Question

Case Study 3 - The Phone Company Overview The Phone Company provides mobile devices and services to corporate clients. Each client corporation has different agreements and service level agreements (SLAs) in place. Most clients have agreements that last one year and have 30 cases available. Half the cases may be opened by phone. The other half may be opened by email. The company has an existing on-premises software system. The current system no longer meets the company's needs. The support desk is open 8:00 am to 8:00 pm Eastern Standard Time. Requirements Support desk The company plans to implement Dynamics 365. The solution will include a custom entity that needs to be search enabled. You must configure the system to ensure that you can determine how many support tickets and new orders tickets are received. You must be able to determine which device types have the most tickets opened for issues. Business hours in the system must reflect the hours support staff is scheduled. Case handling New cases must automatically route to the correct support group by phone type or new purchase group without requiring custom code. The system must automatically create a case when email is received by companies that are not in the system. The system must automatically send a response to an email sender upon case creation for new orders, but not for service records. Users must be able to initiate routing for manually created cases. The system must create sub-cases from one customer with different cases and also if the same issue is reported by several customers. Subcases must inherit the following fields: customer name, contact email address and case title. Main cases must not be closed until all the sub-cases are closed. Separate groups must be created for each type of service and each phone type. Access to the groups must be restricted to team members that support that service or phone type. When importing from the old system, old cases do not need to be routed to the correct support group. Knowledge base Users must be able to search the knowledge base when opening a new case form or when checking on cases. Users must be able to use relevant searches and include any customer entities. Dashboards Managers must be able to see a real-time list of open cases, open activities, and expiring entitlements all on one page. Managers must also be able to see all open cases, escalated cases and cases by representatives on one screen. Managers must be able to drill down within each area. Managers need a dashboard that displays weekly statistics for cases and representatives. Each representative needs to see their own tickets that are opened for the day, week, and month as well as their closed tickets. Service-level agreements Most customers must be contacted within 90 minutes of their case being opened. Some customers can purchase faster service on call backs. Emails must be sent to support managers when service-level agreements (SLAs) are missed. Support representatives must be able to see a timer on each case form to ensure they are adhering to their SLAs. SLA KPIs must be tracked in the system. SLA KPIs must appear on the case form. Cases must be able to be placed on hold if issues arise with related contracts. Issues Users report they are not able to search the Knowledge Base. Drag and Drop Question You need to create an entitlement template. In System Settings, you navigate to Service Management. Which four actions should you perform in sequence? To answer, move the appropriate actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order. Answer:

Explanation

Dynamics 365 Entitlement Template Creation - Exam Explanation

The Scenario Context

The Phone Company gives clients 30 total cases: half by phone, half by email. That means 15 phone + 15 email. You must build an entitlement template that reflects this.


Why This Sequence?

1. Create new Entitlement template

Why first: Obvious starting point - nothing else is possible until the template record exists. In Dynamics 365, you navigate to Service Management > Entitlement Templates > New.


2. Set Total Terms to 0

Why here: This is a technical prerequisite. In Dynamics 365, before you can configure Entitlement Channels (per-channel limits), the Total Terms field must be explicitly set to 0 first. This action signals to the system that you intend to distribute terms across channels, which unlocks the Entitlement Channel section for editing.

Common mistake: Skipping this step and going straight to entering 30. The channel fields may not behave correctly, or the channel values won't split properly from the total.


3. Enter 30 in Total Entitlement terms

Why here: After zeroing out and enabling channel configuration, you set the actual total. The value 30 reflects the case description (30 cases per client per agreement).

Common mistake: Entering 60 (30 phone + 30 email) - this misreads the scenario. 30 is the total, not per-channel.


4. Enter 15 phone and 15 email for terms in Entitlement Channel

Why here (not 30+30): The case states "Half the cases may be opened by phone. The other half may be opened by email." Half of 30 = 15 each. The Entitlement Channel section is now active (because of step 2), so you configure the per-channel breakdown here.

Common mistake: Selecting the distractor option "Enter 30 phone and 30 email" - that totals 60 and contradicts the case description.


5. Save the template

Why last: You must save after all configuration is complete. Saving before configuring channels would leave the template incomplete, and some fields may only validate on save.


Items That Were Excluded and Why

Excluded ItemWhy Wrong
Enter 30 phone and 30 emailContradicts the scenario (30 total, not 30 each)
Choose Navigate to the templates option under SettingsThe question states you are already in Service Management - this navigation is already done before the sequence begins

Key Takeaway

The critical insight is the order of steps 2 and 3: you must zero out Total Terms before setting the real value, because Dynamics 365 uses that zero state to enable per-channel configuration. The rest of the sequence is straightforward CRUD logic (create → configure → save).
