= What's New in Version 3.18.0 =
The following features are new for Bright Pattern Contact Center version 3.18.0.
== Blending Inbound/Outbound Predictive Dialing ==
Starting from this release, the [[Contact-center-administrator-guide/Outbound-DialRules|Dialer]] better tracks inbound calls that may be handled by agents who are assigned to work for [[Contact-center-administrator-guide/Outbound-General|outbound campaigns]]. This significantly improves the operation of [[Contact-center-administrator-guide/Outbound-General#Predictive_Options|predictive campaigns]] in blended (inbound/outbound) environments.
For more information, see the ''Contact Center Administrator Guide'', section [[Contact-center-administrator-guide/Outbound-General|Outbound - General]].
== Dialable Metric for Wallboard ==
The [[Supervisor-guide/ListofCampaignMetrics#Dialable|Dialable]] metric is now available in the Wallboard application; it may be displayed in the [[Wallboard-builder-reference-guide/SingleStat|Single Statistic]] widget and [[Wallboard-builder-reference-guide/ServiceGrid|Service Grid]] widget. This metric provides the number of records within a campaign that can be dialed at this moment. For more information, see the ''Wallboard Builder Reference Guide''.
== Recording Retrieval API Method Extensions ==
The [[Recording-retrieval-api-specification/GetFile|Get File]] and [[Recording-retrieval-api-specification/GetMetadata|Get Metadata]] API methods now allow you to download recording files in the original stored format (GSM) without converting them to PCM format, as well as get audio recording metadata.
To use the API methods, you need to have the “[[Contact-center-administrator-guide/Privileges#Allow_recording_export_API_access|Allow recording export API access]]” privilege.
== User Management API Extensions ==
The User Management API now includes two new methods for automatically exporting detailed information: Export User Phone Numbers and Export Access Numbers.
Export User Phone Numbers returns users' phone extension, login ID, first name, last name, whether voicemail is activated, and whether a voicemail greeting is present.
Export Access Numbers returns access number data, including the number, media type, extension, name of the scenario used, and display name.
For more information, see the ''User Management API Specification'', section [[User-management-api-specification/ExportUserPhoneNumbers|Export User Phone Numbers]] and section [[User-management-api-specification/ExportAccessNumbers|Export Access Numbers]].
