2.4    It is possible to change the group of a library response from the edit page

The library response group is now editable. 

After choosing a different group and saving the library response it will be moved to the new group. Agents will need to refresh their browsers after any change is made to see the results.

There is a new tab in Reports > Organisation called Received Files. All files received by Omni Reach are present, including files received by SFTP and any API uploads. API uploads have no filename.

Note that this list can include files that have failed validation.

To enable visit Settings -> Organization Settings and select the ‘Agent Settings’ tab. Next select the ‘Mark agents as idle after a period of time’ checkbox and enter the number of minutes of inactivity before marking an agent as idle. Click ‘Save’ to confirm.

Please note that if an agent is working on one chat for the idle timeout then they may be marked as idle depending on their activity within the chat.

Idle agents are represented with a purple tile
