    • Create a child skill variant of the resolution notes generation skill to create concise summaries of case resolutions, helping agents to quickly understand resolution details.

    Before you begin

    Role required: Admin to copy and configure the skill in Now Assist Admin (NAA). sn_skill_builder.admin to edit input configurations in Now Assist Skill Kit (NASK).

    Confirm the following prerequisites are met before you begin:
    • Your instance must be running uxc-generative-ai version 12.2.2 or later.
    • The base resolution notes generation skill must already be activated.

    About this task

    When you copy the resolution notes generation skill in Now Assist Admin, a child skill is created that inherits the parent skill's configuration. You then open the copied skill in Now Assist Skill Kit to select the target child table and configure the additional input fields that are injected into the AI prompt for that table. Once the skill is configured and published in NASK, and activated in NAA, the platform automatically uses the child skill when an agent triggers Resolution Notes generation on a case record that belongs to the extended table.

    Procedure

      For example, add Account, Additional comments, or Address. These fields are appended to the base prompt inputs inherited from the parent skill.
    12. Select Save and continue.
    13. Optional: Select Clone prompt to edit the prompt.
