Hi,
Here's a white paper which has step-by-step instructions on how to generate forecast using forecast studio:
http://support.sas.com/rnd/app/forecast-server/PDFs/forecast_studio_inside.pdf
Forecast studio can run model diagnose automatically to select the best model(s) for each time series. You can always start by running the project with default settings to see which models get selected, and you will have a better sense of models after that.
Another reference paper: http://www2.sas.com/proceedings/sugi30/193-30.pdf
You can accumulate the data from daily to weekly interval to potentially reduce the variance as what you need are the weekly forecasts. Also you can include potential independent variables that were impacting the call volumes as well as events such as holidays. You can use the forecast studio event functionality to create the events to be considered in the model. hope this helps a little.
