We are excited to announce the Evolve Contact Suite (ECS) v5.3.7 release that includes new capabilities for our customers that will be available on February 13, 2022.

What do you need to know?

  1. Any changes made to your environment must be fully deployed via Setup before the upgrade and previously deployed versions will no longer be available after the upgrade.
  2. If your organization is staffed during the maintenance, they will experience a short period of downtime (less than 10 minutes).
  3. Users will get a notification on their first login after the upgrade to accept and download the newest update. Please instruct your users to accept the application update.
  4. For more details about the steps each customer can take after the release, see the Post Release Testing article. 


Technical Release Notes are accessible via 5.3.7 - Evolve IP Knowledge Base - The Evolve IP Knowledge Base.


This release contains the following feature enhancements:

  1. Allow Agents and Supervisors using a secondary HPBX device (UC1 or Teams) to switch from using a primary or secondary device in Settings; this capability can be utilized as Agents/ Supervisors move between different locations.
  2. New link to allow customer input accessible on the ECS Portal.
  3. Agent in Break state cannot initiate a private interaction to a Business Process and is presented with an error message; Agent must change state to Ready, Backoffice or Handle Outgoing to initiate a private interaction to a Business Process or Channel.
  4. The formula for predictive dialer changed how phone interactions are sent to queues;  it was updated to include idle agents with busy agents that are about to end their current call.  The time frame used to count the number of successful phone interactions that an Agent completed was extended from 5 to 15 minutes.  This count is used to determine a more realistic average in the formula, and will decrease the number of abandoned calls from predictive dialer.  The formula used to determine the average based on the length of time it takes an Agent to complete a call before being idle was also updated to increase the calls taken by Agents.  Overall, this will result in more phone interactions between Agents and callers. 


This release contains the following bug fixes:

  1. In Setup, deleting a value in a load allowance deletes the entire combination.
  2. In Setup, changes to load allowance values were requiring a full deploy instead of a light deploy; a tooltip of this behavior was missing and needed to be added.
  3. In Setup, the selections for Change Interaction Origin on Business Process Transfer in the setup for Business Structure should only have options for "Enabled" or "Disabled"; "Default" was incorrectly an option for selection.
  4. In Setup, an error message was incorrectly displayed when testing an outgoing email message.

  10. Supervisor could only rate a call recording from 0-9 in the Recording Monitor; a rating of 10 could not be used.

  23. Agent could incorrectly submit remarks to interaction via "Add remarks" when no remarks were added.
