Starting today, you can now switch the color theme of your Amazon WorkDocs Android application for a darker appearance. With Dark Mode, the appearance of the app is inverted so that instead of black text on a white background, you see white text on a black background. The design reduces the light emitted by your device’s screen while maintaining the minimum color contrast ratios required for readability. Dark mode is not only a user preference and personalization feature but also a supplemental accessibility setting that may improve visibility and reduce eye strain while preserving battery life.

AWS IoT SiteWise now supports ingestion of data that is up to 7 days old (extended from 15 mins). Late data may be ingested in to AWS IoT SiteWise using the AWS IoT SiteWise connector (which runs on your edge devices), AWS IoT Core or the BatchPutAssetPropertyValue API directly. This would enable you to transmit any accumulated data to AWS IoT SiteWise when recovering from intermittent connectivity issues. To get the most out of this feature, please upgrade to version 8 (latest) of IoT SiteWise connector that runs on AWS IoT Greengrass. AWS IoT SiteWise automatically calculates (or recalculates) related transforms or metrics on arrival of late data. To learn more, visit the late data ingestion page in the AWS IoT SiteWise user guide.

Starting today, you can access additional call attributes in your contact flow to build integrations that can authenticate incoming phone calls more accurately, reduce handle times, and enable greater personalization. Additional call attributes from telephony carriers, such as the geographic location of the voice equipment where the call originated, type of phone devices such as a landline or mobile, the number of network segments the call traversed, and other call origination information can be used to improve fraud detection and determine call treatment. For example, you can route trusted incoming calls to your typical agents while routing phone calls with potential fraud signals through a different contact flow to a specialized agent. You can also send phone calls originating outside the country to call center agents that have multilingual skills.
