently can make notes in edit forecast and in historical pattern summary, but I would want this even for small incremental system issues where it wouldn't result in having to normalise the day or edit a forecast. I would want this to be exportable, ideally at an interval leave so I…

  14. Looking for a way to show multiple forecasts potentially and how they compared to the actual volume. Only able to view one forecast at a time to compare.

  15. Manage Forecast and Scenarios. When you open an override, if you want to create one for volume, the only dropdown is to do it by percent.

    Could we model after the AHT option, which includes percent, value, and increment.

  16. Would be great to see the original forecast, 12 hr trending forecast and how many FTE we need based on actual volumes. Historical Trail of forecast form previous timeline to current would also be ideal

  17. When editing the forecast on Edit Forecast, I can only make changes by altering the 'daily forecast volume' in terms of actually manually changing the number.

    It would be nice to have other methods to update the daily forecast volume, such as by applying a set percentage increase / decrease for the date range or selected time intervals

  18. Some of our workstreams (particularly our region-based workstreams) have specific operating hours.

    It would be great to be able to define the operating hours for Chat / Voice and have the option to choose how to handle the workstream volumes arrive outside of these business hours.

    As it is Chat / Voice, those volumes may need to be excluded as there's nothing we can do to return the chat / call.

    For other people who might route to a voicemail and return these calls, they might want to include them in the forecast.

    Just the configurability would be great.

  19. Intraday historical template, the second workload column should be AFSHT, not AFAHT. I tried importing it for the first time using data in both columns today, and it simply overrode the AFAHT when I kept the column titles unchanged. It ended up giving me just one column. When I changed the column title to AFSHT, it took the second column as solved handle time as I expected to see. Adding an attachment for reference.

    Thank you for taking the time to bring this feature request to Playvox.

    A Product Owner will review the request for potential inclusion within the backlog / roadmap. Updates will be provided as the feature progresses.

    The Playvox Team

  20. When using Seasonality forecasts and the option to forecast for weekends separately - include weekends as entries on the forecast export CSV, even if the value for that day/weekend is 0. Currently, these do not show if the value is '0'.
