# Configure Case Summarization

Configure case summarization to generate and display case summaries for agents and control who can access them in production.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin

Case summarization relies on a base input table and its associated field inputs with descriptions to provide the context for a generated summary. Choose your base table, and view the associated base input fields within the provided input templates. Record state determines which input template is used when generating a summary.

Provided input templates:

-   Case new
-   Case work in progress
-   Case resolved

Any modifications to the names or labels of the fields within these templates can result in issues with case summaries.

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **Admin > AI Admin Hub > AI Skills**.

2.  Select the **Customer** workflow, and **CSM** as the product.

3.  Activate skill for the **Case summarization** skill.

    Each skill has a guided setup with multiple steps. A check symbol next to each step indicates whether its setup is complete, partially complete, or incomplete. After configuring a step, select **Save and continue** to move forward, or **Back** to return to a previous step.

4.  Select **General details** and edit name and description of the skill.

    Additional information regarding details of the skill are displayed, but can’t be edited.

5.  Select **Choose Input** and review the tables and fields to define the prompts that determine where data is pulled from.

    You can modify the rule conditions to determine when the input template is used. Additional data sources can be added via related tables as well.

</table>6.  Select **Customize prompt** to evaluate the generated outputs of case summaries.

    Evaluate the prompt used for each of the input templates by selecting an existing record to test the output. After you review the results, edit the prompt in AI Skill Kit.

7.  Select **Define availability** to customize how and when the skill capability is active and accessible.

    -   Select **Skill is always available** so no restrictions are placed on when a skill is available.
    -   Select **Customize skill availability** to define conditions and use the condition builder to configure fields and values.
8.  Select **Define triggers** to determine how the skill will be triggered.

    -   Select **Automatic** to see the case summary of a record automatically generated when the user lands on a record page.
    -   Select **User trigger** to create a case summary of a record when the user opens a record page and selects the **Summarize** button.
9.  Select **Define access** to determine who can access this skill.

    By selecting specific roles, you are controlling who can use it. The roles you choose will also be available in the next step **Select display**.

    Default and Custom Roles:

    -   If no changes are made, the default roles sn\_customerservice\_agent and sn\_customerservice.consumer\_agent automatically appear in **Define access** and **Select display**.
    -   If custom roles were added before the upgrade, they’re updated automatically by a script.
    -   If new roles are created after the upgrade, you can manually add them in both the **Define access** and **Select display**.

        **Note:** In the **Select display** step, you can only choose roles that were added in the **Define access** step. If you add a role in **Define access**, you still must manually select it in **Select display** to make it active.

10. Select **Display** to determine where the skill appears.

    -   Select **In-product desktop** to display AI skills on forms and workspaces. Then, select the roles for whom the skill will be displayed.
    -   Select **ServiceNow Otto panel** to display AI skills in the panel.
11. After selecting **Review and activate** to examine changes, select **Done** to close the case summarization generation settings.

12. Select **Activate** to turn on the skill for agents and complete the configuration.
