Email Client in "Compose" section in Record View by default

Hi all

 

We're using CSM/FSM Configurable Workspace for both Incidents and Cases. I would like to have the mini Email client active by default in the Compose section of a record. At the moment the Email tab only appears when an agent clicks the reply button on an Email in the activity stream.

Is there a way to activate this by default?

 

We're running Vancouver.

 

Thank you for your help!

 

Cheers

Simon

Hi @Simon38 ,

 

I was able to get the email into the compose component by doing the following.

 

1. Navigate to Now Experience Framework > UI Builder

2. In the Experiences select : CSM/FSM Configurable Workspace

3. Select CSM default record page

4. Duplicate and create your variant

5. Select Activity Stream Compose

Hi Simon, 

were you able to do it also for incidents? if yes - how? 

for me, it worked exclusively for cases. 

Hi Marina

 

yes your're right, I just checked and it does not apply for incidents. It seems like the CSM default record page does not apply for incidents...maybe this change needs to be applied on a different record page? I'll have another look at this since I'll also need for incidents in the future.
