New features
Feature | Description |
Distribution Console - queue levels | New Queues sub-tab added to Distribution Console. This shows the queue levels for each distributor - total and available (determined by filter criteria) |
Distribution Console - team/team member coverage | New Availability sub-tab added to Distribution Console. This calendar display feature shows coverage by team and by selected tags. E.g. show availability this week of Spanish language speakers within a team. |
Distribution Team - shift patterns | Rather than creating and maintaining unique distribution hours for multiple teams and team members its now possible to create and re-use shift patterns. |
Distribution Team - allow selection of objects from other managed packages | Previously when creating a team the list of objects that could be selected excluded objects from installed managed packages. It is now possible to access objects from other packages by selecting a checkbox. |
Distribution Team - add / remove team member UI updates |
|
Distribution Team - team detail. Distribution logging option | New checkbox added to team detail page to disable Distribution Logging for a team. This is designed to avoid generating large amounts of logs for teams dealing with high volumes e.g. queue to queue distribution teams. |
Distributor filters, additional field types allowed | It is now possible to use Email, Date and DateTime type fields on distributor filters. |
Distributor algorithms - weighted distribution as an option | Weightings removed as an algorithm and added as a checkbox. This enables you to select weighted assignment in addition to the main algorithm (round robin, sticky assignment etc) |
Distributor testing tool | From a distributor you can click test and enter a salesforce record Id e.g. Lead Id in order to check why certain Leads / Cases are not being assigned (also accessible from the Queues tab on the console). |
Configuration change history | A new history features tracks changes made to Distribution Engine configuration. History tracking has been added to Team, Team member, Distributor and Holiday regions. This is visible at the bottom of each page where history is tracked. |
Distribution OoO - All-team calendar view | Calendar view now shows OoO entries for a whole team |
Distribution logs - status on assignment | The status on assignment has been added to logs. For example the status of a Lead as it was assigned by DE. |
Distribution logs - show sticky & lookup matches | Icons added to distribution logs to show if this was a sticky or lookup owner matched assignment. |
Distribution settings - minor UI updates |
|
Distribution settings - view licensed users | New page shows all licensed users, this is accessible from the Distribution Settings tab. |
Distribution Engine API methods | The Distribution Engine managed package includes DistributionEngineGlobal class which call be called by customers wanting to write integrations with Distribution Engine. 2 new methods have been added to this API.
|
Defects resolved
Name | Description |
Distribution Engine aborting on large team numbers | It was possible for Distribution Engine scheduler to hit Salesforce limits and abort. This issue would only affect customers with large numbers of teams. The Distribution Engine includes an internal calculator to determine current and future resource usage. There was a discrepancy in this calculation which has now been resolved. |
Distribution logs not showing after custom object deleted | If a custom object was being distributed then subsequently deleted, the Distribution Logs page showed an error. This has now been resolved. |
Sticky assignment team/distributor level bug | The sticky assignment algorithm could in certain situations fail to correctly respect the team / distributor level setting. This has now been resolved. |
Locking issues | Conflicts can sometimes arise where Distribution Engine and a user are both accessing the same data. This causes a locking exception. Retries have now been added to combat this and give Distribution Engine a chance try again by which time the conflict will in most cases have gone. |
Stop queue assignment lead & case field updates | Stop update of DE lead and case fields (i.e. Is Distributed, Last distributed… etc) on distributions by queue based teams. |
Distributor filter logic bug in distributor detail | Incorrect soql string built when using filter logic and where a filter argument contains a number. |
Availability for queues on Console bug | Availability status correct for queue based teams |
Records created after run has started should be ignored | If a record is created after a DE scheduled run has started, it could be missed by an earlier distributor but picked up later, so result in being distributed by wrong distributor. This has now been corrected so that records created after the run has started are ignored. |
Trim 'in' operator arguments for string field on distributor filter | Additional whitespace in the "in" operator for text fields prevented it finding matches. Whitespace is now trimmed automatically |
After deleting a field used in a filter can't open a distributor to change or delete it. | Deleting a field which is being used by a distributor causes an exception on the distributor detail page. This is now resolved. |
