MB-230 Practice Question: Configure Representative Experience and Routing
A support supervisor wants to ensure that agents handling high-priority VIP customer phone calls do not receive simultaneous chat sessions, while standard agents can handle up to three concurrent chats. How should a functional consultant implement this requirement?
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates often try to configure this via queue settings or security roles, whereas capacity profiles are the dedicated tool for managing individual agent workload limits and concurrency.
Answer choices
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
✓
Create separate capacity profiles and assign them to the respective user records.
Capacity profiles allow administrators to define distinct workload limits and assign them to specific users or groups based on role requirements. Creating separate capacity profiles for VIP phone agents and standard chat agents ensures correct concurrent work restrictions and prevents performance degradation.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Create separate capacity profiles and assign them to the respective user records.
Why this is correct
Capacity profiles define the maximum number of concurrent sessions an agent can handle, so assigning a three-session profile to standard agents and a one-session profile to VIP agents enforces the differing limits. This satisfies the stem's constraint that VIP agents receive no simultaneous chats while standard agents handle up to three.
- ✗
Modify the global workstream timeout settings in the Customer Service admin center.
Why it's wrong here
Workstream timeout settings control how long an offered item waits before expiring or escalating, rather than limiting the number of concurrent work items an agent can handle. They do not restrict simultaneous sessions based on agent roles.
- ✗
Configure advanced unified routing diagnostic rules with custom JavaScript web resources.
Why it's wrong here
Diagnostic rules with JavaScript web resources evaluate routing conditions; they do not set per-agent concurrency limits. It is tempting because unified routing customisation sounds powerful, but the requirement is met by capacity profiles assigning different chat limits to VIP and standard agents.
- ✗
Assign different security roles that restrict queue access permissions.
Why it's wrong here
Security roles govern record and queue access, not concurrent session limits; restricting queue access does not stop an agent receiving simultaneous chats. It is tempting because roles control agent capabilities, but the requirement needs workstream capacity and presence configuration, which roles cannot set.
