API

Security Context

CXone Mpower now has a new concept called Security Context. This is a combination of security profile information, permissions, views, and so forth. This overall context determines what data a user (or application) can access and which features or apps render in the UI. During the authentication process, a securityContextId returns in the access token.

This is not a breaking change. It is an optional method of accessing user authorization data. For example, if you use the /roles/search API to retrieve this data, you may want to switch to the new Security Context method.

RSA Key Rotation

If you built an integration using CXone Mpower APIs, check that your authentication process supports RSA key rotation. CXone Mpower signs access and ID tokens with an RSA key. You can use the /auth/jwks API to validate this key. Your validation process should be dynamic, ensuring your app continues working when NiCE rotates its RSA keys. You should not hard-code RSA keys, nor store them in a wallet or other storage location. This helps your application meet current security standards.

Workforce Management

Adjust Forecasts Post-Scheduling

The Adjust Forecast Flow-through upon saving now allows you to update the forecast even after schedules are generated. Once the staffing step is completed and step 5 is done, your changes automatically reflect across Schedule Manager, Intraday, and staffing metrics, with no extra steps needed.

Previously, updating forecasts after scheduling required manual actions to sync changes across the system.

In this release, you can adjust future intervals directly to the forecast flow. This helps improve accuracy, reduce manual effort, and ensure real-time alignment across all planning tools.

Update Net Staffing Based on Standalone Simulations

You can now calculate Net Staffing using skill distribution data from standalone simulation results. This helps you make more accurate decisions when approving requests, adjusting intraday schedules, and optimizing staffing.

Previously, net staffing relied on static rules or legacy heuristics, which may not accurately reflect real-time changes, such as time-off requests, meetings, or skill re-assignments.

In this release, you can:

  • Use agent skill distribution per interval from simulation results to update net staffing.

  • Improve accuracy across Intraday Manager, Intraday Reports, Optimizer, and Auto-approvals.

  • Ensure the system reflects the latest agent movements and schedule changes.

  • Continue using legacy methods for past dates, while future dates benefit from simulation-driven updates.

This enhancement helps you maintain better staffing alignment with actual agent availability and expected service levels.

Reset Carryover Process to Clear Last Carry Over Time-off Values

Note: This feature is available with the Basic license.

The Reset Carryover Process now lets you undo the automatic carryover of time off. The impact of Reset causes the carryover column to go blank in the Time Off Summary page. If the process completes with incorrect rules or schedules, you can now reset and make necessary adjustments. Additionally, Reset carryover cancels any manual edits.

Previously, once the carryover process was completed, you could only edit errors. This limited your ability to correct issues and maintain audit accuracy.

In this release, you can reset the carryover process after making edits. This helps improve accuracy, reduces manual corrections, and ensures that your time-off policies are properly applied.

Define Date-Specific Approval Rules

Note: This feature is now available with the Advanced license.

You can now define Approval Rules that apply to specific calendar dates, such as holidays, blackout periods, or seasonal events. These date-specific rules help automate agent request approvals, minimize manual intervention, and ensure timely responses during critical scheduling periods.

Previously, approval rules applied broadly and required manual oversight, even for predictable scenarios.

In this release, you can:

  • Define rules for single dates or sporadic future dates.

  • Set date-specific allotments for time off requests.

  • Ensure only active rules are used for validation, with expired rules clearly indicated.

This enhancement enables you to tailor approval logic to the operational calendar, enhancing consistency and reducing delays.
