# Configure skills in a domain for ServiceNow Otto for Customer Service Management \(CSM\)

Activate the skills with different skill configurations in each domain in the ServiceNow Otto for Customer Service Management \(CSM\) application.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin

## About this task

By default, the skill configurations in the domains inherit the settings from the global domain unless they’re overridden by the new configurations in that domain.

## Procedure

1.  Change the current domain to the domain that you want to activate the skills in by selecting the new domain.

    For example, if you want to configure the skill in ParentDomain, change the domain scope to ParentDomain.

2.  Navigate to **All** > **AI Admin Hub** > **AI Skills**.

3.  In the AI Admin Hub console, select the global skill configuration to activate it within the current domain and to set up its own unique skill configuration.

    A modal pop-up window confirms that the skill configuration is being edited in the current domain. This action creates a skill configuration that overrides the existing global configuration. The active skill configuration in use is derived from the global domain and shares the same name as the global skill configuration.

4.  Proceed to the guided setup by selecting **Yes, edit**.

    The configuration setup applies to the current domain and is inherited by its child domain. The name of the skill changes to <Skill Name> for <Domain Name>. For example, if the skill configuration - Case summarization for ParentDomain is activated, it overrides the global setting and applies to both the ParentDomain and ChildDomain. However, if the skill configuration Case summarization for ChildDomain is activated in ChildDomain, it only applies to ChildDomain.

    **Note:** The activation order must follow Global > Parent domain > Child domain to ensure a proper inheritance and overrides. If the child skill configuration in the child domain is activated before the parent domain, the parent skill configuration can't override the existing skill configuration in the child domain. Consequently, both the parent skill and the child skill remain active in the child domain and the result is a misconfiguration.
