**Access Management**

Access Management in IFS Loops gives a detailed view of all users in the system. Here you can manage & modify user roles, workspace settings & more.&#x20;

A workspace is where users of one team can work together with other team users to manage tickets without compromising security.&#x20;

Each team can have its own workspace, these can be configured under Change Workspace>Add Workspace.

**SSO Settings**

IFS Loops supports any SSO product that supports OpenID based authentication & authorization.&#x20;

Single sign-on (SSO) is  a method that allows users to log in to multiple applications with one set of credentials.&#x20;

In IFS Loops you can configure SSO by navigating to  Settings>Organization>SSO Settings.&#x20;

**Org Settings**

* Timezone - Select the timezone where your helpdesk operates to ensure accurate timestamps across all tickets & activities.
* Fiscal - Define your organization’s fiscal year start date. This is commonly used in accounting & reporting, and may vary depending on your business practices or regional standards.
* Primary ticketing system - Choose the main ticketing system that your organization will use to manage & track support tickets.
* Historic start date of ticket - Set the start date from which tickets should be included when the “ALL” time range is selected. Tickets created before this date will be excluded from “ALL” time range views.
* Set ticket summary view default tab - Select which tab should appear by default in the ticket summary view from the available dropdown options.
* IFS Loops API token - The API token is a unique key that authenticates requests between IFS Loops & other connected systems. Use it to securely send or receive data through IFS Loops API.
* Google authentication - Enable Sign-in with Google to securely log in & access IFS Loops using your Google account credentials.

**Security**

Define the data retention period within IFS Loops to control how long information is stored before automatic removal. You can also delete data for a specific agent by entering their email address and selecting “Purge data for this user.” Only that agent’s data will be removed, while all other records remain unaffected.

Additional security options include enabling “Do not store customer comments” and configuring Redact regexes. Redact regexes use regular expressions to identify and hide sensitive details such as phone numbers, email addresses, or social security numbers by replacing them with secure placeholders.

<summary>Scoring</summary>

*Scores* are an indicator of importance and hence suggest prioritizing certain tickets, customers or agents over the others at that time.

Scores create an *early warning system* that helps prioritize tickets or customers based on data driven attributes like sentiment, KPI's or even just inactivity.

All scores are a number between 0 and 100. The higher the number the greater the priority and hence the need for attention

All scores are defined on an entity (like a ticket, customer or agent) using attributes related to the entity and a weight (0 - 100) assigned to each attribute signifying the importance of that attribute in the overall score.

**Impact Score**

TheLoops’ Impact Score helps you better understand the impact (or priority) of a ticket using a variety of factors that go across support metrics, customer data, sentiment among many others.

*Impact score* is calculated by by a weighted ranking algorithm that leverages fields from related applications, derived KPI's, extracted sentiment signals and other predicted fields extracted by theLoops platform.

Out of the box, we use factors such as:

* Customer Importance (For example: Annual Recurring Revenue, Renewal Days, #of Open Tickets)
* Sentiment (Frustration, Blocked, etc)
* Urgency (Number Of Customer Interaction, etc)
* Ticket Metrics (Number of Bounces, etc)

Sentiment analytics in TheLoops can be extremely useful and actionable, as you can click into the nth node ie. the support ticket and see the source of the sentiment expressed by the user.

This is not only a source of feedback for your product team, but also a way for you to act on it and be proactive with your support strategy.

Scores in theLoops platform are highly configurable both by adding new attributes or adjusting the weights of any attribute

Add new attribute and/or change the weightage to effect the impact score.

**Risk Score**

TheLoops’ Customer Risk score helps you better understand the overall health of a customer from several dimensions like recent sentiment, escalations, time to renewal, expansion opportunities etc.

The score is calculated at the customer level and utilizes data from ticketing systems like Zendesk, escalation systems like Jira and CRM systems like Salesforce.

Out of the box, we use factors such as:

* % Of Open Customer Tickets
* % Of Open Escalations
* Sentiment Score
* Product Usage Trends

TheLoops’ Risk Score helps you better understand the likelihood of the customer churning based on the attributes that make up the score. The Risk score can also be used strategically to prioritize tickets and product features that will positively influence and retain the customer.

