Multiple Routing Attributes

Previously, the ability to use more than one routing attribute at the same time was in controlled release in the United States and Australia. In this release, it has become generally available in the United States, Australia, and Europe.

A routing attribute lets you narrow the pool of agents assigned to the ACD skillClosed Used to automate delivery of interactions based on agent skills, abilities, and knowledge who are eligible to receive an interaction. For example, you could require that the agent has a certain license or certification. Multiple routing attributes let you further narrow the pool of eligible agents. For example, you could specify that an agent with the correct skill must also have a certain license and be able to speak a certain language to be eligible to receive the interaction. This gives you more control over which agents an interaction can route to without creating a lot of ACD skills.

To set up multiple routing attributes, you need to apply attributes to your agent user profiles. You then use Studio scripts to route interactions to agents based on the ACD skill and the chosen attributes. To avoid narrowing your agent pool so far that interactions become stuck in queue with no matching agents, it is best to use no more than five routing attributes per routing action.

You must have dynamic delivery enabled for your system to use multiple routing attributes.

CXone User Erasure

Previously, you could use the Privacy page to request the erasure of certain contact data, like phone numbers and email addresses, to meet data protection regulations like GDPR. In this release, you can use the same process to request the erasure of CXone user profiles. This enhances your ability to meet data protection requirements.

Only inactive users are available for an erasure request. Once the erasure request has been successfully executed, the user is removed from the Employees page. The anonymized user is still visible on other pages, including Teams; however, the identity of the user is not recoverable.

Improvements to Employee Sync with SCIM

SCIM is a protocol that allows you to securely create a user in CXone from a supported identity provider. With SCIM integration, you can use SCIM v2-compliant applications, such as Okta, to create, update, and deactivate CXone users. The CXone SCIM client includes improvements: 

  • You no longer need to register your application with CXone before you begin integrating. Instead, you need to create an access key for authentication. This creates a faster and easier integration experience.

  • Support has been added for these employee fields: 

    • Login Authenticator

    • Primary Role

    • Team

User Inactivity Lock

Previously, employees remained active in CXone unless you manually deactivated them. In this release, employee accounts are automatically locked when they haven't logged in for a predetermined amount of time. You can turn this feature off as needed. When a user is locked due to inactivity, their account is still active and continues to be billed normally until the account is deactivated.

You can choose the number of days of inactivity that will trigger the inactivity lock. You can do this at the tenant or user level:

  • For the tenant setting, you enable Lock Users and set the threshold for Inactive Days Before a User Can Be Locked on the Account Settings page. By default, Lock Users is enabled with a 60-day threshold.

  • For the employee setting, you enable Lock Users and set the threshold for Inactive Days Before User Can Be Locked on the Security tab of the employee profile. Employee settings override tenant settings.

When you configure a new Inactive Days Before a User Can Be Locked threshold, the setting applies retroactively. For example, if you set it to 7 days, employee profiles that have been inactive for at least seven days are immediately locked.

Automatically locking inactive users leaves fewer windows of opportunity for attackers to breach your CXone system.

This feature will be available later in the release cycle.

Ability to Unlock User Accounts

Previously, users could unlock their own accounts by clicking the Forgot your password? link on the CXone login page. You could not unlock user accounts for other users. In this release, you can unlock user accounts for them, whether their password was locked due to too many failed login attempts or their account was locked due to inactivity.

You can do this from the employee profile table or in a new Admin > Security > Locked Employees page. To unlock a user, you must click the actions icon Icon: three dots stacked vertically in the user's row and select Unlock User. To unlock a password, you must click the actions icon Icon: three dots stacked vertically in the user's row and select Unlock Password.

WFA Job Loop Detection

Digital Experience enables early workflow loop detection. This allows CXone to identify if a workflow automation (WFA) job is currently running. If a workflow is already running, it stops the same action from executing again. For example, Workflow A changes the case status to Closed for resolved interactions, but Workflow B has a Before case closed trigger that sends a satisfaction survey and changes the case status from Closed back to Resolved. This creates a loop in which both workflow automations keep running. Improving loop detection helps avoid this problem and makes WFA more efficient. Loop detection also catches exceptions where workflows intentionally execute multiple times or create a cycle of actions. These exceptions are allowed to execute.

Digital Chat Accessibility Enhancement

Enhancements have been made to the UI of the chat window to be friendlier to screen readers. This provides a more inclusive online experience and makes digital content and services more accessible to users with visual impairments. These improvements include the following updates:

  • You can use the arrow keys on a keyboard to operate the scroll bar in addition to moving your mouse.

  • Messages don't overlap with other UI elements to ensure no part of the text is cut off.

  • The scroll bar begins at the top of the window to avoid screen readers focusing on text outside the chat window.

  • Screen readers communicate when the chat window is expanded or collapsed.

  • Screen readers communicate all field options and possible selections. For example, if you want to change the selected field from a drop-down, all field options are communicated.

  • Screen readers communicate status messages and updates to your position in the queue. For example, status messages such as "No agent is available for your queue at the moment" or "One of our agents will be with you shortly" are communicated.

  • Previously, screen readers announced the chat window as "Customer chat frame." This is incorrect. In this release, screen readers should refer to the chat window as "Live Chat."

Support Section Failure for the Critical Question

You can mark a question as critical for a particular section. This fails only the section of the form to which the question belongs, not the entire form. We have added two options to mark as critical: the entire form and the section of a question.

Previously, you could mark a question as critical, which caused the entire form to fail. In this release, you can configure the failure of the entire form or a section of the form to which the question belongs.
