It includes configurable lists, records, reports, and report groups, allowing customization of displayed data and date ranges. * **Customer History View:** Shows recent customer interactions as an activity feed, with filtering options through facets or filter icons. It supports configurable categories, activities, and date ranges to refine displayed history. * **Chat Summarization:** Agents can view AI-generated chat summaries powered by Now Assist, providing quick context of past interactions without needing to read full transcripts. This requires ServiceNow Otto for CSM and UXC Generative AI plugins. If unavailable, full transcripts are shown. * **Customer History Component:** Displays history information related to customers, consumers, or accounts on various CSM record pages such as front-line case pages and voice interaction records. It includes search, filter, and date range selection tools. This component can also show call transcripts if configured in the associated provider application. * **Configuration and Deployment:** System administrators can add and configure the Customer History component within UI Builder. The Customer Central application is activated alongside CSM Configurable Workspace and Customer Service plugins and is now delivered via the ServiceNow Store starting with the Yokohama release. ## What to Expect With Customer Central, ServiceNow customers gain a comprehensive, configurable interface to access and manage customer data and interaction history, improving agent efficiency and customer service quality. The integration of AI-generated chat summaries helps reduce time to resolution by providing concise interaction context. The availability of configurable components and views allows tailoring the workspace to specific business needs. Updates and enhancements to Customer Central are delivered through the ServiceNow Store as a separate application starting from the Yokohama release. Customer Central provides customer service agents with all the information about the customer in one central place. It enables them to quickly zoom in on the customer issues and provide efficient and supportive service to their customers. Customer service agents or location agents can view customer central on the interaction, case, account, contact, or consumer records in CSM Configurable Workspace in the form of two views: Customer Information and Customer History. Starting with the Yokohama release, the [Customer History component](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/LFF_WNAeENMUHf1Hq6PPQQ#customer-central__section_i2b_kpt_ydc) displays customer activity information on some record pages in CSM Configurable Workspace. ## Customer Information view {#customer-central__section_ohd_sh4_nlb} The Customer Information view displays key information about the customer and a view of all recent customer touch points with the service organization. It contains a number of predefined lists, records, reports, and report groups that are highly configurable, or you can create your own. You can also configure the number of days to display the data for. ## Customer History view {#customer-central__section_rzj_th4_nlb} The Customer History view displays all the recent customer touch points with the service organization in the form of an activity feed. If the [Enable facets check box](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/XnVPwTWlzS7QjnupAzFPag "Customer service agents can use several features in the Customer History component to view customer, consumer, or account history information.") is selected in UI Builder, facets appear on the left-hand side. Otherwise, a filter icon is displayed. The data in the activity feed is displayed based on the facet or filter you select. It contains a number of predefined categories and activities that are highly configurable, or you can create your own. You can also select a date range to display the data for. ## Chat summarization {#customer-central__section_krc_rgh_rzb} Agents can see an AI-generated chat summary instead of a full transcript so that they can quickly understand the past interaction and resolve a customer issue. An interaction chat summary in the Customer History tab provides the context about the chat conversation between the agents and customers. An AI icon and tooltip are displayed before the summary which indicate that the summary is generated by Now Assist. This feature has the following dependencies: * ServiceNow Otto for CSM (sn_csm_gen_ai) * UXC Generative AI (sn_uxc_gen_ai) {#customer-central__ul_tjl_t4h_rzb} When these plugins are not installed or the chat summary is unavailable, agents can see the entire conversation transcript to access the chat history. ## Customer History component {#customer-central__section_i2b_kpt_ydc} The Customer History component displays customer, consumer, or account history information, depending on the field selections on the interaction record.
