# Configure Sentiment Analysis
Activate the required plugin, enable the sentiment analysis property, and assign roles to use the sentiment analysis feature.
Follow the steps in the table below to configure the sentiment analysis property for cases.
|
Step
|
Description
|
|---|
|
Ensure that your instance is set up for Predictive Intelligence \(PI\).
|
Predictive Intelligence is a ServiceNow platform feature that provides a layer of artificial intelligence, which serves as a framework for machine learning models. For more information, see [Predictive Intelligence](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/intelligent-experiences/predictive-intelligence.md).
|
|
Activate the Task Intelligence for Customer Service application \(com.snc.csm\_ml\_task\).
|
The Task Intelligence for Customer Service application enables customers to leverage machine learning algorithms in Customer Service Management. The sentiment analysis feature is included with this application.
This application automatically activates the following plugins:
- Predictive Intelligence for Customer Service Management \(com.snc.csm\_ml\)
- Customer Service \(com.sn\_customerservice\)
- Skills Management \(com.snc.skills\_management\)
- Dynamic Translation \(com.glide.dynamic\_translation\)
- ServiceNow Language Detection Service Spoke \(com.glide.language\_detection\_spoke\)
- Predictive Intelligence - Task Intelligence \(com.glide.platform\_ml\_task\)
- Admin Center for Task Intelligence \(com.sn\_ti\_admin\)
|
|
Configure the Case list and Case form to display the sentiment analysis fields.
|
The sentiment analysis feature adds the following fields:
- **Original sentiment**
- **Current sentiment**
- **Sentiment over time**
Configure these fields for each of the following interfaces as needed:
- CSM Configurable Workspace
- CSM Agent Workspace
- Core UI Platform interface
|
|
Use the [Task Intelligence Admin Console](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/customer-service-management/csm-task-intel-admin-center.md) to create and deploy a sentiment model.
|
See [Create a model to predict case sentiment](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/customer-service-management/csm-task-intel-create-sentiment-solution.md).
|
## Configure sentiment analysis fields
The sentiment analysis feature uses the following fields to display sentiment prediction information on Cases list and Case form:
- Original sentiment
- Current sentiment
- Sentiment over time
Add the sentiment fields to Case list views and to the Case form for CRM Workspace, CSM Agent Workspace, and Core UI.
- In CRM Workspace, these fields appear as secondary values in the configurable form header. You can configure secondary values to display either below the primary value at the top of the form or in the Record Information tab in the contextual side panel. \(For more information, see [Display the form ribbon and form header secondary values in the Contextual side panel](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/customer-service-management/config-csm-display-header-in-sidebar.md).\)
- In CSM Agent Workspace, these fields appear in the Case form header.
- In Core UI, these fields appear on the Case form.
