What this domain covers
What to know about Service Console
Be able to choose the right console feature for an agent productivity scenario and configure it in the Lightning console app. The most important thing is matching the requirement to split view, workspace tabs, utility bar, macros, quick text, or keyboard shortcuts correctly.
Enabling split view so agents see a case list beside the selected case record
Configuring console navigation with workspace tabs, subtabs, and utility bar items
Setting up keyboard shortcuts and macros to speed agent case handling
Using quick text and email actions to populate fields and message customers
Watch out for
Common Service Console exam traps
- ▸Confusing split view with related lists or list views, which do not show a list and record side by side
- ▸Assuming macros and quick text are the same; macros run multiple actions while quick text inserts reusable text
- ▸Forgetting that console navigation, utility bar, and shortcuts are configured per Lightning console app, not globally
