Assigning a Contact to a Workitem 

Not all incoming workitems will be associated with an existing contact record. If a workitem displays “No Contact Found” at the top of your workspace, you need to decide if you want to associate the workitem with a contact or create a new contact for this workitem. 

Creating a Contact Record

When you accept an interaction/workitem from a contact, you can create a contact record so that all the information that was recorded about that customer is displayed in your workspace. This information provides some familiarity with the contact and the contact’s previous activities or issues. To easily track the relationship between a contact and the business/company they work with, an Account (Account Identifier) can be assigned to a Contact.
