Coveo for Salesforce 3.16 (August 2018)

Result actions are buttons that enable users to perform one-click actions on search results from the Coveo Insight Panel Lightning Component (see Integrate a Coveo Insight Panel Lightning Component). In addition to providing a convenient way for your agents to explore and share search results, result actions usage is recorded and intelligently used by Coveo Machine Learning (Coveo ML) Automatic Relevance Tuning (ART) models to improve the search result ranking.

The following result actions are available:

Each action has an icon. Icons are always displayed beside a result.

Attach to Case

The Attach to Case result action adds a paperclip Paperclip to the items suggested in the Coveo Insight Panel Lightning Component. Users can attach those items to any Salesforce object, even non-case objects, by clicking the paperclip icon.

Attached items have a yellow paperclip Paperclip.
