Global Changes

Location Verification on Login

Previously, a user could log in from any location with the correct credentials. In this release, you can configure allowed locations and assign them to users from the login authenticator profile. This setting requires that the user has the correct credentials and location to be able to log in to CXone. If the user's credentials or location are incorrect, the login attempt fails with an error message.

To enable this feature, you must configure allowed locations on a new Location Definitions page in the Admin application. You do so by specifying IP address lists, ranges, and subnets. The locations appear on the login authenticator profile in a new Location drop-down field. From the drop-down, you can choose one location where the assigned agents must log in from.

Configuring a location check strengthens your system security.

What's New in the Online Help

File Path Changes

The following sections or pages have experienced a URL change. If you have links or bookmarks to these areas, you will need to update them:

Permanent Link Button

Each page in the online help now includes a Permanent Link button in the toolbar on the top right corner. When you click Permanent Link, a box with a link to the current page appears. This link will always point to the same content, even if the path to the page changes later. This serves as an alternative to copying the link from the browser address bar, which gives you a link that will break if the page name or path changes in the future.

Using permanent links to create bookmarks or links to CXone online help pages can help you avoid 404 errors in future publications of the CXone online help.

Reorganization of CXone Agent and CXone Agent Integrated CRM Integration Pages

The CRM integration pages for CXone Agent and CXone Agent Integrated have been reorganized. Previously, they were organized by task. Now, they are organized by CRM. Each section lists all the steps to integrate that CRM with CXone Agent or CXone Agent Integrated.

CRM Integration Pages for CXone Agent for Microsoft Teams

Instructions for integrating your CRM are now available in the CXone Agent for Microsoft Teams section of the online help. Previously, they were only available in the CXone Agent, CXone Agent Embedded, and CXone Agent Integrated sections.

Reorganization of CXone Agent Embedded Installation and CRM Integration Pages

The installation and CRM integration pages for CXone Agent Embedded have been combined into one streamlined set up CXone Agent Embedded section, organized by CRM. Each section lists all the steps to install CXone Agent Embedded in that CRM and integrate the CRM with CXone Agent Embedded.

  • Extra steps to connect to a Sales or Support team.

  • Overhead costs, such as service number fees and mobile surcharges.

Browser Inactivity Timeout Setting

Previously, your system browser inactivity timeout setting could only be changed by NICE. This setting ends an agent's session in their CXone agent application when they've been inactive for a certain amount of time. In this release, you can change this setting in the business unit profile using two new fields:

  • Logout Agent with Browser Inactivity: Enables the browser inactivity timeout feature.

  • Browser Inactivity Timeout: Sets the timeout threshold. You enter the number of seconds an agent can be inactive before CXone ends their session. The minimum setting is 150 seconds, and the maximum is 7200 seconds. Numbers outside this range produce an error and you won't be able to save your business unit profile.

CXone Routing

Channel Lock Setting for Users and Teams

Previously, agents configured in the Omnichannel Delivery Mode were always subject to an AND type of configuration. For example, an agent configured with a Total Contact Count of 3 could receive one voice and two chat interactions at the same time. This often led to overworked agents.

In this release, a new Channel Lock setting breaks the AND methodology by temporarily locking an agent to the channel they're currently handling. If the agent has a Total Contact Count of 3, they can now treat these channels with more independence. The agent can now receive one voice OR two chat interactions, but not both at the same time. When the agent's interactions have ended, the lock ends. The agent can then receive interactions from any configured channel.

This feature allows your agents to handle time-sensitive interactions like chats and phone calls without becoming overworked.

To use this feature, you must have dynamic delivery enabled for your environment. The team or user profile you're configuring must have Omnichannel set as the Delivery Mode. User settings override team settings.

Script Version Control with Promotion Through Development Stages

CXone Studio now has a version control system that allows you to move a script through various stages of development. This allows you to track a script's progress through the development life cycle. By default, there are four stages available: development, testing, staging, and production. Users with administrative permissions can configure which of the stages are available for use in your CXone system. CXone Studio users can promote a script from one stage to the next.

The version control system uses RBAC. This means you can grant access to scripts based on user role according to the stage the script is in. For example, you can allow all Studio users access to development scripts but limit working with production scripts to managers only.

This feature will be available later in the release cycle.

Changes are automatically stored after each script change. If a script closes with unsaved changes, you're prompted to load the version of the script with the changes the next time you open that script.

Customize KB Answers Based on Article Privacy

Previously,Copilot for Agents automatically used both private and public CXone Expert articles to generate KB answers. In this release, you can:

  • Separate private content from public content. This presents text responses from private CXone Expert articles in a separate section of the KB answer card. You can configure the private section's title and tooltip to alert agents that the information is for internal use only. You can also hide the Insert icon: a document with a plus sign. and Send Article icon: a paper airplane. options for private text content, links, and images.

  • Keep private and public content combined. This presents a single KB answer text response from a mix of public and private CXone Expert articles.

  • Tell Copilot for Agents to only use public articles to generate KB answers.

  • Tell Copilot for Agents to only use private articles to generate KB answers.

This allows you to customize the KB answer experience based on article privacy.
