Accessibility

Accessibility Improvements

NiCE CXone now includes significant accessibility improvements designed to offer a smoother, more inclusive experience for users across a wide range of visual, motor, and cognitive needs. For more information, see Accessibility Overview.

Accessibility statement

Documented date: April 2026

Testing duration: CXone latest release

NiCE CXone strives to make all products accessible and align with WCAG 2.2 Level AA compliance, Section 508 and European Accessibility Act (EAA).

At NiCE CXone, we are committed to ensure digital accessibility for people with all levels of disability.

We are continually improving the user experience for everyone across our product suite as well as incorporating inclusive design principles in new features and solutions.

Product ACR/ VPAT (Partially support and Usability issues)

As requested, NiCE Account Managers can share a product’s latest ACR.

In some cases, the Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR) / VPAT® may identify certain success criteria as Partially Supports. This does not mean that NiCE does not support accessibility or that users are unable to access the product. Instead, it means that the product meets WCAG 2.2 Level AA accessibility requirements and has no functional accessibility barriers, but some tasks may be completed using alternative methods.

In these cases, users can still successfully complete their tasks, even if the experience is not as smooth or intuitive as it could be. NiCE will work to improve the overall user experience while maintaining full accessibility compliance.

NiCE welcomes customer feedback related to usability and recognizes its importance in delivering a high quality user experience. Some features may be less intuitive, yet they meet accessibility and WCAG standards. NiCE actively logs and reviews these items and incorporates them into our backlog for ongoing product improvement.

Measures to Support Accessibility

We take the following measures to ensure accessibility:

Continuous Improvement: Accessibility is part of our mission statement and internal design process.

Rigorous Testing: Our platform is regularly tested using a combination of automated and manual tools, including:

Automated:

  • AXE-core: 4.0.1

Manual/Assistive Technology:

  • Chrome Browser Extension: ARC Toolkit - Version: 5.7.10

  • JAWS - 2025.2506.170

  • Dragon: 16.10.200.044

  • Color Contrast Analyzer: 3.5.5 JAWS (screen reader)

  • Dragon NaturallySpeaking (voice control)

Known Limitations & Technical Disclaimers

While we strive for seamless access, some parts of our platform may have limitations. We are actively working to resolve these:

Reflow & Zoom: Our platform baseline is 1024 px. When using 200% zoom, the viewport reduces to a 256 px equivalent. While we aim for a responsive experience, some layout shifts or increased scrolling may occur in dense data views at these levels.

While our platform is optimized for a 1024px desktop experience, we provide partial support for Reflow. Main navigation and textual content are designed to reflow; however, our core functionality involves complex data grids and visualizations that require two-dimensional layout to maintain meaning. Per the SC 1.4.10 exception for data tables and charts, these elements maintain their layout, which may require horizontal scrolling at high zoom levels (320px equivalent).

Suggested workaround: Instead of browser zoom, use OS-level tools like Windows Magnifier or macOS Zoom or Use text zoom.

AI-Enhanced Interfaces: Our AI solutions utilize a persistent side panel layout to provide real-time, context-aware assistance alongside your primary work area. This panel does not reflow to the bottom of the screen at high zoom levels. Consequently, users navigating at high magnification may experience a two-dimensional layout (horizontal scrolling) to keep both the workspace and the AI insights in view

Suggested workaround: For users with low vision, we suggest using a large-format monitor or a dual-monitor setup. This allows you to maintain the necessary side-by-side AI orientation at a higher scale without losing the visual connection between your work and the AI's suggestions.

Complex Data & Tables: Due to the nature of our complex data visualizations and large tables of content, some pages may require horizontal scrolling.

Suggested workaround: Use keyboard navigation, CSV export option.

Real-Time agent guidance during voice interactions: Our platform provides real-time data and guidance prompts visually to assist agents during active interactions. Please be aware that these live updates may not be fully supported for screen reader users during an active voice call. Because the screen reader’s text-to-speech output competes with the audio of the live caller, it can create a significant "audio conflict" that hinders the ability to process both streams of information simultaneously. We recommend users who rely on screen readers contact to discuss specialized workflow configurations or alternative support formats.

Drag & Drop: Certain applications (e.g. Web Studio) within our platform utilize interfaces that are exclusively based on drag-and-drop interactions. These specific modules require a mouse or pointing device for operation and do not currently support keyboard-only or screen reader navigation.

