Question 6

A Service Cloud consultant is setting up milestone tracking for a VIP support queue. The requirement is that the First Response milestone should only apply to cases where the Priority is High. How should the consultant configure this?

Accepted Answer

Create a separate Entitlement Process with criteria where Priority equals High, and assign it to VIP accounts.. Milestone criteria are defined using rule criteria (formula or field criteria) within the Milestone Process. If a case matches the criteria when created, the milestone is added; if criteria are not met, the milestone is skipped.

When milestone recurrence is enabled and criteria are met again, a new instance of the milestone is created while the previous instance is marked as completed or closed depending on configuration.
