Configuring the Console Application Settings Object

Select the Default object record.
Do not add any additional records to the Console Application Settings object. Use only the Default record.
-
Select the Edit icon.
Do not change the Default object record Name value.
-
Select a different Default Queue if appropriate.
- The purpose of setting a default queue is to ensure all created cases have a queue for tracking and analysis
- Service Center deploys with a Default Queue selected, which is the Case Queue object record called Default
- Business Admins may select a different Default Queue if additional queue(s) are configured
- Indicate which account, user, and associate contact information to display in the left panel of each case. The data in each setting is stored as a semicolon-delimited list and is scoped to the object to which it refers.
Account Fields (account__v) - Contact information for the HCP. The fields listed here display in addition to Name, Specialty, and Primary Parent, which always display and cannot be modified.
Associate Fields* (person__sys) - Display in the Case Contact (Associate) pane. This is the contact information for an associate calling on behalf of the HCP (for example, a nurse or receptionist).
User Fields (user__sys) - Display in the Case Contact (User) pane. This is the contact information for a member of your organization reporting an issue on behalf of the HCP.
*Permissions to edit and create the person__sys record are managed through standard Vault permissions and are not included in the Service Center Permission Set.
You can include up to five fields for each category (Account, Associate, and User). You can include fewer than five fields, but if you include more than five fields, only the first five in the list display.
The fields display in the order in which they are listed in the Console Application Settings object.
Check the spelling and accuracy of any edited values. If a value does not display in the Case UI, it is either spelled incorrectly or is not a valid field in the specified object.

Select Save.
Setting the Time for Moving a Case from Solved to Closed
Service Center uses states to indicate where the case is in the resolution process. Cases are designated as New after they are created. Service Center representatives can move cases to Open, Pending, On Hold, Escalated, or Solved.
A Solved case automatically moves to Closed after the number of hours designated by the Business Admin.
To set the number of hours:
-
Navigate to Business Admin > Objects.
-
Select the Console Application Settings object.
-
Select the Edit icon.
-
Set the Auto-Close Time.
-
Select Save.
Then enable the batch process for moving the Solved cases to Closed:
-
Navigate to Admin > Operations.
-
Select Case Solved to Closed Job.
-
Select Edit.
-
Set the Status to Active.
-
Select Save.
Editing Picklists
The picklist options cannot be edited for the Security and Type picklists. The Security and Type labels can be edited.
The picklist options for the case states (New, Open, Pending, On Hold, Escalated, or Solved) cannot be edited.
Configuring Service Center for

Service Center representatives must have the following:
- Service Center license
- Service Center Permission Set
The Service Center User Permission Set can be applied to an existing Security Profile instead of the Service Center Security Profile if appropriate.
Refer to the Adding Users section below for details on assigning the Security Profile and license to each user.
Service Center representatives must also have Read access to the fields associated with the accounts they need to view within Service Center. These permissions are not included in the Service Center Permission Set because they depend on how Service Center is configured for each customer. For example, if Service Center is configured to display personemail__v for each case, Service Center representatives must have Read access to personemail__v.
The most common reason for cases not displaying correctly for a user is the user not having Read permission for the fields included on the case tab.
The Account Search tab displays an error if the user does not have permission on the following account__v fields:
- name__v
- ispersonaccount__v
- last_name_cda__v
Permission Set
Service Center includes a Permission Set containing all of the permissions required for Customer Service reps to use Service Center.
If you want to change the permissions, copy the Service Center User Permission Set and make your changes in the new copied permission set.
The following permissions are included in the Service Center User permission set:

The Service Center User Permission Set can be applied to an existing Security Profile instead of to the Service Center Security Profile if appropriate.

Configuring Case Queues for

A queue is a construct designated within Amazon Connect for routing calls to Service Center representatives with the training to handle the call. For example, calls regarding a specific product can be routed to Service Center representatives with expertise in that product.
Because Service Center assigns the associated queue to the case created from a call, each Amazon Connect queue must be connected to a corresponding Case Queue in Service Center.
One default queue is associated with the Console Application Settings object, but if multiple queues are configured within Amazon Connect, admins must create a corresponding record for each of those queues in Service Center.
The Console Application Settings object record should always have a value for the default queue. If you delete the Default queue record, you should update the Console Application Settings object Default record to reference a different queue record.
Complete the following steps for each additional queue:
-
Navigate to Business Admin > Objects.
-
Select the Case Queues object.
-
Select + Create.
-
Enter a name in the Queue field.
-
Change the Status to Inactive if the queue should not currently be available for use (optional). The Status is set to Active by default.
-
Enter the External Queue ID. For Amazon connect, the External Queue ID is the Amazon Resource Number found in the Queue configuration on the Amazon Connect platform. Refer to Amazon Connect documentation for additional details.
The External Queue ID must exactly match the corresponding Amazon Resource Number.
-
Select Save.
