Release Notes

Release Summary

This unifies the Dashboards & Wallboards release for Cisco CCE & CCX platform. It also includes the fix to support the creation of dashboards for multiple timezones.

What's New

Support for Unified Release of Wallboard

This release unifies all features in the previous release for CCE available now for CCX. For details on the features included in the previous version, see the Release Notes version 13.2.

Timezone implementation for historical stats

Timezone is available as a system setting where users are able to add a timezone once. The timezone value specified here will serve as the default timezone and will be applied to all dashboards in the application.

The default timezone will be UTC (with zero offsets). Users can, however, overwrite the settings for an individual dashboard.

In the case of the dashboard group, the data in each dashboard will appear based on the timezone of each individual dashboard. The timezone of the dashboard is also displayed on the final dashboard link.

Add a background color to a Data Table cell

Users can now also add thresholds for agent service attributes in the data table columns. Thresholds are available for the following columns:

ASA
AHT
State Duration

Values can be set in terms of seconds.

On meeting the set value of the threshold, the background color of the data table cell is highlighted based on the colors that have been chosen in the gadget settings (i.e. Orange for warning and Red for error).

EAP-10434 - Getting issue details... STATUS	MINOR	This issue is observed rarely based upon the total sample group of all state values and the ratio among them. The legend keys showing which slice represents what value in the data set is still available on the bottom of the gadget.
When the non-active VM or synchronizer comes up after failover, the stats on the gadget become zero for a few seconds and get updated later.	EAP-10126 - Getting issue details... STATUS	MINOR	No workaround

System Limitations

Summary	Description
SLA is calculated based on a hardcoded formula for CCX	For CCX, the SLA is calculated as the following: SLA = (Calls Handled/Total Calls) x100 For CCE, the SLA of a skill group is retrieved from the Skill Group tables in the CCE Database. See Integration with Cisco Unified CCE for more details.
SSO enabled UCCX/UCCE	User tries to login SSO enabled agent with SSO disabled settings from the environment variables than for UCCX agent will not login into the wallboard and for UCCE agent is able to login into the wallboard application
Timezone implementation is for the historical data	Timezone implementation applies to historical data only. The gadgets used for historical data are Line and Bar charts.
Date and Time on the dashboard/wallboard on the final link	Date and Time of the Dashboards&Wallboards are based on the machine/browser settings where it is opened.
In CCE, an agent in the "Talking" state is also reflected in the "Ready" state	In CCE, an agent in the "Talking" state is also reflected in the "Ready" state.
For CCE, a call that gets abandoned after getting routed to an agent by skill group is not available for reporting	A call that gets abandoned by the customer after being routed to an agent is not available for reporting purposes and thus, is not shown in the EF dashboards. However, this may affect the SLA of the skill group.
