Agent Desktop (V.9)

Information.png Note: Not all changes listed below may pertain to your deployment.

June 6, 2019 (9.0.000.37)

What's New

Multiple interactions

  • You can now choose to have new interactions open in the background when an agent is already actively handling an interaction. For agents who have the ability to handle multiple simultaneous interactions, this new capability reduces disruptions when a new interaction is directed to them.

WebRTC Softphones

  • Disaster Recovery is now supported for WebRTC Softphones. Agent Desktop now releases stuck calls during a disaster recovery scenario.

Outbound campaign

  • To prevent abandoned calls, agents who are reserved to receive an outbound campaign record cannot log off until they have handled the record.

Resolved Issues

  • Agent Desktop has been improved so that when it is in a tab in the background on some browsers, the Background Tabs Throttling feature does not cause background tasks such as Softphone Connector, to timeout due to inactivity on the Agent Desktop tab. (GAPI-13750)
  • Agent Desktop no longer displays disconnection notices to agents when a channel briefly goes out of service and is immediately restored. Disconnection notices are now sent only when channels remain out of service after a disconnection. (GAPI-13659)
  • Agent Desktop handling of voice operation failures has been improved by using the Warning level instead of the Error level to avoid notifications being displayed to agents. (GAPI-13515)
  • Agents can now delete parties from a conference when they perform a single-step conference through an IVR or other routing point. (GAPI-13424)

May 23, 2019 (9.0.000.34)

What's New

Email enhancements

  • Agents may attach file(s) up to a maximum size of 8MB to an external email interaction.
  • Interim email reply allows agents to reply to an inbound email multiple times. Agents can choose between Send and Interim Send when replying to an inbound email.

Outbound Campaign enhancement

  • Active Switching Matrix (ASM) and Assured Connect enable agents for the Predictive and Progressive mode in your Outbound campaign to reserve an agent before the connection with the contact is established. This feature enables agents to connect to the contacts instantly.

Genesys Altocloud Agent UI support

  • Genesys Altocloud is an AI-powered Journey Optimization solution for real-time engagements of visitors browsing websites, by triggering a WebChat widget to engage visitor at the right moment. The Genesys Altocloud Agent UI Journey tab enables agents to access the following Altocloud features:
    • Journey content for a specific visit session
    • Visitor details and activity status
    • Visit details
    • Real-time customer journey chart
    • Real-time view of matched segments
    • Real-time view of outcome scores

Resolved Issues

  • Agent Desktop can now handle large emails (up to 2 MB) without causing the application to freeze for several seconds. (GAPI-13413)

May 13, 2019 (9.0.000.33)

What's New

Resolved Issues

  • A third-party component is updated to improve security within the session-handling mechanism. (GAPI-11984)
  • Agents are no longer logged out of the voice channel in some cases involving multiple browsing sessions. (GAPI-13254)

May 2, 2019 (9.0.000.32)

What's New

Resolved Issues

  • Configured Bell sounds for an active chat are no longer played when a previous chat is selected in a History view. (GAPI-13032)
  • For personal favorites, a scrollbar is now available for the drop-down list of categories. Previously, a long list was truncated, and the only way to see hidden items was to type characters to filter the search results. (GAPI-12948)

April 18, 2019 (9.0.000.31)

What's New

Automatic failover

  • To maintain business continuity, the application now automatically connects to a backup environment when the connection to the primary environment is lost.

Agent state supervision

  • Supervisors can view and update the status of their agents in real time. Supervisors can change an agent's readiness state and, if necessary, log off an agent from all media channels. These capabilities allow supervisors to prevent interactions from being routed to agents who have left the workstation without properly exiting the application or changing their readiness state.

