About this task

The Customer and Consumer Service Portals are self-service web portals based on the ServiceNow Service Portal application.

The Customer Service Portal supports your business-to-business (B2B) customers and the Consumer Service Portal supports your business-to-consumer (B2C) customers.

Use the portals to provide information and support for your customers. The portals provide a basic format that customers can use to search for information or request assistance from a customer service agent. They include the following features:

  • A header with links for different customer activities.
  • A search feature that customers can use to search for information from several repositories.
  • Links to information sources such as the knowledge base, the user community, and customer support.

Note:

The Customer Service Portal is automatically installed when you activate the Customer Service plugin.

To activate the Consumer Service Portal, activate the Consumer Service plugin.