Customer Retention is everyone’s responsibility. Customer Success, Support, Sales and even Engineering leaders can all benefit from getting visibility to the Risk score.

Check out the Customer Explore help article to see how you and your team can use the Risk Score when viewing customers in TheLoops.

Scores in theLoops platform are highly configurable both by adding new attributes or adjusting the weights of any attribute

All Customer scores use customer dimensions and aggregated KPI's from ticket and agent. Add new attribute and/or change the weightage to effect the impact score.

**Attention Score**

TheLoops’ Customer Attention score helps you understand the current support experience of your customers in terms of attention being paid to them.

The score is calculated at the customer level and utilizes data from ticketing systems like Zendesk, escalation systems like Jira and CRM systems like Salesforce.

We use factors like

* Number of Interactions
* % Of SLA Breaches
* % of Open Tickets
* Average First Response Time

The Attention score can be used to measure deliver on Service Level Agreements committed to the customer while optimizing support agents’ time and efforts so that they are paying attention to the right customers.

Check out the Customer Explore help article to see how you and your team can use the Attention Score when viewing customers in TheLoops.

All Customer scores use customer dimensions and aggregated KPI's from ticket and agent. Add new attribute and/or change the weightage to effect the impact score.

**Sentiment Score**

A high sentiment score indicated a risk of escalation. Although escalation prediction depends on many more factors than just the sentiment.

Sentiment Score is a number between 0 and 100.

* A higher score indicates a highly positive sentiment.
* A sentiment score of 50 indicates a neutral sentiment.
* A low score indicates a negative sentiment.

TheLoops extracts sentiment signals from every customer interaction on any channel at real-time. These signals are used to take proactive actions that increase customer satisfaction, prevent escalations and hence improve the customer experience as a whole.

<summary>Topics</summary>

A *topic* is a subject, phrase or intent that is prevalent within your customer conversations. Some examples of *topics* are “*analytics not working*”, “*unable to login*”, “*how to apply data retention*”, etc.

Topics can be auto-derived from the data by AI without any user intervention based on volume, recency, rate of change, etc. They can also be user defined using the 'Manage Topics' in Settings.

If some of these *topics* have a significant amount of customer tickets or conversations, then TheLoops platform identifies these *topics* as *trending topics.*

**Analyzing Topics**

Topics can be combined with data from other integrations to create impactful insights that can be used to trigger automations or just provisioning the right kind of information on the agent workspace. The Loops UI provides many ways of analyzing trends for example ***by sentiment, by time, by hierarchy, etc***

**Trend View**

TheLoops platform identifies To*pics* that have a significant amount of customer tickets or conversations as \*trending topics\* *or Trends. Trends* can help you see if certain topics are more popular and they can lead to hidden issues within the product/service features. These trends could be related to *product intent, performance, security, processes*, etc.

**Trends**

*Trends* can help you see if certain topics are more popular and they can lead to hidden issues within the product/service features

And since you can control which topics you want to ‘listen’ to, they can be very focused on priority topics. Some examples are such as product performance, security, connectivity etc.

<summary>Automation</summary>

Take your insights a step further with automations. *Automation* reduces human effort in performing repeated tasks, automates data flow between applications, etc. This feature allows you to create custom low-code workflows combining all your support applications into one cohesive process. When creating *automations,* theLoops workflow editor is an intuitive interface that lets you combine a sequence of trigger, tasks and decisions to define both synchronous (*actions)* and asynchronous (*event flows)* processes.

**Types of Automation in TheLoops:**

**Actions**

Actions are automations, that require (or must have) a human intervention (usually trigger). The trigger for all actions is usually a form. These actions can be placed in an application that natively supports theLoops widget.

**Event Flows**

Event flows are automations, that perform a sequence of tasks based on an event (like *New Ticket Comment, Status Changed or Assignee Changed)* occurring on an application. These automations are generally used to keep data in sync across tool or provide insights generated by theLoops to external ticketing systems.

**Alerts**

Alerts are automations, primarily used to notify users about new insights, anomalies, changes in scores etc.
