    Hello and welcome to the UI New Features community - home of the Multipanel Agent Workspace Opt-In Toolkit (say that five times fast!) I am so glad you're here, taking the time to familiarize yourself with the change that we're bringing to Genesys Cloud: a multipanel agent workspace!

    The new agent workspace in Genesys Cloud allows agents to see more than one tool at a time, and configure their workspace

    Beta users have found that multipanel workspace is doing exactly what we designed it to do - reduce repetitive clicks, increase adoption of tools, and reduce AHT. We're really excited that it's now available to you to roll out to agents! 

    We don't typically do opt-in UI changes at Genesys, so we've built this community to provide you with resources, a spot to share best practices and encouragement with one another, and to connect with product leaders. The opt-in transition period is from now until March 2025, and after that all agents are going to be on the multipanel workspace when the tabbed version is retired. 

    And by way of introduction, hi! I'm a product marketing director here at Genesys, I work on the agent workspace (that's this stuff!) and AI Copilots. I live in New Hampshire with one husband, two daughters, one dog, two cats, and about 20 chickens.

    Please chime in! What's your role, where are you located? What are you hoping multipanel agent workspace will do for you? 

    Just to give you a quick sense of the Toolkit, here's a table of contents:  

    1. Getting Started: The Multipanel Agent Workspace Toolkit
    2. Timing considerations: When should we start opting in? 
    3. Sharing with leadership: an email template and video
    4. How To: give agents permission 
    5. Sharing with agent supervisors: an email template 
    6. Sharing with agents: email template, best practices one page guide, and a video
    7. Sharing with agents: Workspace update overview video
    8. Communications with agents: at the time of launch
    9. How to: opt-in and opt-out for agents 
    10. Communications with agents: recurring reminders to opt-in

    Access all of this content by visiting the library tab on this community. 

    Thanks for being here!

    @Allison Castelot thanks so much for pulling this together... 

    I'm a senior product manger at Genesys located in Winder, GA, married with 2 dogs and 6 Seahorses .. yep Seahorses . We are excited to be part of this journey with you as we roll out the Multipanel Agent Workspace. We worked on enhancing the agent workspace experience, focusing on tools that help streamline workflows and improve overall efficiency.

    Just remember !!! The opt-in period runs until March 2025, and we've set up this community to provide resources, share best practices, and connect with our product team. Please don't hesitate to introduce yourself-what's your role, where are you located, and what do you hope the Multipanel Agent Workspace will do for your team?

    @Allison Castelot Hello.

    Great Content! Thank you.

    I was unable to find your email address but wanted to meet with someone on this new feature. We have a number of customers reaching out to us in a panic about this and how it will affect their experience.

    can you direct me?

    Thank you

    Hi Allison,

    Regarding this statement:

    The agent multipanel UI is available as an opt-in from October 2024 to March 2025. As an admin, you will decide when - and how - your agents should opt-in. 

    After March 2025 all Genesys Cloud users will be on the multipanel agent UI, so make the most of the opt-in period to ensure the smoothest transition for your agents! Opt in now! 

    What happens if our customer do not opt-in? Will the agents automatically have the multipanel gui after March 2025? At the moment we need to enable it using a role and let every agent switch it on manually. Is this not the case anymore after March 2025?

    Kind regards,

    Reinoud de Lange

    Hi @Reinoud de Lange

    Yes.  Agents will be moved to the multipanel gui after March 31, 2025.  The admin & agent controls will no longer be available after March 2025.

    Nicholas,

    I tried to create a role with the permissions:

    • Agent UI > Multi-panel Experience > All Permissions
    • Agent UI > Multi-panel Experience > Enable

    But they don't show up in the region: Europe (Ireland) - apps.mypurecloud.ie

    I am able to create it in the region: Europe (Frankfurt) - apps.mypurecloud.de

    How can I have the permissions in the Ireland region?

    Hi  @Nicholas Robinson, One of our customers is experiencing issues with the panel size for the Script tab. To resolve the issue we would like to know the panel widths we can choose. Is there documentation for it?

     @Nicholas Robinson

    As far as I know multi contextual panels currently include Script, Profile, Customer Journey, Canned Responses, Notes, and Wrap-up Codes. Are custom panels or future panels planned?

    Unfortunately not at this time, we are currently focused on enhancing the multi-contextual workflows and accessibility improvements.

    Hello Nicholas,

    I just sent an email to Tracey Parker to try and get a quick meeting on this topic. I couldn't find an email for you, but I assume you would be an important participant.

    Hello,

    This change can't be rolled out on the 31st of March. It isn't ready yet.

    Has anybody tested what happens when an agent handling a live call consults a group? If the agent in the group hangs up during the consult then the GUI gets stuck for the agent and you can't transfer or consult the call again. The buttons get grayed out for the 1st agent on the customer call, they then have to hang up the call and then call the customer back so they can be transferred. Its really poor for customer experience

    Hi @Louis Creely

    This is interesting feedback, considering we have multiple clients that have early adopted and have not experienced this issue. Have you submitted a support ticket?  Hence why it was so Important to begin utilizing the new environment when released in October.

    Thank you

    We have 3rd party support, I will be raising it with them as well. We're a finance company in the UK and tax year end (5th of April) is our busiest time of year. Its causing a lot of anxiety and we can't afford to be hit with any problems. I have witnessed the issue myself and been able to replicate it. Please can you confirm with testing if they considered consults to a group and what happens when the consulted agent hangs up the call.

    I would be happy to get in touch with someone to demonstrate the problem? I know that a lot of companies don't use groups because they don't work well side by side with your contact center solution. Can you confirm if your clients call groups as part of their customer journeys?

    Can't select transfer

    Hi @Louis Creely

    Despite our efforts to provide customers with a six-month window to prepare for the Multi-Panel experience, we will be extending access to the legacy agent workspace (targeting late Spring 2025). 

    That said, we strongly encourage your organization to continue rolling out Multi-Panel, as we will be delivering incremental enhancements throughout this extended period.

    To ensure a smooth transition, it's critical that you submit support tickets for any issues that render functionality inoperable within the Multi-Panel workspace. This will help us identify and address blockers quickly.

    Thanks,

    Hi @Nicholas Robinson

    That is awesome news and is massively appreciated. Is there a date in mind I can expect?

    I set up a demonstration and recorded the issue I was facing. To make sure this wasn't a network issue I conducted my test on my personal home network to confirm. I can provide the video if needed but I would like to avoid publishing on this channel because the demonstration uses my personal phone number. Should I continue to raise issues with our 3rd party support or is there a direct channel to Genesys Cloud I can use to help with the testing of this feature

    Kind Regards and with much appreciation,

    Louis

    Hi @Louis Creely

    I would continue to address the issue with your third party support.   I'm sure if they are unable to resolve it will make it to Genesys Cloud direct. (Also to avoid any support contractual obligations that may or may not be in place) 

    Your patience is much appreciated,

    Hi @Nicholas Robinson,

    Is there a way to resize any of the panels outside of the preset sizes (small - X Large). Our Script window that houses an iframe is still too small for our users in extra large and there can remain a lot of blank space. 

    Our early adopters are providing feedback that our script panel is too small for them to work and without some way of using the space or resizing the panel other than the defaults, this change will be seen as having lost some functionality.

    Please advise.
