Capabilities rolling out in December 2023
Alterian Real-Time CX Platform - DDE 4.28/CX 6.33
Release Date: 11/2023
Summary
Improved usability when coming back from a system that has timed out.
Version Cache Issues:
When you first enter Alterian CX after an upgrade, there's a possibility that the version will be incorrectly cached, preventing you from accessing the latest version.
The easiest way to determine if the incorrect version is by looking at the personas functionality. If it still has “preview” you have the older version. The other method s by navigating to "Help" at the top of the page and checking the cxVersion
in the system information. Depending on your upgrade status, this should either be CX 6.32.1 or CX 6.33.
If neither of these values is displayed or the “Preview” label still shows, you will need to clear your cache.
To resolve, click on the three dots in the top right of the Chrome header bar, then go to More Tools and select Clear Browsing Data. Choose "Cached images and files," and clear the data. This action will correct the issue for all sessions.
General
Improved timeout usability
Now when your CX solution times out, you will be allowed to log back into one tab, and the others should re-open, showing the original page they were on.
Grids Update
Many pages utilize grids. We have now standardized these grids in various screens.
Opp Matrix
Opps matrix now has a reset filter button
Opps matrix now has a reset filter button.
Rules
Client search available for users with over five clients
If you have more than five clients, you can now search to find the client you want to display.
Steps
DDE Rule has Fire and Forget setting to improve performance
Where you do not require a response back from the system you are calling, you can set the Fire and Forget flag. This continues processing without waiting for a response, making processing quicker.
Alterian Queue will update expiry on fields read into the queue messages
The Alterian Queue allows you to automatically append data stored in a single table to the event being created. Alterian currently uses this to append your Persona and Customer Attribute values to the events created. To ensure this data is not rolled off, the Alterian Queue will now read and then write to update the expiry times (TTLs).
This is currently not configurable from the 18 months set for the Customer Attributes.
Alterian Queue step now supports bundling of events for non-FIFO queues
The Alterian Queue will bundle Messages together to improve performance when using our non-FIFO queues and ensure key events occur in the correct order. Please check with Alterian support before altering these values as you need to be on appropriate versions of Journey Orchestration and Journey Analytics.
Sandboxing Function
To facilitate testing, experimentation, or the execution of newly designed code without compromising the integrity of the overall system we now provide a Sandboxing function.
Journey Analytics
Data Transform
This release contains the following additional capabilities in the Data Transform. The filters and search outlined below work in conjunction with each other to produce the final display.
Pre Transform Search
It is now possible to perform a search on the pre-transformed Location to allow better review of Locations that need a Transform applied
Post Transform Search
It is now possible to perform a search on the post-transformed Location to allow better review of Locations that have been transformed to review the new Locations in preparation for use in analytics.
Transform State Filter
It is now possible to filter the view to only those Locations that have been Transformed, that haven’t been transformed or a show all. Important that the “ucase” function, as it does not “change” the location string, is not included as a Transform in this view, so untransformed Locations may still have had a ucase applied.
Location Mapping
General UI improvements in the Location Mapping screen with row level multi-select and row level options along with the removal of the previous pagination UI for a more traditional scroll method for easier view and multi mapping.
