ACD

Call Abandonment Rate Calculation Change
 
The Contact Center call abandonment rate measurement has changed to meet recent clarifications of TCPA regulations. Handled calls only include live calls that were delivered to an agent. Calls that agents dismissed as answering machines no longer count. With this release, the abandonment rate calculation is the Total Number of Abandon Calls divided by the Total Number of Live Calls (represented by Handled Calls minus Agent-Identified Answer Machine Calls plus Abandoned Calls).

Feedback Management

Partial Response Processing
 
You can submit responses from incomplete surveys for processing after a timeout period has passed. This enables you to include valuable responses in your collected data that wouldn't have been processed or appeared in reports otherwise. It differs from the partial response reporting feature because the application processes the responses as if they came from completed surveys. Processing includes:
  • Translation, if you purchased that feature
  • Automated text analytics, if you purchased that feature
  • Alerts
  • Reporting
Partial response processing is available for email, IVR, SMS conversational, SMS to Web, and WhatsApp to Web. It isn't available for internet pop-up, slider, or link. IVR partial responses process immediately after the call without waiting for a timeout period.

Improved Flexibility in Hierarchy Functionality
 
Defining data access to multiple hierarchies and hierarchy levels is now more flexible. Previously, you defined hierarchy access conditions with the "AND" operator. For example, you could give a supervisor access to records that were assigned to both Team 1 AND Region A.​​ In this release, you have the option to use an "OR" operator instead. For example: ​​

Workforce Management (CXone)

Shrinkage by Time in Forecasting
 
You can select the time of the day you want to apply shrinkage. This allows you to set different levels within the same day.
 
This feature is available in the staffing parameters in the Generate Forecast and Forecasting Profile pages.
Customer Request X UI Change ✓ Future Enablement X
Net Staffing Improved Accuracy
 
Net staffing has improved accuracy by considering the multiskilled agent's contribution. Net staffing shows agents' partial allocation instead of only the full-time equivalent.
 
For example, you scheduled an agent who has two skills. When net staffing displays data for one of those skills, it shows 0.5 for that agent instead of 1.
 
In addition, net staffing gathers more specific data from forecasting.
 
This gives you more accurate data in WFM, such as in the Schedule Manager, Intraday, and Approval Rules pages.

Approve Requests Automatically Based on Requirements
 
You can minimize understaffing that comes with approving time-off requests.
 
When creating an approval rule, you now have an additional condition called Net Staffing. In this condition, you are able to define net staffing requirements. The rule can handle requests based on those staffing requirements.
 
This feature is only available with the WFM Advanced license.

Consistent Breaks and Lunches
 
You can now define a consistent time for the agents' breaks and lunches during the week.
Customer Request X UI Change ✓ Future Enablement X
Approval Rules Enhancements
 
Auto-approval rules automatically accept or deny agents' time-off requests. When creating the rules, you define conditions that trigger an automated response.
 
With this release, the scheduling unit time-off balance condition is optional.
 
With this enhancement, you have:
  • More flexibility when you define the rules.
  • The option to create a rule that can auto approve requests based on the submission time.

Features to be Released at a Later Date

Each item includes a description of the feature as it was previously published. Please note that the feature should be toggled on at the time of deployment.

Agent for Salesforce

Bi-directional Presence Sync
 
Agent status changes in either Workforce Management (WFM) or Salesforce will affect both platforms. Currently, presence sync only allows Salesforce status changes to impact WFM statuses. Soon, WFM statuses will also change Salesforce statuses.

Digital First Omnichannel

DFO Chat Enhancements

Business Data Information in Interaction Metadata
 
There will be a new version of interaction metadata - version 4. The interaction metadata will include the business data field information such as business data name and business data value.

Customer Request X UI Change ✓ Availability On toggle

Features to be Released at a Later Date

  • Display Name - A new field, Display Name, was added to employee accounts. The field auto-populates from the First Name, Middle Name, and Last Name fields. You can edit the display name as necessary. This field allows users to see the display name of employees from other teams. Unless the user has the View Employee permission, they can only see the employee's display name. This feature helps to keep employee information safe while allowing supervisors to access the information that they need.
  • Type - A new drop-down field, Type, was added to employee accounts. You can use this field to further define an employee outside of the Role that they're assigned to. Type is more descriptive than Role and isn't tied to permissions. So, this drop-down field allows you to easily categorize employees without having to give them permissions that are tied to a role. You can apply existing types to employees from the drop-down menu or create new types as needed. This new field makes reporting easier because you can categorize employees outside of the role that they're assigned to, and you can build reports for those specific types.

Agent for Salesforce

The following features are included in version 20.0 and is expected to be released in April 2022.
Agent Login Options Enabled by Permissions
 
When agents log in, they must choose one of these login options: Set Phone Number, Set Station ID, or Integrated Softphone. With the 20.0 update, these options only display if the correlating permissions are enabled in the agent's role. This is specifically for the Agent for Salesforce Lightning Experience. The following lists the agent leg option and the permission that enables it to be visible:
  • Set Phone Number
    • This enables agents to manually enter a telephone number when they log in to MAX. The phone number is then linked to the integrated MAX softphone. This permission works together with the Integrated Softphone permission. If Agent for Salesforce is used, the permission must be enabled for your agents to see the Set Phone Number login option in their agent interface.
  • Set Station ID
    • This enables agents to manually enter a station ID when they log in. The station is then linked to the integrated MAX softphone. This permission works together with the Integrated Softphone permission. If Agent for Salesforce is used, the permission must be enabled for your agents to see the Set Station ID login option in their agent interface.
  • Integrated Softphone
    • This enables the integrated softphone in MAX. To use this feature, agents must also have the Set Station ID permission, the Set Phone Number permission, or both.

  • Group chat email invitation - Chat participants can invite more people into a live or messaging conversation using an email channel. This expands on the offering of group chat.
