March 4, 2021 (9.0.000.64)

Resolved issues

  • iWD Manager now correctly prohibits saving empty rules in Rules Builder. (CIWD-1370)
  • When an Endpoint is either unassigned from the Designer application or deleted, in a previously related workitem's details the default Endpoint now displays. (CIWD-1105)
  • When the source system submits a workitem with empty non-custom attribute values, these attributes can now be edited in iWD Manager. (CIWD-533)

February 11, 2021 (9.0.000.63)

What's new?

Auto-suggest in search

  • iWD now auto-suggests possible values for:
    • Existing attributes names and logical operators.
    • Values for key-value pairs and multi-values, along with the ability to search among them using an already entered value.
    (CIWD-772)

WFM Activity to Category mapping

  • Genesys WFM Activity can now be mapped to the  level1/*  category path in iWD in addition to  level1/level2, Default/unclassified, and level1/unclassified.  Setup is the same as before but instead of specifying  leve1/level2  in the activity, specify  level1/*  to select all subcategories of the  level1  category. (CIWD-985)

Reporting enhancements

  • The reporting model has been extended with new elements:
    • The Media Type attribute distinguishes different types of media (such as workitem or email). It is added to the following reports:
      • Capture Point Business Value
      • Capture Point Task Duration
      • Customer Segment Service Level
      • Intraday Process
      • Resource Performance
      • Task Age
      • Task Detail
      • Task Work Detail Report
    • The Media Type prompt enables filtering by different types of media. It is added to reports containing the Media Type attribute listed above, and to the following dashboards:
      • Capture Point
      • Customer Segment Service Level
      • Intraday Process
      • Resource Performance
      • Task Age Dashboard
    • The Interaction Type and Interaction Subtype attributes enable data to be organized by interaction type and interaction subtype. They are added to the following reports:
      • Task Detail
      • Task Work Detail Resource Performance Report
    • The Interaction Type prompt allows the Task Detail, Task Work Detail and Resource Performance Reports to be filtered by interaction type.
    (CIWD-784)

Inactivity logout

  • iWD Manager now logs users out automatically after 15 minutes of inactivity. (CIWD-1071)

Filter and sort attributes

  • It is now possible to filter and sort workitem attributes in the Workitem Details panel. (CIWD-1006)

Resolved issues

  • iWD now correctly updates the state of a workitem that is returned to the universal queue after a routing timeout in Designer. Previously in such a scenario, iWD might have put workitems into a Completed state, which might have resulted in their being marked as Expired while still awaiting completion. (CIWD-1409)
  • iWD now uses the same interaction ID for both Contact Server and Interaction Server when a workitem is submitted. (CIWD-1399)
  • iWD now takes into account the priority attribute provided by the source system. This initial priority value is now always added to the priority calculated by the prioritization schema. (CIWD-1397)
  • iWD now correctly handles rules defined in categories, when the type of categorization rule is changed from Lucene Query to Rules Builder or vice versa. Previously, iWD might have incorrectly updated the changed rule. (CIWD-1196)
  • iWD now correctly calculates the next scheduled reprioritization time. Previously this time was calculated based on the last time the workitem was queued. (CIWD-1157)
  • iWD now correctly processes transfers for workitems when the assigned agent changes. (CIWD-1092)
  • iWD Manager now displays user-friendly names for Designer applications. (CIWD-422)

Support for query validation in iWD Manager

  • iWD Manager now validates Lucene queries in the search field, highlights the position of any search field input errors and shows error messages. (CIWD-556)

Improved handling of duplicate workitems

  • IWD now returns a 200 OK HTTP response when a request to create workitems contains one or more workitems that have already been created. The body of the HTTP response now contains a list with details of all workitems, and an additional list of external IDs of the duplicates. Client applications that process this content in an HTTP response need to be adjusted to accommodate the change in format. Please refer to the API documentation for details. (CIWD-719)

Auto-addition of Endpoint prefixes

  • When an endpoint of type openmedia is created, a prefix is now automatically added. Previously this prefix had to be added manually. (CIWD-609)

  • No longer makes any additional attempts to reconnect.
  • Issues only a single client registration request per queue. This also improves performance.
  • Registers the client immediately and subscribes to notifications (unsolicited events). This ensures that workitems' states are updated precisely.

What's New

UI Enhancements in iWD Manager

  • A new Summary View panel is added to the Settings tab of iWD Manager. This displays details of all categories, prioritization schemas and endpoints. You can also search the displayed items and export displayed items to .CSV format.
  • You can now search the lists of categories and prioritization schemas by entering search text above the navigation tree in the respective panels.
  • You can now use the names of categories in the Segment by option of the endpoint configuration. This is useful when multiple categories are configured to use the same endpoint. Using the category for segmentation along with other item attributes can help to ensure that items from all categories are pushed to routing.

What's New

Dashboards

  • This release delivers dashboards for real-time monitoring of workitems in iWD Manager. Use these to:
    • Identify bottlenecks in arrival and completion patterns.
    • View volumes.
    • Monitor service level adherence, categories and timing.
    You can drill down at any time to the data underlying these dashboards by clicking on the Workitems tab.

Source system updates

  • Source systems can now receive updates as workitems progress through the iWD solution. This feature connects the iWD solution to the source system by means of a webhook integration configured by Genesys Professional Services. Outgoing messages do not require a confirmation of receipt from the source system, so you should consider them as informational only and therefore delivered on a best-efforts basis.

Sample integration

  • This release includes a one-way sample integration of Salesforce.com cases to the intelligent Workload Distribution API.

For more information on Cloud iWD, see the documentation here.

June 28, 2019 (9.0.000.18)

What's New

Cloud intelligent Workload Distribution (iWD)

Cloud intelligent Workload Distribution (iWD) captures pre-classified work items (tasks) from any source system, then continuously re-prioritizes the tasks according to business requirements to ensure they are pushed to the best available agent at the right time.

  • Business Context Configuration—The source system classifies tasks and passes them to Cloud iWD to match with the appropriate departments and business processes. Tasks can then be viewed and managed in the Global Task List in iWD Manager, and subsequently reported on. Business users can easily add new departments or business processes.
  • Service Level Agreement-based Rules—Service Level Agreement (SLA) rules prioritize the tasks from most to least important, based on business value. Cloud iWD automatically re-prioritizes tasks throughout their lifecycle, ensuring the most important are at the top of the Global Task List.
  • Task Management—Operations Managers and Team Leads can:
    • View captured tasks in the Global Task List
    • Hold, resume, and cancel tasks
    • Modify task attributes (modifications take effect immediately)
    • Manage flexible and business-friendly prioritization schemes
  • Business Insights—Cloud iWD generates task-based statistics that provide insight into business performance. Business insights are available for the current day, and intraday historically.

For more information on Cloud iWD, see the documentation here.
