Key features

Key features
Work View and Team View provide key features and capabilities that allow employees, supervisors, and
managers to perform various tasks and view information directly from their device instead of through the
web interface.
Work View and Team View are continuously improved and updated. To enable new features or
capabilities, employees and managers only need to upgrade the application installed on their device.
The apps can be download to devices with specific OS versions:
• Android: All Android devices running version 6 (Marshmallow)or higher.
• iOS: All iOS devices running iOS version 10.x or higher.

Secure sign in
The mobile apps support the form-based and OpenID authentication methods.
In form-based authentication, users sign in using their WFO user name and password.
If OpenID authentication is used, users authenticate themselves through a third-party identity provider
(IdP) who is then responsible for confirming the user's identity to WFO. Only the identity provider has
access to the user's password.
The following standard IdPs are supported: Google, Azure AD, Okta, OneLogin, PingFederate,
ADFS, and Auth0.

 If you require an identity provider that is not yet supported, please contact your customer
representative.

To sign in to the mobile apps, users first enter the URL defined for mobile access and their WFO user
name. The mobile app calls the Mobile Gateway, which calls WFO to understand which authentication
method to present to the user:
       If the authentication method is OpenID, the IdP's sign in page is displayed, allowing the user to enter
their OpenID user name and password.
       If the authentication method is form-based (traditional LDAP or database authentication), the mobile
app prompts the user for their WFO password.

For more information about the mobile architecture and mobile security, refer to the Mobile Networking
and Security White Paper.

Key features

Mobile Gateway
The mobile apps require installing the Mobile Gateway server-side component.
The Mobile Gateway provides the interface between the WFO system solutions and mobile client
applications (iOS or Android based). The Mobile Gateway enables secure sign-in to the mobile apps and
it also enables mobile push notifications:

Verint® Mobile Workforce Optimization™ Mobile Apps Release Notes 26

Confidential and Proprietary Information of Verint Systems Inc.


Key features

       Secure sign in: The Mobile Gateway provides enhanced security for signing in to the mobile apps.
The user name and password are replaced with tokens, ensuring no private information is stored on the
device.
       Mobile push notifications: The Mobile Gateway communicates with Google Firebase Cloud
Messaging (FCM) and Apple Push Notification (APN) services to send push notification messages to
the device when, for example, an employee's schedule changes or their shift bidding status changes.

For enhanced security, a proxy can be configured on the Mobile Gateway for outbound communication.
The Mobile Gateway provides several features:
       High availability: The Mobile Gateway provides high availability by installing more than one Mobile
Gateway connected to a Load Balancer. The Mobile Gateway supports high availability in active-
active mode ensuring that the fall of a single server does not damage the availability of the mobile
solution
       Support for cloud: The Mobile Gateway can be installed in a cloud solution (private or public), with
one Mobile Gateway serving one WFO server.
       Single-server configuration tool: The Mobile Gateway contains a single-server configuration tool
that enables all basic configuration to be done through a single location. Mobile Gateway configuration
is not done through Enterprise Management within WFO.
       SNMP reporting: Mobile Gateway reports the failure and recovery of its components through SNMP
message so that the server can be easily monitored by the customer's IT.

The Mobile Gateway communicates with a cloud certificate service which updates the Verint APNS
certificate yearly using the Apple Notification Service.
The Mobile Gateway is enhanced and updated through the release of KBs. Always install the latest KB
for the Mobile Gateway server. To verify the latest KB, in VerintConnect go to Tools & Resources >
WFO Patches, Desktop Apps, Tools.
The latest KB always has full backward compatibility so that a V15.2 Mobile Gateway can work against
a V15.1 WFO server.

Mobile Device Management (MDM)


The mobile apps can be distributed to users (employees, supervisors, and managers) using the
organization's MDM, as long as the MDM solution supports distribution of public apps (for example,
AirWatch). This distribution method allows MDM tunneling and remote wiping. The apps, which are
installed through the App store or Google Play, are not compiled with any MDM SDK.
In the MDM, administrators can use AppConfig to auto-populate the URL and user name fields that are
presented to users in the sign in screen.
To simplify the sign in process, administrators can use the MDM's AppConfig to configure the URL and
user name fields in the mobile app's sign in screen so that these fields are auto-populated when users
sign in.

Confidential and Proprietary Information of Verint Systems Inc.


Key features

User Behavior Analytics (UBA)


To increase usability and employee satisfaction with the mobile apps, and to provide the right solution to
the customer, the apps collects anonymous data about user behavior and usage of the app. The
information collected does not contain any personal or sensitive data and does not contain user or
organization identification. The information helps fine tune the features and actions employees can
perform in the mobile app and helps focus on the right features and areas that can benefit from further
investment and enrichment.
User behavior analytics data collection is configurable and can be controlled through the Mobile
Gateway configuration.

 It is recommended to keep the default UBA configuration in the Mobile Gateway


configuration (UBA data is collected).

Localization
Work View and Team View support French, (simplified) Chinese, Portuguese (Brazil), Dutch
(Netherlands), Russian, Spanish (EUR), Japanese, and German localization. If the user sets their
device's language to any of the supported languages, texts that originate from the app are localized.
Texts received from WFO appear in the language selected in the system. If a user sets their device to a
language that is not localized, texts that originate from the app appear in English.

Mobile privileges
To access capabilities in the mobile apps, users must have the relevant mobile privileges assigned to
them. For each capability in the mobile app, a 'for Mobile' privilege exists. The 'for Mobile' privilege
matches the web interface privilege and enables users to access the same capability in the mobile app as
in the web interface.

Accessibility
Work View
The Work View sign in page now supports voice over in accessibility mode. Voice over functionality can
be turned on in the device's settings.

Team View
Team View supports voice over in accessibility mode. Voice over functionality can be turned on in the
device's settings.
