Article Summary

The Document360 app can be integrated into the Salesforce Cases home page, allowing users and support agents to search and view articles from the knowledge base within the console. The Knowledge Base tab allows users to search for articles and categories by name, content, tag or slug. The Reader View displays the article/category in full detail, with options to copy excerpts or open in a new tab. Recommended articles are automatically fetched based on keywords in the case subject. Finally, users can create new articles for their knowledge base directly from Salesforce.

What is a case in Salesforce?

A 'Case' is a customer's question, feedback, or issue. Support agents can review cases to see how they can deliver better service. The source of the customer's approach might be through different mediums like phone, email, web, or social media.
