Changing the Forecast

Time Ranges for the Interaction Volume Service Type Trend Report

The Interaction Volume Service Type Trend Report (sometimes called the Trend report) provides a forecast of one service-level measure based on the historical values that are retrieved within the time range that is bound by the start and end dates that you specify. The report provides forecasted data beginning from the end date and extending through the forecast-thru date that you specify, as shown in the figure Time Ranges for the Interaction Volume Service Type Trend Report. The Interaction Volume Service Type Trend Report uses several variable-based measures (discussed on this page, under Swapping the Forecast Measure) to load the terms for a least-squared forecast calculation. These variables are reserved for internal use; alter them only as instructed below.

To do so, perform the following steps:
