Coveo for Salesforce 3.10

The Coveo Insight Panel Lightning Component is a search interface that’s meant to be included in the sidebar of your Lightning applications. This panel is typically used to propose contextually relevant information to your support agents alongside their cases. However, you can also use it with other Salesforce object types such as Account, Opportunity, and more.

This article describes how to integrate the Coveo Insight Panel Lightning Component in a Lightning application.

Prerequisites

Step 1: Add the Coveo Insight Panel Lightning Component in Salesforce

Add a Coveo Insight Panel Lightning Component to a case record page

  1. In Salesforce, access your Lightning console app.

  2. Open any case record.

  3. At the upper-right corner of the page, click the Setup icon button (cogwheel icon), and then select Edit Page.

  4. In your case record page, ensure you have the Record Detail Lightning component.

    Tip
    Leading practice

    For an optimal page configuration, you should use the Pinned Left Sidebar Lightning page layout for your case record pages. This layout allows your agents to see the record details while they perform other actions such as using the Coveo Insight Panel Lightning Component or drafting a knowledge article.

  5. Drag the Coveo Insight Panel component to the right side section of the page.

    Note

    Depending on the case record page you’re modifying, the Coveo Insight Panel Lightning Component may display warnings such as:

    Invalid field definition: Case_Subject

    By default, the component Record Fields value is set to:

    Case_Subject, Case_Description

    To perform contextual search, specify the fields that are relevant for your specific object type. For example, with Opportunity, you should set the Record Fields value to:

    Opportunity_Name, Opportunity_Description

    For more information on adding object context on a search interface in Salesforce Lightning, see Adding object context.

  6. At the upper right, click Save.

  7. Activate the new page, if not already done.

    activate-new-page

    1. Click Assign as Org Default.

      Note

      You can make these changes available as default, or edit the assignment rules to only activate this page for specific users or profiles.

    2. Once you’re done with the assignment rules, click Save.

  8. Now that your page is saved, at the upper right of the page, select Back.

  9. Select the Coveo Insight Panel component, and then click Set Up a Search Page.

    Note

    The Set Up a Search Page button is only displayed the first time you integrate this component.

  10. Choose the tabs you want to have in your panel, and then select Create Page. You can always change the tabs later.

Step 2: Configure your Coveo Insight Panel Lightning Component in Coveo

  1. Create a Coveo Machine Learning (Coveo ML) Automatic Relevance Tuning (ART) model.

  2. Associate the ART model with the query pipeline used by your Coveo Insight Panel Lightning Component.

    You must associate the model twice. The first association aims at optimizing the model when a large query expression (lq) is populated, while the second aims at optimizing the model when a basic query expression (q) is populated.

    1. For the first association, enable the Comply with Intelligent Term Detection (ITD) option, and then add the following condition: Large Query Is populated.

    2. For the second association, disable the Comply with Intelligent Term Detection (ITD) option, and then add the following condition: Large Query Is not populated.

    Tip
    Tip

    By default, the Coveo Insight Panel Lightning Component uses the Default query pipeline. However, we recommend creating a specific pipeline for this audience and using a condition based on the Coveo Insight Panel Lightning Component searchHub (see Set the search hub).

  3. On the Query Pipelines (platform-ca | platform-eu | platform-au) page, click the query pipeline used by your Coveo Insight Panel Lightning Component, and then click Edit components in the Action bar.

  4. On the subpage that opens, select the Advanced tab, and then click Query parameters on the left side of the page.

  5. On the Query Parameters tab, add rules overriding the basic query expression (q) and large query expression (lq) parameter values:

    1. Click Add a query parameter rule.

    2. On the Add a query parameter rule subpage, select q (basic query expression), and then click Next.

    3. Under q (basic query expression), enter <@+ $context.Case_Subject +@>.

      Important
      Important

      If you enabled query syntax, remove the <@+ and +@> markers from the query parameter rules overriding the basic query expression (q) as follows:

      $context.Case_Subject

    4. Under Condition, select or create a Query is empty condition.

    5. Click Add rule

    6. To add a rule overriding the large query expression (lq) parameter value, click Add a query parameter rule once again.

