Welcome to the Customer Service workspace app module, where we're increasing agent productivity for core customer service with the ability to work on multiple sessions at a time in a single workspace experience. If you choose to expand your customer service offering to provide chat and channels, the Customer Service workspace seamlessly adjusts to support managing conversations as well.

If you've used Customer Service Hub or Omnichannel for Customer Service before, much of the behavior for managing cases and activities in the Customer Service workspace app module works the same way, with some exceptions to accommodate the multisession and conversation capabilities. This article walks you through the Customer Service workspace experience and explains how to navigate the app.

Before we begin, a quick note about administration of Customer Service workspace: Currently, there isn't a dedicated administrator experience for Customer Service workspace. As such, configuring and managing core customer service capabilities, such as queues and routing rules, is done in the Customer Service Hub > Service Management experience. Channel configuration is done in Omnichannel Administration. Because all of these apps are on Microsoft Dataverse, the data created through these experiences is accessible.

Introduction to Customer Service workspace

You can access Customer Service workspace through the app selector (where you find all of your other Dynamics 365 apps) by choosing the Customer Service workspace app tile. You can also access the app in the Dynamics 365 drop-down navigation in the upper-left corner of Dynamics 365.

As an agent with the Customer Service Representative security role, when you open Customer Service workspace, you start on the Customer Service Agent Dashboard unless your administrator has changed the default view. This dashboard shows you your active cases, cases you can work in queues you are assigned to, and your open activities. You can open existing cases and activities or begin working new cases from the queues you are assigned to and create activities.

Let's explore the elements of the Customer Service workspace and how to navigate between them:

Label	Description
1	The session pane lists all the sessions that you are actively working on. Select the tabs to navigate among sessions.
2	The Home session returns you to the Customer Service Agent Dashboard view.
3	Each session has a tab in the session panel. Select a tab to navigate to the session you want to work on.
4	Select a case to open a new session. A single click on a case replaces your view with the case form. Select the back arrow in the upper-left corner of the form to get back to your previous view.
5	Select the + icon to expand the menu to view a list of forms, views, and activities. Select the one you want to open in a new tab.
6	Select the tabs to navigate to your open activities, cases, forms and views.
7	Select the drop-down selector to filter cases in queues you can choose to work on.
8	Select Shift + mouse click to open a new session for an activity. A single click replaces your view with the activity form. Select the back arrow in the upper-left corner of the form to go back to your previous view.

View and edit records

You need to be aware of the new navigation behaviors in Customer Service workspace. All other basic model-driven app functionality behaves the same way as it does in the Customer Service Hub and Omnichannel for Customer Service apps.

Select Shift + mouse click to open a new session tab for the record you want to open.
Selecting the record replaces your view with the form for the record you opened.
Select the back arrow in the upper-left corner of the form to get back to your previous view.

The productivity pane hosts Smart assist, which suggests related cases and knowledge articles that could be relevant to the current case, and agent scripts to guide agents through a consistent series of steps with potentially automated actions through macros.