Compliance Status: Our latest Accessibility Conformance Reports (ACRs/VPATs) indicate that some components are currently "Partially Supported." We are in a constant cycle of remediation to move these toward "Supported."

Suggested workaround: Follow our Release Notes to keep up to date with our release enhancements.

User Recommendations

For users who rely on magnification or enlarged text:

  • Recommended zoom: 200% provides the best balance of enlarged content and usability.

  • Screen magnification software: Use ZoomText, Windows Magnifier, macOS Zoom, and similar.

  • Browser text-only zoom: Supported; interface layouts accommodate enlarged text.

  • High contrast modes: Works with Windows High Contrast and forced-colors modes.

Tips for viewing at high zoom levels:

  • Data visualizations have pan and zoom controls separate from browser zoom

  • Dashboard widgets can be expanded to full screen for detailed viewing

  • Column visibility settings persist across sessions—configure once at your preferred zoom level

  • Export to CSV is provided in many data components

Feedback and contact information

For any feedback or accessibility-related concerns, customers may reach out to their Partner, Technical Account Manager (TAM), or primary NiCE contact person.

Resources and Conformance Documentation

To ensure full transparency, we provide detailed accessibility information for each of our individual applications. By following the links below, you can access the latest Accessibility Conformance Reports (ACRs) and specific user documentation for each tool.

Additionally, we have developed a dedicated Keyboard Navigation User Guide to help users who rely on keyboard-only interaction navigate our complex data views and interfaces more efficiently. We encourage you to review these materials for a deeper understanding of our current accessibility status and for tips on how to optimize your experience.

ACD

Allow or Prevent Transfer to an ACD Skill Based on Hours of Operation

Previously, agents could transfer an interaction to an ACD skill even if that skill's hours of operation were set to closed. In this release, you can configure voice skills to prevent agents from transferring interactions to it if the skill is closed based on its hours of operation.

This change prevents contacts from waiting indefinitely when no agents are available due to their department or organization being closed. By default, transfer is allowed even if the skill is closed. You can configure this setting in the ACD Skills page, via the skills bulk upload template, or by APIs that allow the creation or modification of ACD skills.

Scripts Page Spawn Tab

The Spawn tab was removed from the ACD Scripts page in a previous release. In this release, this tab has been added back to the Scripts page. However, the tab will be re-deprecated in a future release. If you have Studio scripts that use script URLs generated from this page, those scripts must be updated by the end of 2026. A recommended solution is to use the NiCE CXone POST /scripts/start API Icon of a square with an arrow point from the center through the top right corner. to call the script.

Advanced Routing

Agent Capacity Profiles

Agent capacity profiles let you create profiles that control which interactionClosed The full conversation with an agent through a channel. For example, an interaction can be a voice call, email, chat, or social media conversation. types agents can receive based on what they’re already handling. This helps you prevent disruptive combinations, such as blocking new voice or chat contacts while an agent is on a complex interaction. It also helps you fine-tune concurrent routing behavior without changing Studio scripts.

You can create profiles based on the channel of the interaction currently in progress, the channel of the next interaction in the queue, or the ACD skill of the current interaction. There is a maximum of 5000 profiles. You can see agent capacity profiles by clicking the app selector Icon of a 3 x 3 grid of squares. and choosing Routing Center Agent Capacity Profiles. This option must be enabled by your NiCE CXone account representative.

Agent capacity profiles can be enabled after CU 4 deploys to your cluster.

Agentic AI Agent Creation – Tool Set Connected to API Endpoints and MCP Server

In this release, you can create AI agents that automatically connect to your endpoints, MCP servers - removing the need for manual schema setup or endpoint configuration.

Currently, when Flows are published from Auto Insights (Actions), they create placeholder nodes inside AI Agents (Cognigy) that require extensive manual configuration, including defining schemas, mapping inputs and outputs, and setting up endpoints. This workflow is time consuming and prone to errors.

In this release, tools for your AI agents are automatically generated and fully configured using your existing API specifications or MCP servers. On the new ActionsSettings page, you can,

  • Upload API documentation files in YAML, JSON, or text formats.

  • Connect your existing MCP servers.

The application then:

  • Detects and extracts all available API endpoints from the provided documentation.

  • Automatically creates the required tools and inserts HTTP nodes (not placeholder nodes) during agent creation.

