Question 5

Universal Containers wants to ensure that support cases follow different SLAs depending on whether the customer purchased a Gold, Silver, or Bronze support package. How should the consultant structure the Entitlement Processes?

Accepted Answer

Create separate Entitlement Processes for Gold, Silver, and Bronze, and associate them with corresponding Entitlements.. Different service tiers require distinct timeframes, actions, and milestones, which are best managed by creating separate Entitlement Processes for each tier.

Answer

Create a single Entitlement Process and use assignment rules to change the SLA timers dynamically.

Configure multi-currency settings to scale the SLA target times.

Use workflow rules to update the milestone target time based on the customer tier.

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.

Answer

Write an Apex trigger to manually instantiate the Milestone object when Case Priority is High.

Answer

Use an escalation rule to trigger the milestone when the Priority field is updated to High.

Answer

Configure a validation rule to prevent cases from saving unless Priority is High.

Question 7

Universal Containers wants milestone timers to pause automatically when a customer support agent places a case in 'Waiting on Customer' status, and resume when the status changes back to 'In Progress'. How should this be configured?

Accepted Answer

Define Pause criteria in the Entitlement Process where Case Status equals 'Waiting on Customer'.. Milestone recurrence and pausing are governed by 'Milestone Recurrence' and status-based pause criteria configured within the Entitlement Process settings.

Configure Case Business Hours to exclude times when the status is 'Waiting on Customer'.

Answer

Create a Process Builder that pauses the Case Milestone record when status changes.

Answer

Enable Milestone Recurrence to reset the timer whenever the status changes.

Question 12

A support supervisor notes that when a case milestone violates, an email alert should be sent to the case owner, and the case priority should be automatically escalated to High. Which feature allows this combination of actions when a milestone is violated?

Accepted Answer

Milestone Violation Actions configured within the Entitlement Process.. Milestone actions support immediate or time-dependent actions upon milestone violation, including sending email alerts, updating fields, creating tasks, or triggering outbound messages.

Question 14

Universal Containers wants to ensure that an entitlement is automatically selected on a case if the customer has only one active entitlement. How can this behavior be achieved?

Accepted Answer

Question 15

An administrator has configured a milestone with recurrence enabled so that it repeats every time the case status moves back to 'New'. What happens to the previous milestone instance when the recurrence triggers?

Accepted Answer

A new milestone instance is created, and the previous instance remains on the case record with its final status.. 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.

Answer

The previous milestone instance is permanently deleted from the database.

Answer

The milestone fails with a system error because recurrence is not supported for active processes.

Answer

The existing milestone timer is reset to zero and continues running.
