Detailed Skills Outline

1. Manage Cases in Customer Service (51–55%)

This is the largest and most foundational domain of the exam. It covers how records enter the system, how they are processed, and how modern AI tools assist agents.

Define and Configure Foundational Customer Service Components

Record Creation and Update Rules (ARC): Configure rules to automatically create or update system records (such as cases) from incoming channels like email, chat, and social activities; monitor rule execution using system jobs.

Case Resolution Experience: Configure and modify the case resolution dialog box, customize the resolution form, and manage status transitions (active, resolved, canceled).

Security Roles: Assign and configure security roles specific to Customer Service personas (e.g., Customer Service Representative, Manager).

Timeline Control: Configure the entity timeline; filter and display specific records, configure card forms, and enable Timeline Highlights.

Create and Administer Knowledge Management

Knowledge Base Search: Configure internal knowledge search capabilities, including search providers, relevance search parameters, and article linking to cases.

Tables for Knowledge Management: Configure settings for the knowledge article table; set up feedback mechanisms, rating systems, and categories.

Translated Knowledge Articles: Manage translations, multi-language support, and the localization lifecycle of articles.

External Knowledge Sources: Integrate, configure, and search external data sources from within the Dynamics 365 knowledge pane.

AI and Copilot for Knowledge: Configure AI suggestions for articles based on case context and implement Copilot-led knowledge article creation.

Manage Collaboration

Microsoft Teams Chat Integration: Configure embedded Teams chat capabilities inside the Customer Service workspace so agents can collaborate without leaving the record.

Teams Calling: Configure "Join a Teams call" functionalities for specific users.

Suggested Contacts: Use AI and rules-based suggestions to identify colleagues who have previously resolved similar cases.

Teams Collaboration Experience: Link Dynamics 365 records to Teams channels.

Manage Agents and Copilot in Service Features

Ask a Question: Configure generative AI question-answering for agents, including filtering content based on specific folders or tags.

AI Summaries: Configure automated summaries for active cases, timeline events, and ongoing conversation threads.

Draft a Response: Enable and configure Copilot to draft context-aware email replies and chat responses for agents.

Case Management Agent: Set up copilot agents to guide representatives through specific triage steps.

Agent Integration: Integrate third-party extensions, data plug-ins, and external knowledge stores directly with Copilot.

Create and Manage Service-Level Agreements (SLAs) for Cases

SLA Settings: Configure global SLA parameters, calendar settings (operating hours), and holiday schedules.

Power Automate Actions: Implement advanced actions (like notifications or field updates) when an SLA fails or nears its warning threshold by using Power Automate cloud flows.

Apply SLAs: Define how SLAs are automatically or manually applied to cases based on conditions.

SLA Items and KPIs: Define custom SLA Key Performance Indicators; establish applicability criteria, warning actions, and success criteria.

Timer Control: Add and configure the visual Timer Control component on entity forms to give agents real-time tracking against countdowns.

2. Configure Representative Experience and Routing (25–30%)

This domain targets how work is filtered, prioritized, and delivered to the correct agent desktop via advanced routing engines and modern multi-session workspaces.

Configure Routing

Workstreams: Create and configure workstreams to classify and distribute data records, chats, or voice interactions.

User Settings: Manage agent profiles, presence statuses, and operational availability.

Capacity Profiles: Configure capacity profiles to restrict or allow specific amounts of work based on work types (e.g., an agent can take 3 chats or 1 phone call concurrently).

Work Classification and Assignment: Build classification rules (extracting intent or sentiment) and assignment rulesets (assigning work via highest capacity or round-robin).

Basic Routing Rulesets: Create legacy or fundamental record-based routing rulesets for quick deployment.

Skills-Based Routing: Configure worker skill sets, rating models, and intelligent AI-driven skill finder models to map complex cases to specialized agents.

Queues: Create and maintain public and private queues; manage item assignment, and route generic table records.

Configure the Copilot Service Workspace (Multi-Session Interface)

Session Templates: Configure session layouts, including which side anchors or tabs open up by default when an agent accepts a case.

Experience Profiles: Create and assign App Profile Manager configurations to dictate which tools (Productivity pane, Timeline, Copilot) are visible to specific user cohorts.

Agent Inbox: Configure the centralized multi-session workspace Inbox view and design custom filtered views.

Application Tab Templates: Set up customized third-party web pages or entity views to open as tabs inside an active workspace session.

3. Extend Customer Service (15–20%)

This domain tests your ability to go beyond out-of-the-box configurations by leveraging Microsoft Dataverse, email systems, and customer voice surveys.

Configure Data Model and UI Components

Forms and Views: Create, edit, and optimize model-driven app forms (Main, Quick Create, Quick View) and public/system views.

Model-Driven App Components: Customize the Customer Service Hub or modern Workspace navigation sitemaps.

Tables and Columns: Create or modify Dataverse tables, custom columns (fields), and relationship types (1:N, N:1, N:N).

Alerts and Notifications: Set up system-wide in-app notifications to push alerts to agents.

Dataverse Search: Optimize search behavior by managing which columns are indexable for global search parameters.

Email Templates: Create and maintain rich global or entity-specific text/HTML email templates.

Capture Customer Feedback by Using Dynamics 365 Customer Voice

Survey Personalization: Design surveys with conditional logic, branding elements, variables, and parameters.

Distribution Automation: Trigger survey distributions automatically (e.g., via Power Automate) when a case transitions to a "Resolved" status.

Data Aggregation: Review and map survey response scores directly back to the originating case or contact record for analytics.

Preparation Tips for Candidates

Tip: The MB-230 exam leans heavily into real-world administrative tasks. To prepare efficiently, prioritize hands-on practice over reading definitions.

Spin Up a Sandbox: Utilize a Microsoft Power Apps/Dynamics 365 trial environment specifically with the Customer Service admin center app installed.

Test Copilot Features: Since Microsoft has heavily emphasized AI integration, make sure you understand how to configure and activate Copilot-led capabilities (summarization, draft generation, and custom knowledge sources).

Prerequisite Alignment: Although not strictly blocked, having knowledge of foundational PL-200 (Power Platform Functional Consultant) concepts is incredibly beneficial, as a significant chunk of the "Extend Customer Service" section utilizes standard Dataverse components.
