About this task
The case summarization skill provides you with a concise summary of a customer service case, including the issue, actions taken, and resolution details. With this skill, you can do the following tasks:
- Generate an initial summary of a case so that you can understand the case context.
- Summarize all the work that has been done on a case.
The case summarization skill is available in CSM Configurable Workspace and in Core UI.
- In CSM Configurable Workspace, you use the Case summary by Now Assist component to generate a summary. This component appears before the activity stream.Note:You can also generate a case summary on demand from the Now Assist panel.
- In Core UI, you select the Summarize button on the case record to generate a summary.
The case summarization skill checks the case record to determine if there’s enough information available to create a summary:
- When an agent opens the case record
- When an agent refreshes the case record page
Procedure
-
In the Case insights section by Now Assist component, select Generate.
The Case insights section by Now Assist component appears above the activity stream. When automatic triggering is enabled for case summarization, the system proactively generates a summary when a case is opened. When automatic triggering is turned off, Generate button is displayed, enabling agents to generate the summary on demand. The Case insights section is visible on the record form only when the case summarization skill is active. When the skill is inactive, the card is hidden from the agent workspace.The component is collapsed by default and expands to display the summary. For longer summaries that don't fit in the window, select View more and use the scroll bar to view the rest of the content.Note:
