The Journey can be searched, filtered, and displayed in a variety of preconfigured Modes:

  • Highlights (the Journey’s default view)
  • Full Journey
  • Audit Log
  • Activities


Each Event specifies who executed it and when it took place.

Attachments tab

The Attachments tab shows a gallery view that displays each Attachment with its respective file details.

The Attachments tab can be searched, filtered, and sorted according to various values; further information on these values can be found here.

Toolbar

The Toolbar is a fixed element within the Resolution Panel and contains the four key actions that an Admin can perform:

  • Add a Note
  • Send a Message
  • Add an Attachment
  • Add a Resolution

You can add Notes from either the Toolbar or the Next action line beneath the most recent Event in the Journey.

  • Admin Portal
  • Self-Service Portal
