Explanation
Dashboard Types in Dynamics 365 Customer Service
Understanding the Two Dashboard Types
Multi-stream dashboard: Displays multiple queues or data streams side-by-side simultaneously. Each "stream" is a column showing a different list of records. Supports drill-down into individual records.
Single-stream dashboard: Displays one primary list of records, typically accompanied by charts and metrics. Better suited for summarized or statistical views.
The Three Scenarios (inferred from requirements)
The three dashboard scenarios map to these requirements:
| # | Scenario |
|---|---|
| 1 | Managers see open cases, open activities, expiring entitlements, escalated cases, and cases by rep - all on one screen, with drill-down |
| 2 | Managers view weekly statistics for cases and representatives |
| 3 | Representatives view their own tickets by day/week/month and closed tickets |
Placement Explanations
Scenario 1 → multi-stream dashboard only
This requires viewing multiple distinct data categories simultaneously on one screen (open cases, activities, entitlements, escalated cases, cases by rep) with drill-down capability. Only a multi-stream dashboard can render multiple independent data streams in parallel columns. A single-stream dashboard physically cannot display more than one data stream - it would require navigating between views, violating the "all on one screen" requirement.
Scenario 2 → multi-stream or single-stream dashboards
Weekly statistics (counts, trends, rep performance) are chart/metric-based summaries, not live record lists. Both dashboard types support charts and aggregated statistics. Neither is technically required over the other here, so both are valid choices.
Scenario 3 → multi-stream or single-stream dashboards
A representative viewing their own tickets (day/week/month, open/closed) needs a personal filtered view, which both dashboard types support. A single-stream with date-filtered views works fine; a multi-stream could also show day/week/month as separate streams. Either satisfies the requirement.
Common Mistakes
- Assuming Scenario 1 allows single-stream: The "all on one page" + drill-down + multiple data types requirement locks this to multi-stream. This is the most commonly missed distinction.
- Forcing multi-stream on Scenarios 2 & 3: The statistics and per-rep ticket views don't require multiple simultaneous streams - don't over-engineer.
- Confusing "real-time" with a specific dashboard type: Both types can display live data; "real-time" alone doesn't determine the type. It's the number of simultaneous data streams that decides.
