    Key Features

    • Base system models: Includes pre-trained models for predicting similar cases, such as Major Case Identifier, Similar Open Cases, and Similar Resolved Cases.
    • Automatic installation and training: When the Task Intelligence for CSM plugin is installed in production, these models are automatically trained on your data and deployed.
    • Recommendation activation: While Similar Open Cases and Similar Resolved Cases show recommendations by default on case forms, recommendations for Major Case Identifier require manual activation.
    • Major Case Identifier activation steps: Enable “Propose major issue” and “Similar major cases” recommendations via the Recommended Actions module by setting them to active.
    • Suggested Actions tab: Enables agents to see model-based recommendations directly in the case workspace. Requires activation of the Recommended Actions feature on Front Line and CSM default record pages.
    • Required roles: mladmin, tiadmin for model management; workspaceadmin, uibuilderadmin, nextbestactionauthor for enabling Recommended Actions UI components.

    Practical Steps for Customers

    • Install Task Intelligence for CSM plugin to automatically get base models trained on your data.
    • Activate recommendations for the Major Case Identifier model if you want to propose major issues and show similar major cases.
    • Enable the Suggested Actions tab by configuring the Recommended Actions component in the UI Builder for Front Line and CSM default case pages, so agents can access recommendations directly.
    • Adjust UX screen conditions to ensure Recommended Actions are displayed properly on case forms.

    Expected Outcomes

    By implementing and activating these models and UI features, agents gain immediate access to relevant similar cases and actionable recommendations while working on customer service cases. This improves case resolution speed and consistency, enhances agent productivity, and supports proactive major issue management.

    Test and edit the pre-trained similar cases model for predicting similarity in customer service cases and create a model for custom cases.

    Pre-requisites
    Role required: ml_admin, ti_admin
    About this task
    Base system models: Task Intelligence for Customer Service includes three base system models for predicting similar records for cases:
    • Major Case identifier
    • Similar Open Cases
    • Similar Resolved Cases
    To get recommendations for a major case identifier that includes propose major cases and similar major cases, install the Major Issue Management application and activate the feature as needed to get recommendations. When you install the Task Intelligence for CSM plugin in your production instance, the plugin automatically installs and trains the similar open cases, similar resolved cases, and major case identifier models using your data. These models are then auto-deployed. The similar open case and similar resolved case models show predictions on recommended actions on case form. However, recommendations aren’t enabled for the major case identifier model in the base system.

    Steps to activate Major Case identifier recommendation

    1. Navigate to All > Recommended Actions > Recommendations.
    2. Select Propose major issue under the Application scope Task Intelligence for Customer Service.

    3. Check the Active check box.

    4. Select Update.

      Repeat the steps for Similar major cases.

    Note:

    Propose major issue and similar major cases are inactive in the base system.

    Enable Suggested Actions on the front line case page record

    Before you begin
    Role required: workspace_admin, ui_builder_admin, ti_admin, next_best_action_author
    Recommended Actions component should be added to the specific record page. (Front line or CSM default record page)
    About this task
    To enable Suggested Actions tab, the admin should activate the Recommended actions feature on two specific pages: Front line case page and CSM default record page. Once activated, agents can view the recommendations on these pages.
    Note:
    For CSM default record page, first wire Recommended actions on this CSM default record page first, and then enable the Suggested Actions tab in UIB via the component property.
    To enable Suggested Actions feature in the Recommended Actions component, follow the following steps:
    1. Navigate to All> Now Experience Framework >Experiences.
    2. Select the UX application CSM/FSM Configurable Workspace.
    3. Select Open in UI Builder.
    4. Navigate to Record under Pages and variants.
    5. Select Front-line Case page.
      Note:
      Verify that you're in the accurate scope to be able to edit.
    6. Select Recommended Actions 1 under the Tabs.
    7. In the Configure tab, turn off the toggle for Hide recommended actions.
    8. Select Save.

    By following these steps, you successfully activate the Recommended Actions feature, enabling agents to view suggestions under Recommendations in the CSM/FSM Configurable Workspace. When you open a case, you find the recommendations section with two tabs: Search and Suggested Actions. The recommendations are displayed under Suggested Actions.

    Enable Recommended actions in the CSM default record page

    1. Navigate to All.
    2. In the search box, enter sys_ux_screen_condition.list and press enter.
    3. Select the filter icon, enter [Screen] [contains] [Recommeded Actions default] and [Application] [is] [Recommeded Actions], and select Run.
    4. Select the true link under Active.
    5. On the UX Screen Condition page in the Script, replace the return value with true.
    6. Select Update.

    Result: On opening a case, the recommendations section with two tabs: Search and Suggested Actions is displayed. The recommendations are displayed under Suggested Actions.
