You can use this business function to implement enhancements to communication-enabled business processes and interaction center (IC) functionality. Enhancements made to IC functions include multisessioning, interactive scripting, messaging, reverse proxy server integration, asynchronous processing, and account identification. The integration of communication management software (CMS) into communication-enabled business processes for CRM and IC business roles has also been enhanced, including improved context transfer capabilities and the extension of channels. The communication dialogs including Dialpad, Transfer, Warm Transfer, and Conference Call were redesigned. These enhancements speed up response times, make it easier to engage experts, and enable more efficient collaboration in customer-facing processes. They also speed up the cross-system shared service processes and reduce the response times for a service request. You can use this business function to integrate the sample Product Support task-based user interface (taskbased UI) into the interaction center (IC). The Product Support task-based UI has been provided as an example for developing IC task-based UIs and as a basis for custom configurations, for technical consultants. For information about the necessary development activities, see the basic settings for the WebClient UI framework in SAP Solution Manager. To integrate the sample Product Support task-based UI into the WebClient UI, you have to set up a corresponding business role. For more information, see SAP Note 1517968. On a task-based UI, the user is guided step by step through the various activities required for completing a task, such as logging a service ticket. The sample Product Support task-based UI in the IC includes all the steps necessary to create a new customer record, register a product, log a service ticket, and complete the interaction.

Adjust column widths in the rule policy search results list, and in the Policy, Conditions, and Actions assignment blocks Add a subnode or an object at the same level as the current position in the hierarchy of draft rules Depending on your position in the hierarchy, you can add a new rule folder, rule, or subrule.
