Puzzel WFM

Additional Features

Planner Portal

Agent Preferred Shift Start Times

We are now allowing planners to accommodate agent preferred time of work [For example, early morning shifts, late evening or shift timing to avoid rush hour] without compromising much on the service levels.  Planners can balance the agent preferences against the demands of their customers by specifying the proportion of agents that will be scheduled according to their preferences.

To use this feature, you must enable the "Preferred Shift Start Times" option for each campaign as shown in the image below.

Please note that this setting is turned off by default. 

Agent Portal

The Agent portal now allows agents to enter time ranges for each day of the week to indicate their preferred start time for that day.  Entries made on the Preferred Start page will apply to every week.

In scenarios where an agent prefers a different setting on a particular occasion, they can specify different times for that date on the Preferred Start Override tab.

Planners can also enter the agent's start time preferences on their behalf in the planner portal as shown below.

Setting Rank values for agents

An agent's Rank is used to decide if the agent's preferences will be satisfied during the scheduling process. Rank value is a whole number between 1 and 100 and can be assigned to each individual agent. Agents with lower rank values will be given priority when assigning shifts with preferred start time.

Setting the percentage of agents to be scheduled at their preferred start times

Planners can choose to schedule some agents to receive shifts starting at their preferred time or to ignore these agent preferences completely. When enabled, the planner chooses how many agents will be given shifts that start at their preferred times, ranging from 1% to 100%.

Improvements

Forecast Tagging

Planners can see tags that have been saved for a queue/day to indicate that this might not be suitable as source data when building a forecast.

Puzzel Case Management (Puzzel Ticketing)

Additional Feature

We have enhanced the Team/Queue integration between Puzzel Case Management (Puzzel Ticketing) and the Puzzel Agent and Puzzel Admin applications.  When a ticket request is created in the Puzzel Contact Center queue(s), additional data points including Subject & Priority (with colour coding) will now be displayed in the queue overview.

Agent Queue Overview:

Admin Real-time view:

This feature will make it much easier for Agent and Admin users to understand what the ticket request is related to as more information is visible within the queue.

In order to make this extended information available, the following configurations should be updated in your Puzzel Admin application.

(Please feel free to contact Puzzel Support if you need assistance with this.)

Navigate to Users ->Products

Open the Queue accordion, and ensure that the following settings are enabled.

Knowledgebase

Knowledgebase Widget - Article Feedback

Agents can now provide feedback on articles by adding a comment when viewing an article.

A popup window is presented for agents to provide the related feed. The sent feedback is available for admin users in the Knowledgebase Inbox.

Agent Assist – Knowledgebase Article Feedback 

We have now enabled agents to provide feedback on Knowledgebase articles in Agent Assist.

Knowledgebase Management System – Article Feedback

Administrators can now view a list of all articles containing feedback from agents in a new list view. After the feedback has been reviewed it can be deleted using the delete button.

Puzzel Digital Engagement tool

In this release we are introducing the Turn consumers camera feature which enables consumers to switch their video stream from front to back camera while on a video chat with a Puzzel agent. This helps the consumer to visually show agents the problems that they are facing in the real world.

To switch from back to front camera, simply click the icon in the camera app.
