New in the Washington DC release

Schedule a meeting task within a case
View the availability of an employee and schedule a meeting while you’re working on an HR case. For example, you can schedule a meeting with a new hire as part of the onboarding process.
Add personal notes
Use personal notes to add information that is not finalized and must not be tracked within the case history. Working notes are accessible to all agents who are working on a case. In some cases, agents might not want private notes or rapidly changing information related to a case to be viewed by other agents.
Using checklists in Agent Workspace for HR Case Management
Add, edit, reorder, or delete checklist items from the contextual side panel.Previously, you could add, edit, reorder, or delete checklist items only from Core UI.
Secure documents
Add an extra layer of security on attachments that are linked to a case. Grant access to attachments with sensitive or private data to specific groups, users, user criteria or roles.
Page Configurations reference
Configure a few components on the landing page, record page, list page, and HR case creation page on the Configuration Settings page. Previously, you could configure these components using the UI Builder only.
Streamline HR case resolutions
Integrate a cloud contact center with HR Agent Workspace to enable employees to resolve their HR cases using interactive voice response. For cases that require a live agent, the system routes the call to an available agent, displays relevant caller information to the agent, and automatically captures data from the interaction.
