    About this task

    An activity context is the person or user who is interacting with the customer service agent. There are two predefined activity contexts: consumer and contact. Facets group the data, which enables customer service agents to filter and display the data they want to see in the activity feed. Each facet represents an activity group.

    Facets are displayed in the Customer History view in Agent Workspace. Dynamic facets display record details associated with the facet.

    Customer History tab displaying Cases facet with list of cases and with a brief description.

    Static facets display a subcategorization of the facets without any record details. Customer History tab with the Interactions facet highlighted.
