MB-230 Practice Question: Configure Representative Experience and Routing
A customer service representative needs to quickly view a customer's recent orders and case history while handling a phone call. Which feature should you configure to display this information automatically when the call arrives?
⚠ Common exam trap
Watch out — candidates often confuse the productivity pane with customer summary, but only customer summary automatically surfaces customer-specific data like orders and cases.

Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Customer summary
Customer summary is designed to present a unified view of customer data, including recent cases and orders, automatically when an interaction begins. This allows agents to quickly understand the customer's context without manual searching. Smart Assist, knowledge search, and the productivity pane do not automatically display this specific customer information. Therefore, customer summary is the correct feature to configure.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Productivity pane
Why it's wrong here
The productivity pane in Customer Service workspace provides tools like Smart Assist and knowledge search, but it does not inherently display customer order history or case history. It is a container for various tools, but the specific customer summary feature is what surfaces the data. Configuring the productivity pane alone would not show the required information.
- ✗
Smart Assist
Why it's wrong here
Smart Assist provides real-time recommendations and knowledge articles to agents during interactions, but it does not automatically display customer order history or case history. It suggests actions based on context, but it does not present a consolidated view of customer data. This feature is more about guidance than data display.
- ✗
Knowledge search
Why it's wrong here
Knowledge search allows agents to find articles and documents to resolve issues, but it does not automatically show customer-specific data like orders or case history. It is a manual search tool for knowledge, not a customer data display. This does not fulfill the need to view recent customer information automatically.
- ✓
Customer summary
Why this is correct
Customer summary is a feature in the Customer Service workspace that automatically displays a 360-degree view of the customer, including recent cases, orders, and other relevant information. When a call arrives, the summary is presented to the agent, enabling quick context. This directly meets the requirement to view recent orders and case history during a call.
