Interactions are a centralized location for all communication channels in Service Operations Workspace. You can respond to an incoming chat, phone, walk-up, or messaging interactions faster.

## Details tab {#interaction-sow__section_ans_3xv_5sb}

This tab displays the detailed information of an interaction. For information about fields in this section, see [Create an interaction in Service Operations Workspace](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/_OU9kuO_jV1ZJ5HxQt7z8A "Track an interaction that is a centralized location for all communication channels. Each interaction represents a request for assistance through a communication channel, for example, a phone call or a chat.").

From the Compose section, you can add work notes for the interaction.

For information about how you can configure fields in this tab, see [Configure a task record form in Service Operations Workspace](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/BM3w9bR5khLWAVK2PF5BYQ "Configure a task record form in Service Operations Workspace by modifying the form layout or related lists from the classic ServiceNow AI Platform user interface.").

## Related records tab {#interaction-sow__section_uht_4zv_5sb}

This tab provides a list view of the records associated with the interaction, for example, tasks related to this interaction, incidents related to the requester, and tasks related to the requester. You can add a record, create a
record, or remove it from the interaction.

## Contextual side panel {#interaction-sow__section_lmm_z1w_5sb}

From this section, you can view record information, requester information, add attachments, and create templates for reuse.
