Fields

Field Details
CapacityPercentage
Type
percent
Properties
Create, Filter, Nillable, Sort, Update
Description
The percentage of an agent’s capacity for work items that’s consumed by a specific type of work item from this service channel.

For example, you might give phone calls a capacity percentage of 100. If an agent receives a phone call, the agent won’t receive new work items until the call ends, because at that point the agent’s capacity will have reached 100%.

This field is available in API version 32.0 and earlier. For later API versions, you can set the capacity percentage of work items on the QueueRoutingConfig object.

CapacityWeight
Type
double
Properties
Create, Filter, Nillable, Sort, Update
Description
The amount of an agent’s capacity for work items that’s consumed by a work item from this service channel.

For example, if an agent has a capacity of 6, and cases are assigned a capacity weight of 2, an agent can be assigned up to 3 cases before the agent is at capacity and can’t receive new work items.

This field is available in API version 32.0 and earlier. For later API versions, you can set the capacity weight of work items on the QueueRoutingConfig object.

DeveloperName
Type
string
Properties
Create, Filter, Group, Sort, Update
Description
The unique name of the object in the API. This name can contain only underscores and alphanumeric characters, and must be unique in your organization. It must begin with a letter, not include spaces, not end with an underscore, and not contain two consecutive underscores. In managed packages, this field prevents naming conflicts on package installations. With this field, a developer can change the object’s name in a managed package and the changes are reflected in a subscriber’s organization.

When creating large sets of data, always specify a unique DeveloperName for each record. If no DeveloperName is specified, performance may slow while Salesforce generates one for each record.
