13.02.2024 - shortyDings & shortyDings +[assist] Version 2.1.3.0

Release Notes for Version 2.1.3.0

Enhancements:

  • Text-to-Speech (TTS) Feedback Improvements:
  • To enhance compatibility with screen readers, TTS will no longer read out wrap-up codes in the list when text-to-speech feedback is disabled, and the "Do Select Wrap-up Code" hotkey is used. 
  • The TTS feedback has been improved in the Schedule Callback window to provide users with a more intuitive experience.
  • Enhancements have been made to TTS feedback in the Transfer Target, Start Conference, and Start Consult windows for better clarity and usability.
  • When Ctrl+I is pressed in the Schedule Callback window, TTS now reads the currently entered time for the callback.
  • Improved the functionality for disconnecting the last added participant in a conference. The hotkey will now remove the currently last added participant until only two participants remain.

Bug Fixes:

  • Fixed a bug in the Non-Assist Version that previously caused the Select Wrap-up Code window to close unexpectedly when navigating through the list.
  • Addressed an issue where the non-assist version displayed empty pop-ups, enhancing the overall user interface.
  • Resolved a bug where the "Do Interrupt Text-To-Speech" hotkey would inadvertently close a window.
  • The Schedule Callback window can now be closed even if the time entered is in the past, preventing a potential usability issue.
  • Callbacks can now also be scheduled for outbound calls.

  • Built-in feature and error reporting and request tool
  • Config backup and restore feature
  • Enhanced logging

Currently shortyDings cannot answer calls properly.
We provide a few workaround solutions temporarily. Technically, the Genesys API provides us with the ability to answer a call. However, depending on the endpoint used, this is not possible in most cases. Unfortunately, the built-in WebRTC phone cannot be answered via the API. We are working with Genesys on a solution for this....

  • Workaround:
    • Enable the auto-answer feature
    • Use the dingsConnector Chrome Extension V.:2.0.2
