Playbook pages
Use playbook pages in CSM Configurable Workspace so that your agents can view the stages and activities in a playbook, work on activities, and have quick access to in-context information.
Overview of templates, pages, and page variants
Pages provide the base structure for how the system displays record information in CSM Configurable Workspace. You can create and customize pages with UI Builder, a web user interface builder.
A page template is a pre-defined page configuration. When you create a page in UI Builder, you can select a page template as a starting point. You can also create a page from scratch or by copying another page and then customizing the page to meet your needs.
A page variant is a version of a page that includes unique settings such as the audience, conditions, and page order. For more information about templates, pages, and page variants, see Creating pages and page variants.
Pages and page variants can also include playbooks, which are created in Workflow Studio. A playbook provides step-by-step guidance for resolving a specific type of case. The workflows that are associated with a specific type of case and the activities that need to be completed to resolve cases of this type are detailed in the playbook.

Using playbook pages
| User task | Description |
|---|---|
| Create a record using a playbook | If a playbook is configured to use the playbook record generator feature, an agent can create a record by using a playbook activity. Creating a record opens the playbook and initiates the first activity, which is to
guide an agent through the record creation process. After saving the case, an agent moves to the next activity in the current stage or to the first activity in the next stage. |
| Resolve a case using a playbook |
Opening a case takes the agent to the first open assigned activity. An agent can do the following actions while working on the activities in a playbook:
|
| Add an activity to a playbook | Add optional activities to a playbook stage as needed. |
| Summarize case details | Use the Now Assist for CSM case summarization skill to summarize the case details and display this information on the case record. |
| Compose an email from an email template | Quickly compose emails for common issues by selecting an email template in the Compose Email page instead of manually drafting an email. |