  • Reduces your manual effort to only minimal tasks such as authentication setup inside AI Agents (Cognigy) flows.

New Multi-Region BCP Correlation API

A new API helps you map entities between your primary tenant and Multi-Region BCP tenant. This is especially useful if you already created entities (like users or ACD skills) in your Multi-Region BCP tenant before enabling Multi-Region BCP sync. Without correlation, the sync process could create duplicates or fail due to conflicts. With this new API, you can provide the correct mappings up front, ensuring a smooth sync and preventing duplication.

The endpoints for this API are: 

  • POST /correlation-manager/v1/correlations: To create new correlation for the tenant when it does not already exist.

  • POST /correlation-manager/v1/correlations/search: To search all correlations by filters passed in the request.

If consumers continue to infer permissions only based on what the Permission API returns, the expanded license list returned by this change will cause the logic to miscalculate permissions and grant users excessive data visibility. To avoid this risk, you will need to update your implementations to drive RBAC decisions from the permission set, not from the license list alone.

  • Start workflows through Copilot recommendations, search, manual selection, or rule-based triggers

  • Execute workflows step-by-step by responding to inputs and forms rendered in Copilot UX

  • Run multiple workflows within a single interaction (one at a time, sequentially)

  • Work within a dedicated Process Automation space with clear workflow status

Workflows follow the logic defined in AI Agents (Cognigy). Copilot acts as the interface to present each step as inputs and adaptive card-based forms and to capture agent responses. Auto-fill is supported only for the optional starter form configured at the Copilot profile level, using available context. Once a workflow is invoked, execution continues based on the AI Agents (Cognigy) flow, and progress is maintained across steps.

Admins are able to:

  • Connect and enable AI Agents (Cognigy) workflows directly within Copilot profiles, simplifying admin setup by removing the need for Virtual Agent Hub configuration

  • Configure optional starter forms to capture input before workflow invocation

  • Define session timeouts and control transcript sharing (full transcript or summary at invocation)

  • Use the Rules Engine to trigger workflows in recommendation or auto-run mode. These workflows do not need to be enabled in the Copilot profile and can run silently. To allow agents to manually trigger a workflow, it must be enabled in the profile.

  • Workflow testing and validation are performed within AI Agents (Cognigy).

Additionally, Copilot for Agents supports separate Primary and Secondary Knowledge Base (KB) Answer cards for both automatic (transcript-driven) and manual (agent-driven) queries.

A new KB Answer Type setting allows you to define which answers Copilot returns for automatic queries extracted from the transcript. You can choose between Primary, Secondary, or Both (with the default set to Primary).

For manual queries, a similar configuration is available through the Manual KB Answer Response setting. This allows you to select whether the response includes Primary, Secondary, or both types of KB answers (with the default set to Primary).

For Primary KB Answers, a new Card Title field is introduced with a default value of “Primary Answer”. For Secondary KB Answers, the existing Sub-Card Title field is renamed to Card Title, with a default value of “Secondary Answer”.

These configured Card Titles are displayed in the Copilot KB Answer Card to help the agent identify which type of answer is provided.

Primary and Secondary KB Answers provide two different answers to the same question using different sets of filtered articles. This configuration is used to provide a “customer” response using public articles and an “agent” response using private, internal articles. If both Primary and Secondary KB Answers are enabled, a given question may return:

  • Just Primary

  • Just Secondary

  • Both Primary and Secondary

  • No KB Answer at all

Universal Call Branding with Hiya for Regions Outside the US

You can use Hiya secure branding to brand calls that terminate outside the United States, including Canada, the UK, and Europe. Both US and non-US numbers can be registered for branding when the call's destination is outside the US. For registered numbers, when the call's destination is within the US, the calls are routed to First Orion and TNS.

To use this service, no configuration is required in Hiya. Using Hiya call branding lets you call verification for contacts outside the US, protecting them from spoofed calls. It also allows you to maintain a consistent branded calling experience across regions outside the US.

Workforce Management (CXone)

Staffing Requirement Calculation with Ready Time Adjustment

In version 26.2 and later, staffing requirements in Forecasting > Staffing Simulation are enhanced. The simulation incorporates agent Ready Time into the staffing logic, so the requirement numbers more accurately reflect how your contact center operates.

The calculation also uses your configured skill groups, which improves accuracy in multi-skill environments. Because the simulation follows a more realistic handling model, you see higher required agent counts than before.

