Using the Scenario Viewer

The Scenario Viewer is the first screen you see when you open the application. Once you have selected a Center, Staff Type, and Contact Type combination, the Scenario View main grid displays.

The grid looks like a spreadsheet, with a month or week label for each column and information for each row (for example, staff levels, shrinkage assumptions, staff efficiency metrics, contact information, service quality performance, and financial performance information).

The very top of the screen lists the scenario file name that is in use (for example, Current Year Plan.cbg). Below the file name is the text menu: File, Edit, Input, Optimize, Results, and Help, accessible by mouse, or by pressing the ALT key in combination with the underlined letter of the command.

Below the text menu is a row of labeled buttons for major Genesys Decisions features. These buttons include New, Open, Save, Export, Print, Undo, Settings, Staff, Forecast, Learning, Financials, Staff Plan, Hire, ET/UT, Analysis, Trends, Reports, Publish, and Help.

Below the buttons, drop-down boxes allow you to specify the Center, Staff Type, and Contact Type with which you wish to work. Click the down arrow in the box and select the desired element. The Display Options settings are located to the far right of this same row.

Use the scroll bars at the bottom and right of the screen to navigate to non-visible parts of the data grid.

Scenario and history cells will have a different background color. See Changing the Default Color Settings for information about changing default system colors.
