Summary of new features/enhancements
New Feature Description | Area/User Impacted | Project Reference | Support Ticket Reference |
|---|---|---|---|
We've made several improvements to the AI features and usability of the system:
Summary & Letter Assistant Improvements:
These updates enhance usability, AI interactions, and configuration flexibility. Don’t forget to check the online help for more details! | Agent | A11-1951 | |
Added ability to change the input in the text area on the AI Assistant dialog and select Modify to send new data to AI. | Agent | A11-2005 | |
Provide ability to view inbound email (case text entry) in a pop-out window | Agent | A11-1989 | |
Added the ability to provide an Agent S3 path as the file name while scheduling reports. (Note that this will overwrite an existing file that already exists at that same path.) | Agent | A11-2011 | |
Enhanced the AI integration an allow administrators to validate and preview AI metadata. | Admin | A11-2063 | |
Enhanced Agent to prevent SSO users from logging into non-SSO site. We are now showing an error message when on an SSO enabled site the user tries to navigate directly to the Agent login page. | Admin | A11-2113 | |
Adding additional logging to PCEmail when an email is moved to quarantine. | Admin | A11-2125 | |
Enhanced the Social Care integration, including giving Social Care the ability to assign a queue to a case in Agent on message updates | Integrations | A11-2126 | |
Enhanced the Frequency report so that if the Threshold value is set to 0, we will still respect the filter criteria and only show the code if it meets the filter criteria. | Reports & Utilities | A11-2132 | |
Enhancements to the Case Purge Utility:
| Reports & Utilities | A11-2146 | |
Added support for retrieving migration codes from Knowledge for branched topics when selecting Update Case. | Agent | A11-2176 | 353393 |
Made multiple updates to the Message Center Widget, including hovering over the subject field to see the full message and added options to delete multiple messages at once. | Agent | A11-244 | 143262 |
Improved the code search functionality in Case Entry, where entering multiple search terms narrows down the results rather than expanding the list. Now, words in any order can be used in the search without requiring exact matches or a specific order in the description, making it easier to find relevant codes, especially for categories like Product and Reason. This enhancement also allows exclusion of specific terms and improves search efficiency. Please note that this is an optional enhancement that needs to be turned on. | Agent | A11-515 | |
Added support for managing multiple Calendars in Agent (BUSINESS HOURS) under Administration → System Setup → Report Configuration → Calendars. This new page allows administrators to create and manage multiple calendars, each with Standard Hours and Exceptions tabs. Standard Hours displays the admin's current time zone and allows setting hours for each day of the week. Exceptions are organized by year, with a dropdown to view or add exceptions for specific years. This update provides greater flexibility in scheduling and reporting configurations. | Agent | A11-2082 | |
Added a stored procedure to calculate the amount of Business Hours elapsed between two dates, using a specified Calendar. This feature allows a special report column to be created that calls the stored procedure, passing in two date columns and a calendar, enabling accurate business hour calculations based on the selected calendar for reporting purposes. | Agent | A11-2084 |
