Configurable workspaces
Give fulfillers a focused workspace: lists, tabs, agent assist, and what to configure before rollout.
Quick answer
Give fulfillers a focused workspace: lists, tabs, agent assist, and what to configure before rollout.
Key takeaways
- Workspaces suit high volume fulfillment work
- List configuration matters more than form styling
- Agent assist reduces search time inside the record
- Pilot with real agents before a wide rollout
What a workspace gives
A workspace puts lists, records and context in one tabbed interface designed for people who work tickets all day. Agent assist surfaces similar records and knowledge without leaving the record.
Configuration points
Landing page metrics, list configuration, form layouts per table, and the contextual side panel. Most rollouts spend their time on the list definitions, because agents care about what is in front of them first.
Rollout advice
Workspaces change habits, so involve agents early.
- Pilot with a small group and watch them work for an hour
- Configure keyboard friendly lists, agents live in them
- Keep the form to the fields the agent actually fills in
- Measure handling time before and after so the benefit is evidenced
