Dynamics 365 Customer Service – Quality Evaluation Agent Evaluation Criteria Extensibility
Category:Dynamics 365 Apps
Nummer:MC1225428
Status:stayInformed
We are announcing Quality Evaluation Agent evaluation criteria versioning in Dynamics 365 Customer Service. This feature will reach general availability on February 6, 2026.

How does this affect me?
This feature enables supervisors to update published evaluation criteria that are used to measure quality across customer engagements. Every edit automatically creates a new criteria version, ensuring existing evaluations continue to run uninterrupted using the last known published version.

All criteria versions are accessible through the Evaluation Criteria Versioning History tab, providing full visibility into how criteria have evolved over time. Supervisors can review prior versions, restore any version to make it the current one, or discard draft changes as needed.

Supervisors can also run a simulation test to preview outcomes. This allows teams to validate changes, fine‑tune instructions, and verify expected outcomes before publishing updated criteria for live quality evaluations.

What action do I need to take?
This message is for awareness, and no action is required.

Dynamics 365 Customer Service – Quality Evaluation Agent Evaluation Criteria Extensibility
Category:Dynamics 365 Apps
Nummer:MC1225438
Status:stayInformed
We are announcing Quality Evaluation Agent Evaluation Criteria Extensibility in Dynamics 365 Customer Service. This feature will reach general availability on February 6, 2026.

How does this affect me?
This feature enables organizations to enforce a shared foundation of quality and brand values across all customer engagements while empowering individual business units to tailor evaluations to their unique needs. This allows teams to evolve quality standards at scale while maintaining governance, consistency, and clear visibility into evaluation outcomes across the organization.

Key capabilities of this feature include:
  • Source evaluation criteria: Define a source (base) evaluation criteria that represents core quality standards and brand principles.
  • Criteria extensibility: Business units extend the base criteria by adding BU‑specific requirements while automatically inheriting the same baseline quality standards. This ensures all extended criteria follow a consistent source of truth.
  • Automatic propagation of updates: When the source criteria is updated, changes are auto‑published to all extended criteria, keeping standards aligned without manual rework.
  • Versioning and simulation support: Supervisors can view criteria versions in the Evaluation Criteria Versioning History tab, select any version, and run simulations to validate changes before publishing.
  • Evaluation outcome visibility: Evaluation details clearly show outcomes and scores by source criteria and extended criteria, providing transparency into how the baseline and BU‑specific extensions contribute to the final quality results. This helps supervisors understand scoring breakdowns, compare impacts, and maintain confidence in quality measurements.

Dynamics 365 Customer Service – Leverage Quality Evaluation Agent simulation to test & fine tune evaluation criteria
Category:Dynamics 365 Apps
Nummer:MC1225451
Status:stayInformed
We are announcing the ability to leverage Quality Evaluation Agent simulation to test & fine tune evaluation criteria in Dynamics 365 Customer Service. This feature will reach general availability on February 6, 2026.

How does this affect me?
This feature enables supervisors to validate new or updated evaluation criteria using real customer engagement data and see predicted outcomes before rolling the criteria out broadly. With the following capabilities introduced with this feature, supervisors can simulate evaluation criteria on a controlled sample of real engagements, iterate quickly, then publish.
  • Run simulations directly from Evaluation Criteria to test how your criteria will score real cases without mixing test runs into production evaluation history.
  • Choose which records to test using selection controls (e.g., filtering/conditions) so you can target the right scenarios and validate predictions against the interactions that matter most.
  • Review Quality Evaluation Agent’s predicted answers and outcomes to confirm the criteria is producing the intended results, then refine questions and instructions and rerun one or more simulations until outcomes match your expectations.
  • Support draft and published criteria testing with governance tied to criteria versions, so you can test safely and keep clarity on what was validated before publication.
  • Track simulation runs for a criterion (including rerun/retrigger workflows in the experience) so teams can iterate efficiently during tuning and rollout readiness.
  • Publish when ready. Once validated, you can confidently publish the updated criteria and use it for quality evaluations at enterprise scale.
