Global Changes

CXone Becomes CXone Mpower

In this release, you will notice small updates to the Contact Center user interface related to this change, including a new logo and some slightly modified application names. The online help will also be updated to be consistent with the changing logo and product names.

    • The ability to create custom metrics, both standard and calculated, to suit the specific needs of your contact center.
    • It will also provide you the option to edit the metrics.

The Metrics will offer widgets like Gauge, Leaderboard, Metrics Review, Metrics Summary, and Metrics Interval.

  • Set performance objectives to monitor important metrics.
  • Set notification for objectives to actively keep track of progress.

ETL

The Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) application will help you to convert raw data into a structured format. Structured data helps in data analytics.

 

A data feed will be used to import data from sources and transform it into a structured format. Once data is imported, you will be able to use reporting sets to group and organize data for reporting purposes.

Improvement to Query Search

In the Digital portal in CXone, the CRM tab allows you to query cases to search for specific criteria. CRM case search will be improved to support mixing contact-based and message-based query filters at any level. Search queries for phrases will also yield more accurate matches in the search results. For example, if you enter the phrase "hello world", search results won't include instances where there are other words between the ones you enter. Currently, you can search cases by the following criteria:

  • Channel
  • Case status
  • Tags
  • Routing queue
  • Inbox assignee
  • Owner assignee
  • Date a case was created

You will also be able to search cases by the contact number, content, title, and author fields.

 

If you enter a series of numbers in the search bar without any additional terms or formatting, the CRM case search will look for your query in multiple places. For example, if you search "1234" instead of "caseId=1234", the case search will include results for values found in contact number, content, title, or author fields.

You will be able to provide raw data to Pathfinder. Pathfinder will analyze the data and provide suggestions that can be used when configuring your Autopilot virtual agent. For example, it will be able to provide a list of tasks your virtual agent can help contacts with, or intents to use for those tasks. Pathfinder will be able to use data contained in PDF, TXT, CSV, and HTML files, as well as URLs that it can read the data from.

 

To enable this feature, you will need to contact your Contact Center Account Representative. It will require implementation work by NICE.

Updates to Participant Filter

The participant filter will be redesigned to only appear as a filter option for the metrics it can be applied to. Currently, the participant filter appears as a top-level filter option for all data, whether it impacts them or not. In this release, next to relevant metrics and filters, separate options will be available to include only the agent side or only the contact side of interactions. The following filters will support participant criteria:

This update eliminates the need to apply the participant filter globally. This will provide more flexibility to decide how and where to apply participant filters for each specific filter as needed. For example, you could filter for one set of keywords said by the agent and a different set of keywords said by the contact. This update will affect filters at the workspace and widget levels as well as on the Search page.

  • When you import out-of-box categories, hover text will indicate which categories are based on terms from the company profile.
  • A visual indicator will show when a sub-folder or child category is selected from the category list. This will make it easier to identify which top-level category the node you are viewing belongs to.

You will have access to real-time data from external ACDs, ensuring that any data changes are immediately reflected in the Multi-ACD View in CXone Supervisor. The data can be filtered by State, Team, Segment state, Call direction, Segment duration, Segment state duration, and Agent state duration.

 

The Multi-ACD View will feature two main tabs: Agents and Segments. Each provides detailed information and widgets for easy filtering and sorting. Real-time voice and screen monitoring will be supported in the Multi-ACD View.

Custom Vocabulary Tuning for CXone Transcription

You will be able to tune the vocabulary of the language model in CXone Transcription to better meet your organization's needs. The custom vocabulary tuning you configure will apply to continuous transcription performed by CXone Transcription in Copilot for Agents, Enlighten Copilot for Supervisors, CXone Agent for Salesforce, and AutoSummary. Your vocabulary tuning can include:

  • Adding terminology, product names, and other words and phrases unique to your organization. You will be able to define the pronunciation of these terms so that CXone Transcription can recognize them.
  • Boosting or suppressing words in the default lexicon. Boosting increases the likelihood of the word being used in a transcript. Suppressing a word decreases the chances of it being used. This is helpful in cases where words sound similar and you want to influence the transcription engine to use one word versus another.
  • Defining words or phrases in the final transcript results that you want to replace with other words or phrases. For example, if a certain word is sometimes mistranscribed, you can define a find-and-replace option to replace the wrong transcription result with the correct one.

Custom vocabulary tuning will only be available for North American and International English in this release.

 

The Custom Vocabulary application will surface in the Interaction Analytics application. However, it will not require a license for Interaction Analytics. The application will only be visible to Interaction Analytics users if your organization has a CXone Transcription license. CXone Transcription is the Contact Center transcription service available in Continuous Stream Transcription.

CXone Transcription Profile Configuration Option Removed

An option will be removed from the CXone Transcription configuration page in Transcription Hub. CXone Transcription is a native transcription service for Continuous Stream Transcription. The Enable Automatic Punctuation option will no longer be available when you add a profile for CXone Transcription. This option allows you to choose whether CXone Transcription automatically formats transcribed text with punctuation, capitalization, and inverse text normalization (ITN). ITN replaces certain text representations with other forms to improve readability, such as replacing "twelve thirty pm" with 12:30 PM. In this release,, automatic punctuation will always enabled, so the UI control for it will no longer be needed.

Voice Access

Voice Attestation Implementation

All CXone-owned phone numbers will be added to the attestation database. They will also be able to receive A-level attestation. This means an indication will be sent to the recipient of the call that the caller is both authenticated and authorized to use the calling number. This will improve the answer rate of outbound call recipients.

 

This option is granted through STIR/SHAKEN, which CXone will support in this release. This is an FCC-required service that helps identify who's calling. It will need to be enabled for non-CXone numbers if you want this A-level attestation for your outbound calls. If it's not enabled, the numbers will receive B-level attestation by the service provider. This will indicate to the recipient of the call that the caller is authenticated, but won't verify that the caller is authorized to use the number.
