Overview

Use this Help to find all of the information you will need to understand the features in Workforce Management (WFM) Web for Agents and how it functions.

In the WFM Web for Agents window, there are two Help commands:

  • To access the entire Help file, click Help on the menu bar (to the left of Log Out). The help window that appears includes a table of contents on the left, which provides access to all help topics.
  • To access context-sensitive help, click the Help icon (WM 813 icon-help-unboxed.png) at the top right of the WFM window itself (below Log Off). The help window that appears has no table of contents, and displays only the topic that describes the WFM dialog box or window that you are currently using.

Keyboard and Audio Navigation

Instead of using a mouse to click commands, you can press the Tab key to move the "focus" to the command that you want to execute, and then press Enter or the Spacebar.

WFM Web for Agents is compatible with the speaking tool JAWS 8. Consult the JAWS 8 manual for details about its functionality and operation.

Finding Specific Information

  • To display the Table of Contents, click the Contents button. All of the topic names are links: when you click one, the topic opens on the right-hand pane. Clicking a book title opens the list of topics within that book.
  • To look for a topic using the Index, click the Index button. You can scroll through the index list and click a word to open the associated topic on the right-hand pane. Alternatively, you can type a word into the Index text box to have the Index jump to the nearest match.
  • Click the Search button to open a search text box, where you can type the text that you want to match and then press Enter. Matching topics appear in the text box below. Then click the name of the topic you want to see and it appears on the right-hand pane.
  • If you want to close the Navigation (left-hand) pane, click the X in the upper right corner of the Navigation pane.

Jumping Between Topics

Inside help topics, underlined words and phrases are links to other topics. Click any link to go directly to the related topic. (The mouse pointer becomes a pointing hand when it hovers over a link.)

To return to the topic from which you jumped, click your browser's Back button or press Backspace.

Touring All Features

Click the Contents button at left side of the Help window. Then click each of the Contents pane's topic links (including books' subtopic links) to read about the corresponding feature.

Or you can click the links in this topic's Starting to Learn About WFM Web section to begin exploring particular Help sections.
