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 Contact Center. 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.

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 Contact Center 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 Contact Center 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.

Intraday: Updates to Columns in the Volume Metric
With these updates, you will be able to get more data from Intraday.
There will be two more columns:
- Received: This will indicate how many interactions were received during that interval, regardless of whether they were answers.
- Backlog: This will indicate the number of unanswered interactions from the previous interval. If an interaction started at 11:10 and an agent didn't start handling it in that interval, the interaction will be considered in the backlog for the 11:15 interval.
In addition, the Handled column will be renamed to Answered. Answered is a more accurate term because interactions are measured when an agent starts handling them.

Agent Configuration: Work Rules for Agents
Each agent will have a work rule assigned to them. These rules will provide more flexibility and control over your agents' scheduling. For example, you can define how many hours each agent can work per week. You will also be able to create work rules for a specific date range. This is useful for when an agent can work more or less during different times of the year, such as during the summer break.
While maintaining a flexible and adaptable workforce, work rules will help:
- Ensure compliance
- Reduce legal risks
- Improve employee satisfaction
- Promote efficient operations

Virtual Agent Hub
External Provider Timeout Setting
Currently, when a third-party virtual agent provider encounters a problem, the Studio script waits for the provider platform to resolve the issue or to send an error. This could cause the contact to wait up to two minutes.
In this release, you will be able to configure a new timeout setting called External Provider Timeout. This will allow you to set the amount of time, between 30 seconds and two minutes, that the Studio script waits for the provider platform to respond. If the timeout is reached, the script will proceed, taking the error branch. This change will help you prevent the contact from experiencing unacceptable delays during an interaction.
