ACD

ACD Routing

Multiple Routing Attributes

Currently, the ability to use more than one routing attribute at the same time is in controlled release in the United States and Australia. In this release, it will become generally available in the United States, Australia, and Europe.

 

routing attribute lets you narrow the pool of agents assigned to the ACD skill who are eligible to receive an interaction. For example, you could require that the agent has a certain license or certification. Multiple routing attributes will let you further narrow the pool of eligible agents. For example, you could specify that an agent with the correct skill must also have a certain license and be able to speak a certain language to be eligible to receive the interaction. This will give you more control over which agents an interaction can route to without creating a lot of ACD skills, reducing administration tasks and simplifying maintenance.

 

To set up multiple routing attributes, you will need to apply attributes to your agent user profiles. You will then use Studio scripts to route interactions to agents based on the ACD skill and the chosen attributes. To avoid narrowing your agent pool so far that interactions become stuck in queue with no matching agents, it will be best to use no more than five routing attributes per routing action.

 

You will need to have dynamic delivery enabled for your system to use multiple routing attributes.

Cxone Attendant

Display Voicemail Message Timestamp in User Time Zone

Currently, voicemail message timestamps in CXone Attendant display in the business unit time zone with no option to adjust the setting to reflect the user's local time zone.

 

In this release, you will be able to adjust the voicemail message timestamps so that each user sees them in the time zone configured for their CXone user profile. This will make it easier for you and your agents to find voicemails according to the time they were received.

 

To make this change, you must have administrator permissions in CXone Attendant.
