Delete work queues
If specific work queues are no longer required, you can delete them.
Before you begin
If the goal is to manage user display, do the following instead of deleting the work queue Entity that represents demand in WFM. Queues help predict workload by multiplying the volume of customer interactions by their expected handling time.:
-
Rename the work queue.
-
Create a suborganization called Old Queue.
-
Verify that the Old Queue organization is only visible to users with appropriate access rights. It should not be visible to most users.
-
Move the work queue to the Old Queue organization.
Changing the work queue from one organization to a different one does not delete the historical data. The data is just moved to the new organization.
If you still want to permanently delete the work queue, follow the steps under Procedure.
