Activities Page

Activities are designed to track important updates, but they don't function as an audit trail. Administrators determine what information is displayed. Individual records for accounts, contacts, and service requests display relevant activities for each corresponding record.

On the Activities panel of the Service Request Overview page, if you click View all activities, the Activities page is displayed.

From the Activities panel and page, you can review internal and customer inbound and outbound messages, conversations, and interactions through various channels (notes, email exchanges, chat, slack, and call logs), as well as important updates to the record itself. Each type of message is displayed in a different background color and with a different icon to enable you to easily identify whether the message was sent by an agent or customer, or whether it's an internal message.

To return to the Service Request Overview page, click Go to overview.

Here's an overview of the different sections on the Activities page, and what you can do.
