    About this task

    Remote Hands Request Summarization is an ServiceNow Otto capability that provides a contextual overview of a Remote Hands case. It combines current case data with insights from similar historical cases. Users with the Remote Hands Agent role can generate a summarized view of a Remote Hands case by selecting the Summarize option. This option is available from either the Remote Hands Case table or the CSM/FSM Configurable Workspace. The information displayed in the summary is populated from the data entered by the DCIM user in the Remote Hands case record. This data is submitted through the Customer Service Management (CSM) portal.

    The Case Overview section displays key metadata retrieved from the Remote Hands Case table, including Case Category, Priority, Channel, and State. The Case Details section displays the Short Description and Description fields from the Remote Hands case record, providing detailed context about the current request. The Related Case Summary section is generated based on similar cases from the related cases present in the remote hands case record. Within this section, the Case Reference lists up to five similar cases identified by the system. The Case Issue displays the Short Description of each related case. The Case Resolution displays the Resolution Notes recorded in the related cases.
