description: The Console tab is just like other tabs in Salesforce except that the console can display records from several different Salesforce tabs all on one Console tab. This specialized display is called the Agent console, and it allows you to have all the information you need on one tab when interacting with Salesforce. By using the Agent console in the Console tab, you can quickly find, view, and edit records, such as cases, accounts, and contacts, with fewer clicks and without switching back and forth between screens.
