Hi, I have a question.
My team has spotted that when work notes or comments are updated by AI Agent, this sys_id shows up d808244de4df5650f877f4c9ef9e2dd5 (see screenshot attached).
I have found what is stands for, namely it is a sys_Id of NowAssist Skill Configuration (see screenshot)
The question is: is there any way to adjust the display on ESC of that represented by?
From user perspective it looks quite strange and unclear.
Thanks for any help!
Solved! Go to Solution.

This is a cosmetic issue with AI Agent / NowAssist updates in the Activity stream. What's happening is the journal entry is being attributed with a "represented by" reference pointing to the NowAssist Skill Configuration record (sys_id: d808244de4df5650f877f4c9ef9e2dd5) rather than a human-readable user name, and the activity formatter doesn't resolve it to a friendly display value.
Here are a few approaches to address it:
1. Check the System User behind the AI Agent
Look at the sys_user record that the AI Agent is running as. Navigate to sys_user.list and find the user context used by NowAssist/AI Agent. Make sure it has a proper First Name and Last Name (e.g., "NowAssist" / "Virtual Agent") so the activity stream has something meaningful to display.
2. Inspect the Journal Entry directly
Go to sys_journal_field.list and filter for that record. Check the sys_created_by and look at whether there's a represented_by or similar extended attribute being stamped. The raw sys_id is likely being stored in a field that the activity formatter tries to resolve as a display value but fails because it points to sys_gen_ai_skill_config (not a sys_user record).
3. Activity Formatter / UI Component customization
If the above doesn't resolve it, you can look at customizing the activity stream rendering in Employee Center. The component responsible is typically sn-activity-stream or the workspace activity feed. You could add a mapping or override so that when the "represented by" resolves to a non-user table record, it falls back to a friendly label like "AI Agent" or "NowAssist" instead of the raw sys_id.
4. Feels like a product gap
The quickest short-term fix is usually option 1 — ensuring the system user that NowAssist runs under has a clean display name. Would you like help writing a script to trace exactly which user and "represented by" value is being written to sys_journal_field for those entries?

Hi @paulinakot
Make sure your AI agent’s update work notes step is recording the journal entry using the agent user’s sys_id (it seems it is passing gs.getUserID from flow to Journal api instead of user_name ).
If you not found where journal entry gets updated , debug AI agent activity using sys_gen_ai_log_metadata, sn_aia_execution_plan, sn_aia_execution_task, sn_aia_message.

Hi @Tanushree Maiti,
unfortunately this was not a solution.
