About Creating a Record from the Social Board

By default, you can create an incident, knowledge article, problem, release, or change from the Social Board.

Administrators can extend this capability so that users can create other business objects from the Social Board by using the Insert Child Object quick action. This quick action is created for the Social Feed business object from the Quick Actions Center in the Configuration Console.
