New features and changes in version 12.1.5

Unica Interact 12.1.5 includes the following new features and changes:

Enhanced Coverage Analysis

Coverage analysis has a new UI and the following additional capabilities:

  • Created a new UI with an enhancement usability for coverage analysis, which is separated from the existing simulator tab, for a better work experience.
  • Added a dedicated access permission, to coverage analysis and simulator tabs, for more granular security control.
  • Parameters are supported for the underlying API invocation to provide customizable simulation scenarios.
  • Any configured Interact run time server group can be used for executing each individual simulation request.
  • More detailed information is displayed when running long simulation or exporting jobs.
  • Coverage analysis can be launched via a shell script, outside the Interact design time web application, with which cron jobs can be leveraged for better scheduling.

Data Governance

To offer better protection on sensitive profile data, a new feature has been added to selectively hide or mask profile attributes when they are returned to the client.

In-place Offer Summary View

To help more easily manage offer arbitration rules, Interact adds the capability of viewing the summary of offers and offer lists in the place such rules are being managed.

  • Strategies
  • FlexOffers
  • Triggered Actions
  • A/B Testing

Timezone Support on Most Objects

When a date or timestamp is defined for an object in the design time, such time or timestamp will be automatically adjusted to the time zone of the Interact run time environment while Interact processes requests.

Reusable Profile Mapping and Triggered Action Endpoints

An interactive channel can be configured to have another interactive channel as its parent. When this is done, the profile data mapping and the endpoints for triggered actions, defined in the parent channel, can be used in the child channel as though they were defined in the child channel.

Miscellaneous Enhancements

  • Interact can be enabled to connect to external endpoints via HTTP proxy, in both Interact design time and run time.
  • Implemented performance optimization, in the Interact design time, to handle large amount of offers and segments while working on Strategies and FlexOffers.
  • In Deliver gateway, the changes on Deliver template are dynamically reflected in the Interact UI for the existing gateways.
  • Optionally record life span of Interact sessions, and the size of loaded profile data and Interact sessions, in the log file and extended JMX metrics.
