Which control failed

Learn it in 5 minutes

If the work never reaches a queue, read classification and the route-to-queue rules, then the fallback queue. If it reaches the queue and the wrong person gets it, read the assignment method, presence, capacity, and skills. If the queue is staffed for the wrong interval, read the forecast scenario type before you edit the assignment method. If the conversation happened and the score is the dispute, read whether the plan used an indicator or a guardrail, and whether it ran in real time or on close.

Recording is the same habit. Check the Dynamics announcement and the Teams policy separately. None of these controls is an employment action. The assignment, forecast, and quality pages each say not to use them for compensation, rewards, seniority, or similar decisions. The chart is the order you check. It is not a count of incidents.

Check classification, then assignment, then the forecast type, then the quality plan. Recording stays two controls.

Worked example

I name the control that failed before I change a different one.

1. No queue Classification and fallback
2. Wrong person Assignment method
3. Wrong day Forecast type
4. Wrong score Indicator or guardrail

If it fails: A forecast miss is debugged by rewriting the assignment rules.

Glossary

• Least active assignment The assignment-methods page says least active is available for voice and messaging only, and is the default selection when you create a voice or messaging queue. Config: The page says the last-capacity-release data is in msdyn_agentchannelstate. It also says not to use the feature for employment decisions. Fault: Least active is promised on a record queue.
• Quality evaluation plan The quality and coaching page, which applies to Dynamics 365 Contact Center only, says an evaluation plan sets the criteria, the conversations, the timing, and the actions. Config: The page names the Omnichannel Administrator role, plus consumption-based billing and capacity. It says not to use the feature for employment decisions. Fault: A plan is activated before any indicator exists in the quality library.
• Quality guardrail On the quality and coaching page, a guardrail defines a required or prohibited behavior. Guardrails are evaluated for violations rather than assigned numeric scores, and each has a priority. Config: Set priority and optional nudge text, then activate the guardrail before you add it to a plan. Fault: A prohibited behavior is given a numeric score because the indicator form was copied.
• Short-term forecast The forecasting overview says a short-term scenario predicts volume and average handle time in 15-minute intervals for a horizon of up to six weeks (42 days), using a linear trend on internal or external data. Config: The same page says a long-term scenario is daily, up to three years (1,096 days). Weighted average is marked preview. Fault: A six-week forecast is read as a daily three-year plan.
