Abstract
A user interface for a customer service application can be created and supported such that the user of the customer service application can utilize that application through a variety of modalities. Further, an interface can be supported in such a manner that certain tasks to be performed using that interface are streamlined, which may take place in combination with the enabling of multi-modality interaction.
