## 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 Activity view in Agent Workspace. Dynamic facets display record
details associated with the facet.

Static facets display a subcategorization of the facets without any record details.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllCustomer CentralCustomer ActivityActivity Contexts.
2. Open the contact or consumer record that you want to create facets for.
3. On the Facets related list, select New.  
   Note:  
   Ensure that the application scope is set to Customer Central. The New button only appears under this scope.
4. Fill out the fields, as required.
