    A record page provides the base structure for how a record is displayed in CSM Configurable Workspace. This includes records such as cases, incidents, and tasks.

    Overview

    Record pages include elements such as layouts, containers, and components to display record information. Certain record pages, including the CSM default record page and CSM Interaction record page, leverage additional logic using presets, controllers, and extension points. Pages with preset and controller logic benefit from reusability because they automatically inherit styling, events, and data binding. This reusability makes simplifies configuration and makes the pages upgrade friendly.

    Several record pages are included with CSM Configurable Workspace. You can use these record pages as is or you can customize them to suit your needs. For more information about customizing record pages, see Manage UI Builder pages and page variants.

    Each record page has an order value. The system uses the pages with the lowest order as the default record pages. When the system displays information in CSM Configurable Workspace, such as interaction and case records, it uses the elements in the default pages to determine the page appearance.

    Table 2. Record page elements
    Element Description
    Layouts The metadata that determines how components are positioned on a page and what CSS rules apply. Layouts enable you to create useful and visually appealing pages.
    Containers Hold one or more components on a page.
    Components Components are the building blocks that you use to create pages. End users, such as agents, use components to view and interact with data. Commonly used components include Heading, Image, List, Form, and Button.
    Presets A preset is a set of instructions that define configuration values for a specific component. A preset also specifies how a component connects to a controller. Using presets can simplify component configuration and enable you to avoid manual data binding.
    Controllers A controller combines the complex business logic, including data brokers, state parameters, scripting, and event management, into a single entity. Presets use the data in a controller to auto-configure a component.
    Extension points An extension point enables subpages, such as viewports and page collections, to inherit controllers from the parent page. Extension points also improve the ability to upgrade.

    Default record pages

    Each record page has an order number and the page with the lowest order number is the default page. When the system displays a record in CSM Configurable Workspace, it uses this default page to display the record information.