Resolved Issues

  • Agents can now search for internal targets in Team Communicator using the target's DN. (GAPI-2128)
  • Agent Desktop no longer displays the content of two email interactions in the same interaction view (GAPI-12298)
  • You can now search for alternate names for Corporate Favorites in Team Communicator when the alternate name is displayed in parentheses. Previously, the search worked only when there was a space between the parentheses and the alternate name. (GAPI-12423)
  • If the application disconnects from the server, agents are automatically logged out after 30 minutes if the application does not reconnect. (GAPI-12720)

April 4, 2019 (9.0.000.30)

What's New

Feedback

  • To help us serve you better, it is now possible for users to provide feedback when they observe minor issue while using the application. In the event of a major issue, such as total application or browser failure, the user is provided with the opportunity to submit feedback the next time they log in.

My Agents Workbin and Interaction Queue

SMS interactions

WhatsApp

Resolved Issues

  • Spaces are now supported for the names of custom attributes based on an enum for advanced searches in the My History, Contact History, and Interaction Search views. (GAPI-12453)
  • Corporate Favorites and search results in Team Communicator can now include routing points with names that contain non-numeric characters. (GAPI-12297)
  • The tooltip for the 'End Coaching' button for a current call or chat has been corrected from 'End Monitoring' to 'End Coaching'. (GAPI-12319)

March 14, 2019 (9.0.000.26)

What's New

Focus-time reporting support

  • For scenarios where an agent is handling several simultaneous interactions on different channels, Agent Desktop now tracks the duration for which each interaction is actively being worked on (in focus) to better support accurate reporting of the agent’s time spent per interaction.

Support for Genesys Co-browse

  • Agents can now assist contacts by jointly navigating web pages in a synchronized browsing session with Genesys Co-browse.
  • Contacts can grant agents control of the browsing session using the "write mode".
  • For privacy and security, the service can be configured to mask sensitive data from the agent's view and to prevent actions on specified controls.

Resolved Issues

  • Agents can now correctly reply to email interactions. Previously, the reply operation sometimes failed due to an issue between internal email system configurations and Agent Desktop. (GAPI-11878)
  • Team Leads can now start Agent Desktop supervision in coaching mode in any deployment environment. Previously, in certain environments, Agent Desktop supervision started in silent monitoring mode instead. (GAPI-11871)
  • Team Communicator now correctly displays the state of an agent who is in 'After Call Work' state. Previously, the agent's state was shown as 'Not Ready'. (GAPI-11820)
  • Transfer of email, chat, and other eServices interactions to an Interaction Queue is now working correctly. Previously, attempting to transfer any eServices interactions to an Interaction Queue resulted in an error. (GAPI-11678)
  • You can now restrict the file type of email attachments. (GAPI-10820)

February 28, 2019 (9.0.000.25)

What's New

Interaction enhancements

  • Interaction history, workbin, and interaction queue enhancements:
    • Agents can open 'in-progress' emails and workitems. This capability allows agents to respond in real-time to queued and outstanding customer inquiries.
    • Agents can mark as Done interactions that do not require a response.

Resolved Issues

  • The chat toolbar now correctly blinks when a new chat message is added to the transcript of a collapsed or non-active chat interaction. Blinking stops if the agent passes the mouse pointer over the collapsed or non-active interaction. (GAPI-10856)
  • If the Voice server goes down during an agent session, the Voice channel status is, correctly, out of service, even after a refresh. Previously in this scenario, refreshing the browser displayed the voice channel in the state it was in before the server went down, even if it was still out of service. (GAPI-10812)
  • Team Communicator now returns complete and consistent results when an agent searches for Agent Groups. (GAPI-3830)
  • Internal contacts that are designated as Corporate Favorites now correctly display as Corporate Favorites in Team Communicator. (GAPI-3614)
  • Agents can now complete voice conferences when the agent is allowed to make two-step conferences, but not one-step conferences. (GAPI-11391)
  • Session authentication now provides protection against login conflicts with an additional verification to ensure users belong to the correct tenant. (GAPI-11593)

  • The Twitter channel enables agents to engage in private chat sessions with Twitter Direct Message users and public sessions with Twitter users. This enables you to monitor and respond to public Tweets and replies to your organization's Twitter page in a timely manner.
