Glossary of terms

ACD Summary report

The ACD Summary includes total chats assigned automatically to agents (offered), the number of chats that ended before the agent could answer it (abandoned), and the number of chats taken away from an agent and given to another because the customer's wait time exceeded your threshold (reassigned), chats that went unanswered and answered. The report also includes useful operational data like average message count, the average duration of chats, and the maximum number of customers waiting in queue and the maximum wait time for any chat. We recommend grouping this report by operator to see if agents are answering or missing chats when they are assigned. For more information, see ACD Summary report.

Follow these guidelines to make the most of Digital DX AI's FAQ capabilites.

Remember the following guidelines when adding and FAQ to your widget:

  • Provide the FAQ in the widget upon opening?
  • Include three to six articles that represent your top use cases
  • When you start using the bot for the first time, specify the articles to be displayed in the FAQ using labels to avoid initial questions skewing your results
  • Review static FAQs every 30 days to see if they should be changed
  • If the FAQ is changed to dynamically present articles from the knowledge base later, make sure to exclude any negative articles from the FAQ like How do I get a refund?

Bold360 21.11 Release Notes

Bold360 version 21.11 contains the following new enhancements:

New KB Launchpad Intent Library for COVID-19/Vaccinations

In order to help businesses with providing just-in-time information related to updates to COVID-19 and vaccination protocols, a new entry in the KB Launchpad is now available with intents that can be used to deploy knowledge to keep your workforce informed of new policies and information that you may need to enforce.

Not familiar with the KB Launchpad? The KB Launchpad contains pre-defined intent libraries to help you add industry and use-case specific questions/intents to your KBs with your own specific responses to help with adding commonly asked questions for newly created KBs.

We will be enabling the KB Launchpad as a default setup option on all accounts shortly but contact your Account or Success Manager to get it enabled early if necessary.

ICO Cookie Compliance

In order to support ICO cookie compliance in regions that require end-user consent for allowing cookies to be set, Genesys DX now complies with this standard by making the tracking and analytics related cookies that are set through the touchpoint and visitor monitoring HTML snippets to be optional.

By default, all cookies will continue to be set upon page load. To restrict these cookies from loading automatically and only upon end-user consent, additional steps will be required on the website that the Genesys DX code is being deployed to.

You can learn more about what this compliance is and how to update your Genesys DX deployment to be compliant by reviewing the details in this article: ICO Cookie Compliance.