    7. On the Add a query parameter rule subpage, select lq (large query expression), and then click Next.

    8. Under lq (large query expression), enter <@+ $context.Case_Description +@>.

    9. Under Condition, select or create a Query is empty condition.

    10. Click Add rule.

      Your Query Parameters rules should look like this:

      Note

      Depending on your use case, you can add custom dimensions to make the search and click events metadata available in your usage analytics reports (see Manage dimensions on custom metadata).

Step 3: Customize the Coveo Insight Panel Lightning Component options

After having added your Coveo Insight Panel Lightning Component, you may want to customize some options covered in this section.

Panel displaying the Coveo Insight Panel Lightning Component customizable options

Change the name of the component

  • As of the Coveo for Salesforce v5 release

    The name of the Page Content record that contains the HTML code of your search interface.

  • Prior Coveo for Salesforce versions

    The name of the Visualforce component that contains the HTML code of your search interface.

If that component doesn’t exist in your organization, you’ll be prompted to create it.

Default value is coveoLightningInsightPanel.

Modify the search hub

The name of the search hub to enforce when authenticating a query with this search token, which can also be used in query pipeline condition statements.

Add record fields

The record fields to send with every query to be used in query pipeline rules.

This option expects a comma-separated list of Salesforce field names.

By default, the Case_Subject and Case_Description fields are used.

Note

While the Subject and Description fields are used by default, you may want to declare other fields to better contextualize the search experience.

You can find the formatted field names in your Salesforce organization through the Object Manager. Access the desired object, and then select the Fields & Relationships tab.

In the Fields & Relationships tab, use the format of the desired field as written in the Field Name column.

Salesforce Object Manager Fields and Relationships page

To declare the field, prefix the field name by the name of the object as follows:

<OBJECT_NAME>_<FIELD_NAME>

Where you replace:

<OBJECT_NAME> with the name of the object.

<FIELD_NAME> with the name of the field as written in the Field Name column.

Modify the Full Search component name

The name of the component that opens when the Full Search button (external-link) is clicked.

The value for this option should follow the myNamespacePrefix__myComponentName syntax.

Only modify this value if you want to use a custom Full Search component. Otherwise, leave this option empty.

Note

You can also customize the Full Search button options.

Add the debug mode

Whether to load the non-minified versions of the resources. This enables more logging, and should only be used when troubleshooting the custom code in your component.

By default, this option is unchecked.

Exclude custom actions

Coveo for Salesforce 4.23

An exclusion filter to hide custom actions (based on type or value) from the User Activity Timeline.

In some cases, you may want to exclude custom actions that provide no value from being displayed in the User Activity Timeline (for example, if they’re too numerous or don’t have relevant metadata).

Uses the format value1, value2, value3.

The filter’s default values are ticket_create_start, ticket_field_update, ticket_next_stage, ticket_classification_click because they don’t display relevant or valuable data for the agent.

Optimize the Coveo Insight Panel Lightning Component configuration for cases

The Coveo Insight Panel Lightning Component offers some functionalities that are specific to the Case object type. You should perform this additional step to get the best of the component.

Since the case you’re currently working on doesn’t need to appear in your results, you can filter it out by following these steps:

  1. On the Case page, click Setup and then select Edit Page.

  2. After clicking anywhere in the Coveo Insight Panel Lightning Component, in the Record Fields, add Case_CaseNumber.

  3. In your Coveo Administration Console, in the Filters tab, click Add a filter rule.

    1. On the Add a filter Rule page, under Query parameter, select cq (constant query).

    2. Under Query Filter, add the following code:

      NOT @sfcasenumber=$context.Case_CaseNumber

    3. Click Add Rule.
