Global Changes

Location Verification on Login

Currently, a user can log in from any location with the correct credentials. In this release, you will be able to configure allowed locations and assign them to users from the login authenticator profile. This setting will require 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 will fail with an error message.

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

Configuring a location check will strengthen your system security.

Accent Matching

Accent Matching is a tool that will change an agent's voice, in real time, to a voice with an accent from an English-speaking country. This will make it easier for contacts to understand agents whose native language is not English. It will also reduce frustration and improve customer satisfaction.

Agents will be able to select a voice avatar for each call. Voice avatars will include a male and female option for different English accents. This includes Australian, British, Irish, and US English accents.

You will be able to monitor Accent Matching with: 

  • An Accent Matching dashboard that shows the usage and minutes.

  • Recordings of calls that use Accent Matching. This will allow you to review the accent and assess the impact of the accent on your calls. Call recording for these calls will not be enabled by default.

In this initial controlled release of Accent Matching, you will need to download an audio driver to each agent's computer.

This feature will be available later in the release cycle.

Browser Inactivity Timeout Setting

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

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

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

ACD Routing

Channel Lock Setting for Users and Teams

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

In this release, a new Channel Lock setting will break 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 will now be able to 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 will end. The agent will then be able to receive interactions from any configured channel.

This feature will allow 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.
