Storage Services
Ability to Use Custom Storage
Customers can optionally configure and use their own storage on Amazon Web Services (AWS) for files such as call recording and call logs. Previously, customers did not have this option and could only use the default locations for NICE inContact Cloud Storage Services. This feature must be enabled in the customer's business unit.
Support for Same-Day Actions
For rules affecting both the active and long-term storage types, 0 is an acceptable value in the After (# of Days) field. For example, users can create a rule to archive recordings immediately by entering 0 in this field. Previously, users had to specify a non-zero value in the After (# of Days) field, meaning that every rule had a delay in execution of at least one day.