To benefit from the improved logic, staffing must be recalculated. If schedules are already published, you rerun Staffing for the active job. If the schedules have not yet been published, you either update the existing job or run a new one.

Until you recalculate staffing, existing jobs continue to show the old requirement values.

Edit and Delete Existing Future Activities in Schedule Manager

In Schedule Manager, you can review, edit, and delete future activities from a single place. This helps you keep your future activity plans accurate.

Previously, when you created future activities, you could not view or edit them all in one list or update them in a controlled way.

In this release, you can modify or delete future activities you no longer need, improving efficiency and reducing the time it takes to adjust them.

Customize Activity Colors in Activity Codes Page

In Setup > Activity Codes, you can choose custom colors for your activity codes and see them applied in Schedule Manager. This helps you quickly distinguish different activities of the same type on schedules without relying only on text or hover.

Previously, activity codes of the same type (such as Busy, Break, Open, Out of Office, or On Call) shared a single system-defined color. In the Schedule Manager grid, these activities often looked the same, and you needed to hover over or read the labels to understand which activity you were viewing. It was also not clear when color changes made in Activity Codes appear on the schedule.

In this release, you have the option to select a default or custom color when you create or edit an activity code on the Activity Codes page and display the activity code names within Schedule Manager. These custom colors appear across Schedule Manager, My Zone, Requests, RTA, and other WFM pages update in the upcoming 26.3 release.

Some categories, such as Organization Closed and Unavailable, continue to use their system-defined default colors. This makes it easier to visually distinguish activities, review schedules more quickly, and support future enhancements that rely on clear activity visuals.

Embedded Copilot Q&A in WFM Intraday Manager

This feature is only available with the WFM Premium license.

A Copilot Q&A panel is now embedded in Intraday Manager, so managers can ask supported WFM questions directly from the intraday view without switching pages.

How it works

  • Open the Copilot panel from the Intraday header and ask WFM prompts (the same set as in Enlighten Copilot; permissions are enforced).

  • Answers are based on reporting data (not real-time intraday), which is ideal for performance evaluation and planning.

Value

  • Faster insight with less context switching.

  • Diagnose recent adherence and coverage patterns and prepare for the upcoming days, all within the Intraday page.

Schedule Optimization with Predictive Extra Hours

This feature is only available with the WFM Advance license.

You can run an on-demand optimization in Schedule Optimization > Plans that proposes extra hours for eligible agents. The optimizer evaluates interval-level staffing gaps, agent skills, multiskill leverage, and daily and weekly hour limits, and suggests extending shifts at the start or end where it has the greatest impact.

Previously, when you needed extra hours to cover demand, you often relied on manual judgment or approval rules to decide which agents’ shifts to extend and by how much. It was hard to balance skill needs, existing schedules, and labor constraints, such as maximum hours per day or week. This increased the risk of non-compliance and could result in inefficient use of multi-skilled agents.

In this release, optimization supports Extra Hours only. Optimizing both Break and Extra Hours for the same job is not yet available and will be supported in a future release.

This helps managers quickly identify the most effective agents to extend without manually checking hour balances, skill fit, or coverage needs. After you review the proposed extensions on the Plans page, you apply them directly to schedules.

An Inclusive My Zone – My Schedule Experience with Embedded Accessibility Compliance Standards

On the My Zone > My Schedule page, NiCE CXone WFM includes significant accessibility improvements to offer a smoother, more inclusive experience for users across a wide range of visual, motor, and cognitive needs.

These changes help ensure that more users can view and manage their schedules, requests, and activities with confidence.

Informative, Activity Context Notifications for Clear Schedule Updates

Previously, multiple notifications regarding schedule requests lacked clear, necessary details to keep users well-informed. Details in the notifications were vague, not specific to the user, or lack the type of request made.

In this release, notifications are more informative and provide clear updates specific to the agent, including start and end times for schedule changes and the specific activity impacted by the request. Supervisors also receive appropriate notifications for all schedule requests, including when trades are canceled after acceptance.

In addition, references for supervisor approval appear only when approval is required. These updates to in-app notifications, emails, and mobile push notifications improve clarity and help users stay informed.

