Stand up the Intraday Management dashboard

Two paths exist here. A new build should add the Intraday component to Service Cloud Command Center, which requires Enhanced Omni-Channel. Steps 2 through 4 are the legacy Omni-Channel queue-based path, where enablement lands near the end because the dashboard reads a plan you build first.

Two paths exist here. A new build should add the Intraday component to Service Cloud Command Center, which requires Enhanced Omni-Channel. Steps 2 through 4 are the legacy Omni-Channel queue-based path, where enablement lands near the end because the dashboard reads a plan you build first.

  1. Turn on Workforce Management in Setup

    From Setup, enter Workforce Engagement in the Quick Find box and select it. Switch on the Turn on Workforce Management toggle, then select Turn on Workforce Engagement and Show historical adherence metrics.

  2. Build the capacity plan

    Create a capacity plan marked short term that covers at least the next 24 hours. Generate the intelligent forecast it reads before you get here, since the plan will not build without one.

  3. Open the app and pick your basis

    From the App Launcher, find and select Intraday Management, then click Let's Go. Choose your capacity plan. On a non-Omni setup, choose No Plan instead and select a service territory.

  4. Create shifts and shift segments

    Create shifts against the same service territory as the dashboard, then split them into shift segments. Segments carry the Work, Non-Work, and Break categories that the staffing math depends on.

  5. Add the Intraday component to Command Center

    For a new build, turn on Enhanced Omni-Channel and add the Intraday component to Service Cloud Command Center. That grid shows scheduled, required, and net staffing, and it stands in for step 3.

  6. Refresh at the start of each day

    Click refresh in the Data Graph View every morning. That single action pulls the current business day into both views.

Turn on Workforce Managementremember

Master toggle on the Workforce Engagement Setup page. Nothing else there takes effect until it is on.

Show historical adherence metricsremember

Adds historical adherence reporting next to the intraday view for comparison against the longer pattern.

Capacity Planremember

Sets the forecast baseline for the Data Graph View. Change it with Edit above the graph.

Service Territoryremember

The dashboard basis in a non-Omni workflow, picked after you choose No Plan.

Enhanced Omni-Channelremember

Prerequisite for the Command Center intraday component. Standard Omni-Channel is scheduled for retirement in Summer '26.

Gotchas
  • If the app never appears in the App Launcher, check Tab Settings on your profile and your planners' profiles.
  • Shifts and the dashboard must sit on the same service territory. A mismatch leaves the Team Management View looking empty.
  • The Data Graph View covers 24 hours only, in your operating hours time zone, so follow-the-sun needs one dashboard per region.
  • Workforce Management supports whole-hour time zones only, so a site on GMT+5:30 or GMT+9:30 is out of scope on either surface.
