Ease of Configuration for Diagnostic Settings:

Administrators can now configure the Unified Service Desk diagnostics options from the consolidated Audit and Diagnostics page in the solution. You can enable

  1. Exit Monitoring: To generate comprehensive diagnostic reports on local machine in event of a fatal error. You can also configure where these reports will be stored, the sizes of each logs, verbosity of diagnostics logs and whether you want to collect a full process dump in event of the error.

Decrease Average Handling Time using PreFetch

Developers can now configure a PreFetch option on their CRM Page hosted controls. This feature gets the entity data in the current context of Unified Service Desk and helps agent get the relevant information without needing to wait for the CRM page to load. A simple example of its usage can be during session starts, where the Case information can be made available to the session using PreFetch, helping the agents prepare for the session, without needing to wait for the full Case entity page to load, thus saving precious seconds.

Avoid Unified Service Desk freezes using RunAsync

Developers can now use RunAsync parameter with the CreateEntity action. This ensures that the action does not block Unified Service Desk while the action is being executed

Increase Agent Productivity using Keyboard Shortcuts

Developers can now configure shortcuts for toolbar buttons, notifications and panels. Unified Service Desk is already fully accessible using keyboard. This customization enables faster access to the most frequent or important panels and buttons on Unified Service Desk.

Enhanced Debugging options

The Debugger control has been enhanced to help identify the issues by providing sorting, replay and clear options.

Unified Service Desk 3.0.0 is compatible with an instance of Microsoft Dynamics 365 version 8.2 (online or on-premises), Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2015, or Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 Service Pack 1 (SP1) is required.

          I just checked, it's working fine if I uninstall the old version and install it freshly. Thanks.

        Hi @USD Team. I've had the same issue as Srikanth. Upgrading from existing 2.2 installation caused the application to not start at all. No splash screen, only unifiedservicedesk.exe in the task manager for a few seconds. By uninstalling USD and installing version 3.0 from scratch, the program boots up again correctly.
