What's new in 8x8 Work for Mobile 12.2 release?

The 12.2 release introduces key enhancements designed to improve performance, accessibility, and overall usability on mobile devices.

Detailed Views for Supervisor Widgets

Note: This feature is available exclusively on iOS mobile devices.

Supervisors using iOS devices can now access detailed information about key performance widgets by tapping them directly in the Supervisor screen. This enhancement provides actionable insights across agents and queues.

How to view detailed metrics:

  1. Navigate to the Supervisor screen.
  2. Tap a relevant KPI widget.
  3. A dedicated view will open, showing metrics for the current date:

    • The average metric value at the queue level.
    • The average metric value at the agent level.
    • A list of related agents.
  4. Optionally, tap an agent to:

    • View their details (email address, extension number, site).
    • Start communication via call, video, or message.
    • View a list of assigned queues, and enable or disable any queues directly.

These detailed views help supervisors track agent activity and evaluate queue performance more effectively.
