With this button, you will be able to use your company's custom domain name to see your authentication pages. Depending on your tenant configuration, you will be able to see the tenant banner, marketing area, and single sign-on (SSO) profiles.
If the Tenant ID is received in the URL used for your Contact Center system, the authentication page will not show the Use Company Domain button.
Customer Request X UI Change ✓ Availability On deploy

Support Added for Use of Access Keys through Global Authentication/Token Endpoint

You will be able to authenticate your users with access keys through the Contact Center global authentication/token endpoint. To do so, you will have to register for this method in the DEVone Developer Community. Contact Center supports a single API endpoint to retrieve access tokens. You can discover the endpoint for access keys with OpenID Connect discovery.

Internationalization and Localization for Global Authentication

Contact Center will offer global authentication features in the user's native browser language. The following languages will be supported:
  • Spanish
  • German
  • Brazilian Portuguese
  • Canadian French
  • Japanese
Customer Request X UI Change ✓ Availability On deploy

Support Added for Claim-Based OpenID Connect Linking of New Users

Some ID providers require a unique subject identifier for each Contact Center application. This has made it impossible to pre-configure federated identity for these users in Contact Center. Instead, the user had to log in using a different method, and then manually link their OpenID Connect identity to their user account.
With this release, Contact Center will be able to use a different claim value, like an email address, to establish the user's identity at their first login only. Contact Center then automatically switches to the unique OpenID Connect subject identifier. This update will make it easier to set up a user's federated identity using the unique, stable OpenID identifier.

ACD

Assigned Inactive State for User Skill Assignment Added to ACD Bulk Upload Template

Currently, in the user interface, you can set user skill assignments to one of the following three states:
Assigned active—the skill is assigned to the user, and Contact Center can route contacts to them based on that skill.
Assigned inactive—the skill is assigned to the user, but Contact Center cannot route contacts to them based on that skill.
Unassigned—the skill is not assigned to the user.
In the ACD bulk upload templates, only the assigned active and unassigned states are supported. Starting with the Summer 2022 release, you will be able to set user skill assignments to assigned inactive with the bulk upload templates. This update will more closely align the bulk upload templates to the user interface, which will allow for a more seamless user experience.
Customer Request ✓ UI Change ✓ Availability On deploy

Help Text Added to Filled ACD Bulk Upload Templates

You can download blank ACD bulk upload templates or filled templates in Contact Center. Filled templates come with all your current data in Contact Center already included. Using a filled template, you can edit existing information in Contact Center, add more information as needed, or both. Then you can upload all your changes and additions into Contact Center. Currently, only the blank template comes with help text to explain each column. This update will add the help text to the filled templates. The help text will help you understand the purpose and use of each column in the template.

Obsolete Fields Removed from Contact Center

The Other Abandons field will be removed from the Details tab on the ACD Skills record.
The Start day of week field will be removed from the Details tab on the Business Units record.

Removed Ability for Users to Edit their Own Visibility and Role

Currently, users can edit their own visibility and secondary roles if they have the edit employee permission. They cannot edit their primary role. Starting with the Summer 2022 release, users will no longer be able to edit their visibility and roles. They will still be able to view them in their employee profile. This will apply to all users.

Drag and Drop Capability Added in Hierarchies

Currently, to move a node to a different part of the hierarchy, you have to delete that node and its children and recreate them under a different parent. This update will allow you to drag and drop entire branches to different parts of the hierarchy. When you drag and drop a node, each of its children will move with it. You will no longer need to delete and recreate nodes to move them. This update will save you time when editing hierarchies.
Customer Request ✓ UI Change ✓ Availability On toggle

Meaning of Colors Changed in Hierarchies

The meaning of the colors used in hierarchies will be updated. Currently, the colors represent the level on the hierarchy. With the Summer 2022 release, this will change, and the colors will represent the type of node in the hierarchy. There are three types of nodes in your hierarchy chart: organizational units, teams, and scheduling units. Each type of node will have a different color associated with it. Having a visual cue for each type of node will help you navigate and edit a hierarchy more quickly.

Display Dynamic Data When Accepting a Call

You will be able to use Studio scripting to display custom data about a contact in the Agent for Salesforce interface. The custom data will appear when an agent accepts a call.

Ring Tone for Idle Agents

Currently, if agents using an Integrated Softphone session are in an idle state for over two hours they must log out and then log back in. Otherwise, they won't hear a ring tone to signal incoming call. With version 21.0, a ring tone will sound regardless of the duration of an idle state.

Feedback Management

Response Limits

You will have the option to specify a monthly survey response limit.

Currently, Feedback Management users are not able to delete old survey records. With this release, companies will be able to delete:

Once only modern themes are supported, any classic theme defects will no longer be fixed. You can upgrade to modern themes easily. Just navigate to the new Modern Style page and make your selections.

IEX WFM Integrated

User Deletion for GDPR Compliance

Currently, when you deactivate a Contact Center user account, the user moves to an inactive MU in IEX and their data still exists. A new setting will allow you to permanently remove their data from IEX. This helps your organization comply with GDPR regulations in Europe. After the Contact Center user is deactivated, the IEX account will be marked for removal, and after 7 days, deleted from IEX. This is a tenant-level setting, so be aware of how this might affect non-European users or seasonal employees. If GDPR is a requirement for your organization, contact your Contact Center Account Representative.

Auto-Response Evaluations

Up until now, when creating a form, Quality Managers could configure auto-response rules for questions by setting categories and sentiments. With this release, Quality Managers will be able to configure auto-response rules for questions by setting agent behaviors.
Based on the selected agent behaviors, the QMapplication will automatically respond to evaluation form questions matching the behavior associated with the interaction. This will help the evaluators to complete evaluations faster, because many of the questions in the form will already have answers filled in for them. Evaluators will be able to review the responses and change them if needed.
This feature will be a part of the QMPremium license.

Long-Running Digital Scripts

Digital scripts will be able to run as long as needed to allow a contact's interaction to complete. Digital contacts routed through Studio will not be restricted by a 24-hour time-to-live (TTL) limitation. This is useful because some digital interactions can stretch out over many days, as the contact and the agent wait for the other to respond to the most recent message. Having the script wait for the customer's response allows for a more coherent customer experience.
