Release notes for May 27, 2023
New and enhanced features
- Admin features
- Centralized location management
Account owners and admins can use a unified location management section on the web portal to manage Workspace Reservation at the account level. This centralized location management section has the same interface in each product section but is filtered for that specific product. For example, the Workspace Reservation section would only show Workspace Reservation-relevant data in the location hierarchy under that section of the web portal. Additionally, the account owner or admin can control other users’ roles in Location Management through role management. This feature will not be immediately available, as it is dependent on a backend server update currently scheduled for May 28, 2023. - Enhancements to the Workspace Reservation Dashboard
The dashboard tracks workspace check-in/check-out data, including the source of the workspace reservation for each check-in/check-out and a true/false field that indicates whether the reservation was automatically checked out. The dashboard also shows how many reservations occur on a certain date/date range in the future (without questionnaire data). It also displays the number of room reservations, desk reservations, total reservations, and the number of users making reservations. Account owners and admins can view the workspace metrics of different departments. Additionally, admins can download this information in a CSV report.
- User features
- Automatically remove previous reservations
When a user begins to reserve a new workspace, they will receive a message that indicates that they have other existing reservations during this timeframe. They can view their previous reservation and select whether they want to replace it with a new reservation. If the user continues to reserve a new workspace, the system will automatically delete the previous reservation.
Resolved issues
- Minor bug fixes
- Security enhancements
Note: The Recurring reservations features have been pulled from release due to issues with deployment and will be available in another upcoming release.
Changes to existing features
New and enhanced features
- Admin features
- Concurrent licensing
Zoom Contact Center is introducing concurrent licensing, which provides a one-to-many license option where users can use a license from a shared license pool when they are actively using the Zoom Contact Center desktop client or web portal. Account owners and admins can access the licenses usage log to view overall concurrent license usage for each billing period. This feature is only available for accounts that have purchased a concurrent licensing plan. - Address verifications documents for number ordering
When ordering toll-free and virtual service numbers for certain countries/regions, account owners and admins can upload the required documents to provide address verification. - SMS support for toll-free numbers
Account owners and admins can assign US & Canada toll-free phone numbers as entry points for SMS flows. They can also see or add toll-free numbers that support SMS. - Specify caller ID for callbacks
Account owners and admins can specify the outbound caller ID used for voice queue callbacks to the consumer. By default, voice queues use the flow entry point number as the caller ID. - Localization for Queue menu text-to-speech prompts
Account owners and admins can configure text-to-speech (TTS) menu prompts and greetings in other languages. - Enhancements to Collect Input widget
There are several enhancements to the Collect Input widget:
