| 11 | +# Agent capacity issue in customer support assignment |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +This article addresses the issue where customer support representatives (CSRs) in Dynamics 365 Customer Service receive fewer than the configured number of customers before their status automatically changes to **Busy**. |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +## Symptoms |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +Customer support representatives (CSRs) are configured to handle a specific quota of customers (for example, five customers per CSR). However, their status changes to **Busy** after receiving fewer customers (for example, three customers), thereby preventing further customer assignments. |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +## Cause |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +This issue can occur due to the configuration of the workstream capacity units. Each customer case is assigned a specific number of capacity units, which determines how many customers an agent can handle simultaneously. |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +For example, consider the scenario: |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +- Each customer case is configured to consume 30 capacity units. |
| 26 | +- The total capacity assigned to the agent is 90 units. |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +In this scenario, even though the agent may be configured to handle five customer cases, they can only handle three simultaneously due to the total capacity limit (3 cases × 30 units each = 90 units total.) Once this capacity is reached, the agent's status changes to **Busy**. |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +## Resolution |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +To resolve this issue, adjust the total capacity units assigned to the affected agents. This ensures that the agent can handle the intended number of customers simultaneously. |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +1. Determine the required capacity: |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | + - Identify the number of customers an agent is expected to handle (for example, five customers.) |
| 37 | + - Determine the capacity units consumed by each customer case (for example, 30 units per case.) |
| 38 | + - Calculate the total capacity needed for the agent: Required capacity = Number of customers × Capacity units per case. For example: For five customers, the required capacity = 5 × 30 = 150 units. |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +2. Update the agent's capacity profile: |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | + - Go to the Dynamics 365 Customer Service admin settings. |
| 43 | + - Navigate to the capacity profiles for agents. |
| 44 | + - Increase the total capacity units for the affected agents to the calculated value (for example, 150 units for five customers.) |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +3. Save and test changes: |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | + - Save the updated capacity profile. |
| 49 | + - Test the configuration to ensure agents can now handle the desired number of customer cases without their status changing to **Busy**. |
