Genesys Cloud Resource Center provides comprehensive functionality for managing planning groups within workforce management systems, enabling users with appropriate permissions to modify existing planning groups by editing names, changing service goal templates and media type selections, and adjusting route path associations.
When multiple route paths are combined into a single planning group, the system treats them as one forecasting unit and schedules agents capable of handling the entire group rather than individual paths. The <None> option for Language and Skill Set indicates no setting exists on the interaction, not "any" setting. Agents must be able to handle all route paths within a planning group to be scheduled for any route path in that group. Route path management features include a matching agent count display, cross-business unit search capability, and filtering options to hide route paths already associated with planning groups in the current or any business unit, with the system prioritizing the current business unit's planning group in association displays.
Editing workflows are accessed through Menu > Workforce Management > Workforce Management Configuration > Planning Groups, where users select the appropriate business unit, identify the target planning group, and modify settings or route path associations through the More menu options. Route path associations can be managed through the Search and Replace Route Path dialog, which allows users to search for route paths with offered interactions from the past six weeks by selecting the appropriate queue, language, and skill set, or manually replace route paths, though manual replacement is not recommended as it may cause forecasting, scheduling, and intraday monitoring issues. Best practice recommends manually adding only newly configured route paths while using the search feature for paths with historical data.
Administrators can delete existing route path associations by navigating to the Planning Groups menu, selecting the business unit and planning group, and clicking Delete next to the target association. Route path associations can be moved between planning groups by selecting the source planning group, clicking More, choosing Move route path(s), designating a target planning group, and selecting specific route path associations to transfer. The system enforces a 1,000 route path limit per business unit and displays an error if this threshold would be exceeded during move operations. Planning groups themselves can be deleted through the same menu structure by selecting the planning group and confirming deletion, supporting workforce management configuration and optimization within Genesys Cloud's planning group framework.
