Control Visible Work Item Details in Omni-Channel with Compact
Layouts
Ever wanted to customize the information that your service reps see when they get a new
work item in Omni-Channel? You can! Just customize primary compact layout for that work item’s
object.
If you look closely, you’ll notice that a few fields are visible by default on new work
item requests. For example, if your service rep receives a request to manage a case, the
request features the case’s priority, status, and case number by default. An object’s primary
compact layout controls all of the visible fields in the Omni-Channel component. But what if
you want to see more information, such as the case’s owner or its subject? Just edit the
primary compact layout so that it includes the fields that you want to appear in the
Omni-Channel component.
Tip There’s only so much room to display fields on work
item requests. While you can technically put up to 10 fields on a compact layout,
Omni-Channel displays only 4 fields. As a best practice, select up to 4 of the most
important fields that you want to expose on work item requests, then add those to your
compact layout.
Decide which object’s compact layout you want to edit.
From the management settings for the object whose work item you want to edit, select
Compact Layouts, and then select New.
For example, to edit the compact layout for cases, go to the object management settings
for cases, select Compact Layouts, then select
New.
Select the settings for your compact layout, including the fields that you want it to
include. The fields that you pick appear in Omni-Channel when a service rep receives a
request.
Click Save.
Change the primary compact layout to your new layout by clicking Compact Layout Assignment | Edit Assignment.
Select your new compact layout from the Primary Compact Layout drop-down list.
Click Save.