Improved Usability with Unified Trading Experience Across My Zone and Mobile

In the NiCE CXone WFM mobile app, the trade experience is more closely aligned with the web trade flow, so agents can follow a consistent, intuitive process in both My Zone and the mobile app. This makes it easier and faster for agents to request and complete trades without having to relearn different behaviors for each channel.

Previously, the mobile trade flow differed from the web experience in navigation, validation, and how agents choose days and partners for trades. This could cause confusion, extra back-and-forth, and a disjointed experience for the agent.

In this release, the mobile trade flow is refined to better align with the web trade logic, with synchronized navigation and clearer notifications. All configured Shift Trade parameters continue to be enforced for mobile trades, and agents select the day or days they want off, which filters the list of eligible trade partners.

These changes will be available with the NiCE CXone WFM mobile release 3.7.1, targeted for the end of April 2026, and provide a more consistent trade experience across My Zone and the mobile app while honoring the trade rules defined by admins.

Empowered Agents On-the-Go with Day-Off Trades

In the NiCE CXone WFM mobile app, agents can trade a day off, not just a scheduled shift. This gives agents more flexibility to adjust their days off using the same trade options they already use in My Zone.

Previously, agents could trade only scheduled shifts in the mobile app. If they wanted to trade a day off, they had to go through additional manual steps or use the web experience, and they could not easily filter potential trade partners by the day they want off. This limited flexibility and made it harder to find suitable matches.

In this release, agents can now start trades on a day off, in addition to a working shift. The mobile Trade flow validates all configured shift trade parameters defined by the administrator, and agents define preferences for which day off they want to filter the list of eligible target agents. These changes will be available with the NiCE CXone WFM mobile release 3.7.1, targeted for the end of April 2026.

The Day Off Trade enhancement helps provide agents with a unified trade experience regardless of the channel they use to submit a trade request.

Faster Page Performance with On-Demand Net Staffing in Manage Requests

Previously, the Manage Requests page calculated and displayed net staffing across all dates retrieved. This could affect page performance and initial page load times, negatively impacting the overall user experience on a high-touch, widely used approval page for agent schedule requests.

In this release, a new View Net Staffing parameter is added to the Manage Requests page. After the page has loaded, managers can select this new parameter to display net staffing. Managers see the net staffing for any date they navigate to, while the page remains more responsive and scalable as the number of requests grows.

Improved Performance for Large Data Sets with Filters & Pagination on Key Agent Request and Approval Administration Pages

NiCE CXone WFM advances toward supporting larger tenant sizes through performance and usability improvements.

Previously, very large environments could experience slower responses and more complex navigation in areas such as Manage Requests > Trades tab, Approval Rules, and My Zone>Schedule Requests when handling high volumes of agents and requests.

In this release, WFM adds enhanced filtering (with supporting pagination) in Manage Requests > Trades, Approval Rules, and My Zone > Schedule Requests to better handle large datasets. These changes are part of a broader initiative to certify NiCE CXone WFM for large customer tenants, helping you maintain responsiveness and manageability as your operation scales.

WFM Reports in NiCE CXoneDashboard

WFM reports are now available on the NiCE CXone Dashboard, providing direct access to WFM reporting from the dashboard experience rather than the Reporting application. These reports are planned to replace the existing reports in a future release.

Previously, WFM reports were available under the Reporting application.

In this release, the same reports, including Adherence, Intraday Manager, and Time Utilization, are accessible as prebuilt reports within the NiCE CXone Dashboard, using the same underlying data.

Dashboards and reports are displayed according to the user's selected time zone. This provides visibility into agent time allocation and performance, helping supervisors make better-informed scheduling and operational decisions.

Engagement Hub Support to Generate Agent Adherence Report in CXone WFM for 3rd Party ACDs

In this release, the integration of 3rd-party ACDs that do not provide an Agent Adherence Report (such as Amazon Connect ACD), the CXone WFM generates the Agent Adherence Report for such ACDs. This allows CXone WFM to consume normalized Amazon Connect agent activity and use it for historical adherence reporting.

Previously, customers using Amazon Connect with NiCE CXone WFM could not generate the WFM Agent Adherence Report from Amazon Connect data, which limits their ability to review historical adherence and agent behavior directly in WFM.

In this release, NiCE CXone WFM enables the generation of the Agent Adherence Report from Amazon Connect ACD. This helps customers manage workforce adherence more effectively by providing a consistent, WFM-native view of agent activity sourced from Amazon Connect.
