Version 5.2.1
Bright Pattern Contact Center version 5.2.1 is a minor release comprising two feature enhancements and various bug fixes.
Features
The following new features have been added in version 5.2.1.
New Zealand Date Format
The locale English-NZ has been added to both the Service Provider application and the Contact Center Administrator application. When selected, the date format changes to DD/MM/YYYY. The locale can be selected via the application settings.
Auto Pin Case on Agent-Initiated Chat and Call
A new case and contact management setting allows cases created from an active call or chat to be automatically pinned to the creating agent. Automatically pinning interactions helps agents keep better track of work by preventing important chats and calls from getting lost.
