The customer support team at Zenith Software Helpdesk handles high-priority technical cases. Support leadership notices that when agents open related Account and Contact records from a Case record page, those records open as separate primary tabs, causing workspace clutter. The administrator is tasked with ensuring that Account and Contact records automatically open as subtabs beneath the parent Case primary tab in the Lightning Service Console app. Which configuration step should the Salesforce Administrator perform to meet this requirement?

- BAdd the Account and Contact related lists to the Case page layout in the Object Manager.
- CConfigure the Utility Bar settings in App Manager to attach Account and Contact components to the primary tab bar.
- DModify the Case Assignment Rules to associate incoming Account and Contact records directly with the queue console layout.
Answer
Edit the Navigation Rules for the Service Console application in App Manager to set Account and Contact records as subtabs of Case.
In Salesforce Lightning Console applications, tab opening behavior is controlled via Navigation Rules inside App Manager. Specifying that related records such as Account or Contact open as subtabs of Case ensures that agents remain focused on the primary case context without cluttering the main console workspace.
