Profile Header information
Table 3. The Profile Header gives Service Officers indicators relating to the customer. These indicators help them tailor the discussions they have with customers.
The Profile header shows if the customer:
- lives in a remote area
- has a preferred language (other than English)
- currently has a nominee or is a nominee
- is registered for self service (and which service)
- has any issues blocking their ability to self service
Banner information
Table 4. Banners alert Service Officers to important information about the customer, for example:
- the customer has a special circumstance such as a Display on Access (DOA) DOC that must be viewed before interacting with the customer
- any agency priority, such as COVID 19 Stimulus payments
Alerts information
Table 5. Alerts show the Service Officer what is affecting the customer to enable a better interaction with them.
Alerts assist by showing:
- if the customer has any issues present on their issues screen
- if the customer's payment is currently suspended or recently cancelled
- the date of an upcoming or missed appointment
- the status of a customer claim and when it was submitted
- if the customer is due to report or has missed their reporting day
- if the customer has a debt and if any debt arrangements are due to expire
Smart IVR Cards information
Table 6. Smart IVR cards show Service officers what happened before the customer reached them, that is:
- personalised messages given to the customer, or
- tasks they were asked to action
This saves the Service Officer:
- repeating messages to the customer, or
- asking them about activities they have already done, for example:
- Update Phone number
- Confirm Family Assistance Income estimate
This also help the Service Officer decide if any more checks are needed.
Cards information
Table 7. Most information on Customer Overview displays as cards. Cards show the interactions between a customer and the agency in date order for the last 28 days. (With the exception of SMS and push notifications which display for only 7 days.) Cards aggregate for the same activity type done on the same day.
Cards highlight the customer journey to date by showing:
- letters and other correspondence the customer has received from the agency. Letters can be viewed as the customer sees them (PDFs)
- the interactions the customer has had in the Smart IVR before reaching a Service Officer. This saves the Service Officer from repeating messages or completing activities the customer has already done or attempted to self-serve
- the previous interactions the customer has had with the agency, such as:
- Service Centre visit
- online and app activities
- phone calls and push notifications
