Role required: itil, admin, sn_incident_write

## About this task

The guidance based recommendations appear for various records in the Service Operations Workspace, including Incident, Incident task, Problem, Problem task, Change request, Change task, Interaction, and Request.

For incident records, clicking the Recommendations icon(![recommended actions icon]()) displays the Recommended actions and Search sub-tabs. The Search sub-tab allows you to manually search for AI-powered recommendations.

For records other than incidents (such as Incident Tasks, Problems, Problem tasks, Change requests, Change tasks, Interactions, and Requests), recommendations do not appear directly. Instead, you can use AI-powered search to
find the recommendations.

3. Select the Recommendations icon(![recommended actions icon]()) in the contextual side panel.

   * To accept a recommendation, select the action button on the card.
   * To remove a recommendation from the contextual side panel, select Dismiss on the card.
