There are no restrictions for this release. There are no new features introduced in this release of Workforce Management Configuration Utility.

Corrections and Modifications

This release includes the following corrections and modifications:


In Configuration Utility, the About window now displays the correct release number (8.5.0) after login. Previously, the About window incorrectly displayed WFM Configuration Utility 8.1.3 (but with the correct Program version: 8.5.000.00). (WFM-21860)


Data Aggregator settings that are hidden cannot be updated for Business Units or Sites, when the Configuration Utility OptionalSettings > HideDA_settings option is set to True. Previously, Data Aggregator settings could sometimes be updated, even though they were hidden. (WFM-21869)


Agents and Activity types now display correctly in Configuration Utility. Previously, in Configuration > Organization > Agent Properties the Agent could sometimes be incorrectly skilled as Secondary or Primary for an Activity, based only on the Agent's skills configuration, disregarding the Activity type directly assigned to the Agent. (WFM-21952)


Turning off the Configuration Utility's Allow synchronization security option now disables user access to the synchronization functionality, if there is at least one other user whose access is enabled by this security option. Previously, users could perform synchronization, regardless of whether access was enabled or disabled by this security option setting. (WFM-22044)

Known Issues and Recommendations

This section provides the latest information on known issues and recommendations associated with this product.


When using Oracle or DB2 Database servers, Sites cannot be deleted if they have Rotating Patterns containing Shifts and Profiles being used as Scheduled Agents. Shifts and Profiles must be deleted manually before the Site can be deleted. (WFM-22043)
Found In:  8.5.000.00 Fixed In: 

In the WFM Configuration Utility 8.5.0, when Help > About is clicked, the label incorrectly displays "WFM Configuration Utility 8.1.3" whereas, it should display "WFM Configuration Utility 8.5.0". (The program version 8.5.000.00 is correct.) This minor issue will be corrected in the next WFM 8.5 release. (WFM-21860)

Found In:  8.5.000.00 Fixed In:  8.5.001.00

WFM Configuration Utility incorrectly synchronizes Daylight Saving Time (DST) end time with the time zone application in Configuration Manager when the Do not synchronize in Daylight Saving Time check box is unchecked. The issue occurs when the LocalTimezones option time changes as expected for DST, and then the end time shifts, causing a difference of 1 hour. (ER# 317814745)

Found In:  8.1.100.07 Fixed In:
