Capability ledger

Budgeted, planned, actual, volume, headcount, and variance views support staffing plans.
Scheduling and optimization
Forecasts feed Scheduler and can generate open shifts against jobs, rules, skills, and certification needs.
Time and attendance

Roles, permissions, and audit
Locations, jobs, and planning actions are constrained by access rights and employee groups.

AI and automation
Forecasting derives patterns from historical drivers; this is evidence of automation, not a quality rating.
Packaging notes
- The public documentation spans legacy-named Workforce Dimensions/Forecast Manager and current Pro WFM; buyers should validate the exact tenant generation and licensed modules.
Geography notes
- Forecasting and scheduling are globally configurable, but labor-law rule packs and regional availability need direct validation.
