Question 1

A team wants a business rule to auto-close cases when a workaround email is sent so SLAs stop immediately. Why is that poor CSM design?

Answer choices

  • A. SLAs only measure time after closure

  • B. Targeted Communications closes cases when campaigns send

  • C. SLAs never apply to email channels

  • D. Auto-closing skips customer acceptance of the proposed solution (Correct)

Explanation

Customers should accept or reject resolutions in Resolved before closure. SLAs start, pause, and stop on case attributes during active work—not only at closure. SLAs apply regardless of channel. Targeted Communications distributes publications; it does not close cases.

Question 2

When Social is selected as the channel on a customer service case, how are conversation details captured?

Answer choices

  • A. Social Profile on the case with details in Social Logs (Correct)

  • B. Messages stored on Connect Support chat records in the chat queue

  • C. Conversations converted to Email Interaction in the activity stream

  • D. OpenFrame Interaction Controls required for every social transcript

Explanation

Selecting Social adds a Social Profile field and records communications in the Social Logs related list on the case. Connect Support handles portal chat, not social channel logs. Email Interaction is a separate channel. OpenFrame applies to voice/CCaaS interactions, not social logging on cases.

Question 3

External SaaS customers report password reset failures. What approach matches CSM guidance?

Answer choices

  • A. Move all internal and external support into one CSM app

  • B. Log external access issues as CSM cases; integrate with ITSM when internal teams must act (Correct)

  • C. Avoid CSM and build custom ITSM tables for customers

  • D. Always use Incident for every password reset

Explanation

CSM cases preserve customer context for external users; ITSM incidents or changes can be created for backend work while the case remains the customer record. Incidents target internal IT service restoration. Consolidating employee support into CSM blurs ITSM separation. Custom ITSM tables bypass standard CSM capabilities.

Question 4

Onboarding cases with specific attributes should auto-create identity verification, data setup, and welcome-call tasks. Which combination supports that?

Answer choices

  • A. Case type plus Playbook with create case task actions (Correct)

  • B. Assignment group changes on the base case table only

  • C. Case digests sent when onboarding cases are created

  • D. Major Issue Management with a parent and child cases

Explanation

A dedicated onboarding case type defines the process; Playbook stages with create case task actions generate the standard task set when criteria match. Assignment groups route work but do not create task templates. Digests summarize cases; they do not spawn tasks. Major Issue Management coordinates widespread outages, not onboarding workflows.

Question 5

An administrator must auto-route high-priority database cases to database-skilled, available agents. What should be configured first?

Answer choices

  • A. A workflow with manual approval steps

  • B. A business rule on case insert

  • C. A matching rule defining case and resource conditions (Correct)

  • D. An assignment rule with no linked matching rule

Explanation

CSM routing starts with a matching rule that defines case attributes and agent resource conditions. Assignment rules are then created from the matching rule to perform assignment when conditions match. Business rules and workflows are not the primary routing mechanism. Assignment rules alone lack the matching logic.
