Updates inspired by our Onflo community
We’re excited to deliver updates and refinements that improve the overall Onflo user experience, inspired by your feedback. Here’s a look at what’s new:
- New Role! Resource Center Manager: System Administrators can now assign Resource Center Managers under sections in the Resource Center to help maintain your district’s Resource Center in Onflo. These managers can update and maintain content for the specific sections they’re assigned to.
- Resource expiration dates: Some resources, like school calendars, have a set lifespan. With this update, you can now assign an expiration date to resources, ensuring they automatically go offline when no longer needed.
- Simplified resource selection for Onflo Chatbot Profiles: System Administrators and Resource Managers can now apply a resource or FAQ to one or multiple profiles during the resource creation process, simplifying content management.
- Updated text editor for ticket replies: We’ve made replying to tickets smoother and more user-friendly. Enjoy updated text editor features, spell check, and the ability to right-click to copy/paste — so you can focus more on conversations.
Ticket Manager
- View CC'd email addresses on Ticket and Reply All in Ticket Manager: You’ll now see "Other recipients" on tickets, which includes those who were cc'd on the ticket. You can also "reply all" from the ticket.
- Label User as Name instead of “Me”: You will now see your name assigned to tickets instead of “Me.”
- Generate AI Themes for past ticket data: Building on our AI capabilities for ticket management, you can now view AI ticket themes in past tickets. This is important for Overview Dashboard enhancements coming in the next release.
Settings and User Management
- Activate users from the front end: System Administrators will now be able to easily activate users under Settings, saving time when onboarding new users.
Critical Alerts
- Improved Critical Alert UI for mobile and web: Critical Alerts will now have a Critical label at the Inbox level for both mobile and web. Additionally, you can group Critical Alerts and sort by Priority/Status.
- Enhanced privacy controls for private topics: You have expressed the need for greater control over the privacy of tickets submitted to private topics. Previously, safety teams were automatically included in tickets flagged as critical. With this update, the topic owner will now be notified of critical tickets and can decide whether to involve safety or security teams.
Telephony
- Disable Voicemail for Queue: For districts that leverage our Telephony and Call Center features, you can now customize your settings to disable voicemail, prompting callers to call back later or try a different channel, such as submitting a ticket.
- Queue Prioritization: This makes it possible for Call Center users to answer calls based on the priority assigned to the queue, allowing priority calls to jump the line. A recent update allows supervisors to see the priority within the Queue Management page.
Call Center
- Updated accessibility for Call Center dashboard: Previously, only System Administrators could view the Call Center dashboard, but now department leaders can access their specific queues and reports without full admin privileges. This mirrors the existing permissions for Category Administrators, ensuring department leaders have visibility into relevant data while maintaining appropriate access control.
Onflo Chatbot
- Simplified resource selection for Onflo Chatbot Profiles: System Administrators and Resource Managers can now apply a resource or FAQ to one or multiple profiles during the resource creation process.
- Tailored customer experience based on Customer Type: Onflo Chatbot, our AI-powered chatbot, now offers customized responses based on Customer Type — employees, parents, students, and community members — for a more personalized experience.
- Conversational chatbot interactions: Sometimes, customers start a chatbot ticket with a simple “hello.” Previously, these interactions were logged as unanswered questions. To provide a more friendly and conversational experience, the chatbot can now engage in basic pleasantries.
