What's New

Pending Agent State

  • The state timer no longer starts immediately if an agent sets his or her status to Not Ready, Not Ready Reason, or any other state while he or she is still handling an interaction. The timer for that state does not start until the call is released, the chat is marked as Done, or the email is sent or put into a workbin.

Resolved Issues

  • Agents can now open and view embedded images as attachments in inbound email interactions. Previously, embedded images were not accessible to agents. (HTCC-29015)

  • Agent Desktop now verifies that URLs sent to contacts using the Chat Push URL feature are validated to prevent XSS issues. (HTCC-28830)
  • If Microsoft Internet Explorer 11 becomes unresponsive while an agent is handling a voice interaction, ask Genesys to disable speaker and microphone volume control. (HTCC-28659)
  • In Genesys Softphone environments that use dynamic sign-on, Agent Desktop now returns to the login page if the application cannot connect to Genesys Softphone or if it becomes stuck. (HTCC-28645)
  • Supervisors can now monitor an agent by selecting an agent from Team Communicator Favorites, even if the favorites are sorted by category. Previously, the supervisor had to refresh the browser to have this feature available. (HTCC-28623)

  • Agent Desktop no longer loses calls that are put on hold while an agent makes a consultation call. Previously, when an agent clicked Resume after ending a consultation call, Agent Desktop sometimes lost the call and the agent had to retrieve the call through their hard phone. (HTCC-28827)

January 16, 2018 (8.5.201.99 UPDATE)

What's New

Resolved Issues

  • Refreshing the Agent Desktop browser page during login can result in the connection to Screen Recording Client not being established. When the connection issue is detected, agents are requested to provide their password again to re-establish the connection. Previously, Agent Desktop did not request agents to re-enter their password and the connection was not re-established. (HTCC-28935)

November 13, 2017 (8.5.201.99)

What's New

In-line forwarding

  • In-line forwarding from History: Agents can now forward from the History view, inbound and outgoing email interactions that are in the 'Done' state.
  • In-line email forwarding: This feature allows agents to forward an email as part of the body of an email instead of as an attachment. This enables agents to add comments and attachments before sending the forwarded email.

Browser support

  • Microsoft Edge on Windows 10 operating system.

Resolved Issues

  • Agent Desktop now correctly populates the From field of reply email interactions. Previously, the From field sometimes used the default address. (HTCC-27300)

October 16, 2017 (8.5.201.95)

What's New

Resolved Issues

  • The interaction duration timer that is displayed in the toolbar of chat interactions now starts when the interaction is accepted by an agent. Previously, the timer started when the interaction entered the queue. (HTCC-27707)

Known Issues

  • Agent Desktop can become stuck for consulted agents if the consulting agent marks the chat as Done while the consultation chat is still active. (HTCC-30244)
    Workarounds
    The consulted agent should refresh their browser to make the Mark Done button become available to close the consultation chat.
    To prevent this scenario, the consulting agent should end the consultation chat before ending the chat with the contact.

Limitations

  • Limitation: If you are using Genesys Softphone in Connector mode, Genesys recommends that you do not assign the same default Place to more than one agent. If you do, and the second agent logs in during the session of the first agent, the first agent is disconnected from the audio and the second agent will not be aware that their login on the voice channel has failed. If you must make this default Place assignment, ensure that the two agents do not log in during the same period.
  • Recommendation: For Internet Explorer 10 and 11 with protected mode enabled, Internet Explorer always opens the target of the link in a new window or tab when you click a hyperlink in attached data. To work around this limitation, add the Agent Desktop host and the linked website to the list of trusted sites. (HTCC-26857)
  • Limitation: To use Microsoft Edge for Windows 10 with Genesys Softphone Dynamic Configuration Connector and Genesys Interaction Recording (GIR) Screen Recorder, you must disable loopback for Edge. You can accomplish this by executing the following command to disable loopback for Edge (this requires admin rights): CheckNetIsolation LoopbackExempt -a -n="Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe"
  • Limitation: The following characters are not supported for the 'id' of Corporate Favorites :?|{}[]()"\,
  • Limitation: If a user closes the browser or if the browser crashes with a released voice interaction still open, it will remain in the “In Progress” state. It is then not possible to apply “Done” to those voice interactions in the History view. (HTCC-17820)
