Options while reviewing Observations
When clicking into an observation, you will see multiple items, including the AI evidence and suggestions, and how to respond
1. Information on Observations
The first item you will see on the Observation is the Summary - a breakdown of the full conversation and where the AI has deemed it in need of further review
First you will see the main issue stated in the title, as well as the severity rating and recommended next action to give you a quick review at a first glance

Next the Observation will note exactly what happened, including the evidence pointing towards the issue

The Observation will also provide information on which exact conversation it is pulling from, who it was assigned to, what the latest response was from the customer, and the latest team member reply. You can click on the top right hand arrow to go to this conversation

Lastly the Observation will provide full information on the Contact themselves - if they have been verified through SMS, what their latest AI sentiment was, their intent, and where they last had contact. You can click on the top right hand arrow to go to the full contact

2. Reviewing and Resolving Observations
You have many options for working an Observation.
Handoff Observation - Pass this to a team member. This will also allow you to pass over the AI recommended action

Mark Resolved - Mark observation resolved if you took the feedback and utilized in the conversation. This will close the observation however you can open back up if needed.

Dismiss - Dismiss the observation if no action is needed on the noted observation. Dismissing will close, however you will need to make a note on why this specific observation has been dismissed

Add Conversation Note - Provide any further context to the observation note

Forward to integration - if you have any CRM integration you can forward the conversation and contact through here
Delete Observation - Delete the full observation. This will not delete the conversation, or the contact
