Add parameters to be defined in the formula to calculate agent count per hour in a day.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Workforce Optimization for HR** > **Demand Forecast** > **Formula Parameters**.

2.  In the **Name** field, enter a name for the parameter.

3.  Do one of the following:

    -   If you need to add a value to be calculated for the formula, in the **Value** field, enter a value.
    -   If you want to use the performance analytics score card API or a custom API, select **Advanced**, and add a script.
    The Average Case Work Time and Average Chat Work Time forecast parameters provided by default are examples of how you can use scripts to add the parameters.
