Dashboard Enhancements
Dashboard Operational Visibility & Usability Improvements
Feature
Dashboard enhancements include:
- Callback error count column
- Dashboard redesign: Mode of Operations, Offer Status, and simplified Queue State indicators
- EWT display improved to hh:mm:ss formatting
Value Proposition
Admins can interpret queue health and offer readiness faster—reducing troubleshooting time and improving operational confidence.
Feature Insights
- Clarity: Highlights actionable issues (errors/state mismatches) without extra clicks.
- Speed: Faster operational decisions with standardized labels and readable EWT.
ASAP Callback Monitoring: Attempts & Dispositions
Feature
Current ASAP Callbacks table now shows attempt number and last attempt disposition.
Value Proposition
Quickly identifies retries and failure patterns without log review—supporting faster intervention.
Feature Insights
- Diagnosability: See repeat failures and progress status at a glance.
- Recovery: Shortens time to resolve stuck or repeatedly failing callbacks.
EWT Configuration Transparency (Admin Visibility)
Feature
Admin-role users can view the configured EWT calculation method.
Value Proposition
Makes EWT behavior more explainable—speeding troubleshooting and reducing uncertainty.
Feature Insights
- Explainability: Confirms how EWT is derived for ops stakeholders.
- Supportability: Faster root-cause isolation when EWTs look unexpected.
Reporting Enhancements
Report Usability Upgrades: Totals, Time Zone, View Options, Sticky Headers
Feature
Reporting usability improvements include:
- Totals labeled Report Totals
- Time Zone selector for reports
- View Options dropdown remains open for multi-select
- Frozen headers for Offer Details and Callback Details
Value Proposition
Analysts and admins can configure, read, and trust reports faster—reducing manual reconciliation and errors.
Feature Insights
- Accuracy: Less misinterpretation (totals + headers + time zone consistency).
- Efficiency: Faster report tailoring with fewer clicks and clearer layouts.
Report Analytics & Filtering Enhancements
Feature
Reporting adds deeper performance insight and more targeted filtering:
- ASAP Callback Target Summary adds Percent Off Target, Avg Early/Late, Max Early/Late
- Offer Details indicates Accepted–ASAP vs Accepted–Scheduled
- Expanded filters across key reports (Queue Group, Queues/Queuing VDN, EWT Offered, First Callback Attempt seconds and ranges)
Value Proposition
Makes it easier to pinpoint drivers behind performance outcomes and tune callback strategy without exporting data.
Feature Insights
- Insight: Better measurement of timing variance and customer acceptance behavior.
- Precision: Faster root-cause analysis with richer, report-native filtering.
User Experience Enhancements
VUI Experience & Outcome Clarity Improvements
Feature
Caller and integration-facing VUI enhancements include:
- Open/Closed messaging support (PS assistance noted)
- ICX Offer VUI returns outcome distinguishing INELIGIBLE vs DECLINED
Value Proposition
Improves caller expectation-setting and enables smarter downstream handling in ICX based on true outcome.
Feature Insights
- Experience: Aligns messaging to availability and reduces after-hours confusion.
- Decisioning: ICX can branch/report differently for eligibility vs customer choice.
Integration + Administration Enhancements
ICX EWT Bulk Retrieval API
Feature
New API enables ICX to retrieve EWTs broadly with a single FIL API invocation, reducing load in FIL/ICX deployments.
Value Proposition
Improves scalability and efficiency for integrated environments—especially under peak usage.
Feature Insights
- Scalability: Reduces repetitive EWT polling across queues/skills.
- Performance: Lowers FIL overhead during heavy flow/reporting demand.
Admin Configuration Efficiency: VDN Overrides, Service Hours Search, Slot Controls
Feature
Administration improvements include:
- VDN-level overrides for dialing prefix and legacy transfer parameters
- Service Hours template search/filter
- Advanced controls to set available callback slots within scheduled time periods
Value Proposition
Cuts configuration time and increases flexibility—helping align dialing behavior and scheduling commitments to real operations.
Feature Insights
- Agility: Faster, more targeted configuration for multi-VDN environments.
- Capacity control: Prevents overbooking and improves scheduled callback reliability.
