What's New
This release contains the following new features and enhancements:
Workspace Web Edition
intelligent Workload Distribution (iWD) custom media support
- iWD UI framework allows custom media types such as faxes, scanned documents, and tasks to be routed to agents for processing. Included capabilities are:
- Media logon/logoff and readiness state control
- Interaction preview with accept and decline
- Transfer, save to personal workbin, and mark done
- Workitem stored in contact’s interaction history
Contact interaction history enhancements
- Agents can now open “In Progress” emails and workitems from the contact interaction history. This capability allows agents to respond in real-time to queued, outstanding customer inquiries.

Team Communicator enhancements
- The Corporate Favorite list can now be overridden by a routing strategy to allow greater target selection flexibility in the Team Communicator.
- Agents can now access agents and Routing Points from Team Communicator favorites, even if these phone number types and Routing Points are configured to be excluded from the permitted dialing list by the following configuration options:
Login enhancements
- Agents can now login to Workspace if at least one media is available. Previously, if one of the assigned media channels was not available, agents could not login.

Other enhancements

- When a voice consultation is started from a multimedia interaction, such as chat or email, the notes recorded for the multimedia interaction are now correctly added to the notes for the voice consultation.
- To improve troubleshooting, Workspace now has better browser logs to identify dialed numbers that don't match the value specified by the expression.team-communicator-phone-number option.
- Workspace now displays an improved error message if a default place is set for an agent, but the agent specifies a different place during login in environments where agents cannot change their place.
- When the list of statistics is refreshed in Contact Center Statistics, Workspace now correctly scrolls the list to display the objects that were being displayed before the refresh. Previously, when the list of statistics was refreshed, Workspace scrolled to the top of the list
