            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We usually have our trade requests restricted to no more than 2 days at a time between 2 agents. We just completed a shift bid and want the agents to be able to swap their new shifts by allowing trades of up to 7 days and 14 lines between 2 agents. </p><p>I successfully updated the complexity to allow 7 days/14lines by editing our existing rule. However, agents' trade requests are failing on a segment boundary rule that was set to apply to Full-Day requests.  I updated that to "does not matter," and they are still failing.  Does anyone have any good tips for this? Do I need to create a new segment boundary rule? Any help would be appreciated!</p><attachment data-type="attachment" data-id="KXZCUbMY0a63tNwuepTam"></attachment><p> </p>]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>About this guide</h2>
<p>
  To view the complete guide, click the PDF attachment above.
</p>
<p>
  This guide describes the refreshed visual experience in Aspect Cloud Workforce™ v26 and compares it with v25. It covers changes to shared controls and familiar pages, what remains unchanged, and minor improvements to recording downloads. The examples focus on appearance and orientation rather than new functionality; established workflows, data, permissions, and existing configuration remain unchanged.
</p>

<h2>Audience and User Roles</h2>
<p>
  This guide is intended for users preparing for or getting familiar with the v26 interface. Available pages and features depend on your assigned role, permissions, licensed features, and organization configuration.
</p>

<h2>What you can do</h2>
<ul>
  <li>Compare v25 and v26 screens to recognize refreshed navigation, dashboards, dialogs, grids, and date pickers.</li>
  <li>Identify visual changes in Schedule Editor, Intra-Day Staffing Balances, Real-Time Adherence (RTA), Forecaster, and Performance dashboards without changing familiar workflows.</li>
  <li>Use familiar page titles, task names, labels, and tooltips to identify restyled controls and icons.</li>
  <li>Understand what carries forward, including saved workspaces, favorites, filters, grid preferences, and configured activity and schedule colors.</li>
  <li>Recognize the Quality Management recording download changes: MP4 requests, capture-date-and-time filenames, and messages when downloads fail.</li>
</ul>

<h2>What is in the full guide</h2>
<ul>
  <li><strong>What to expect</strong> – Introduces changes to colors, typography, icons, spacing, and shared interface controls.</li>
  <li><strong>What remains the same</strong> – Explains how workflows, data, configuration, permissions, and saved preferences carry forward, and when the refresh becomes available.</li>
  <li><strong>Minor changes beyond appearance</strong> – Describes recording download improvements and restyled toolbar icons.</li>
  <li><strong>Visual comparisons</strong> – Shows before-and-after examples of 16 familiar pages and controls, including schedules, staffing, adherence, forecasting, and dashboards.</li>
  <li><strong>Areas included in the refresh</strong> – Lists the Workforce, Quality, and Performance experiences covered by the visual update.</li>
  <li><strong>Tips for getting comfortable with v26</strong> – Provides orientation tips for recognizing familiar pages, actions, and controls.</li>
  <li><strong>Frequently asked questions</strong> – Answers questions about workflows, access, saved settings, schedule colors, font availability, screen variations, and upgrade timing.</li>
</ul>

<h2>Key search terms</h2>
