    The case table should definitely be available to you. Is it possible you already have a workstream created for the case table? I'm trying to double check the documentation, and I can't find it stated anywhere explicitly, but maybe if you already have a workstream on a table the system will prevent another from being created. The goal is that you would have all rules and configurations for a single table routing workstream listed within that workstream. Otherwise, you are going to need to set workstream priorities to know which gets processed first.
     
    • Check if there is an existing Case workstream, if there is, delete it or make you updates and changes on the existing record

    Hello LZ-13062018-0,
     

    You're encountering a common issue when setting up workstreams in the Dynamics 365 Customer Service admin center: the "Case" record type not being available. This usually stems from a few key configuration or licensing problems. Let's troubleshoot:

    Possible Causes and Solutions:

    1. Licensing:

      • Customer Service License Required: Workstreams and case routing are core features of Dynamics 365 Customer Service. Ensure you have the appropriate Customer Service licenses assigned to your users.
      • Contact Center License: If you're using Dynamics 365 Contact Center, it includes Customer Service capabilities. But, verify the license is correctly provisioned.
      • Trial Limitations: If you're using a trial environment, there might be limitations on certain features. Check the trial's terms and conditions .

    2. Environment Setup:
       
      • Customer Service App Installation: The Dynamics 365 Customer Service application needs to be installed in your environment. If it's not, the "Case" entity won't be available for workstream configuration.
      • Solution Installation: Check if the required Customer Service solutions are installed. Sometimes, incomplete or corrupted solution installations can cause issues.
      • Environment Type: Rarely, specific environment types might have limitations. Ensure your environment is a standard production or sandbox environment. 

    3. Permissions and Security Roles:

      • Insufficient Permissions: Your user account might lack the necessary permissions to configure workstreams.
      • System Administrator Role: Ensure your user has the System Administrator or a similar role with full administrative privileges.
      • Customer Service Roles: Verify that you have the required Customer Service specific roles. 

    4. Configuration Issues:

      • Entity Customizations: If the "Case" entity has been heavily customized or if there are conflicting customizations, it might not be available for workstream configuration.
      • Solution Layer Conflicts: Check for solution layer conflicts that might be affecting the "Case" entity. 

    5. Cache and Browser Issues:

      • Browser Cache: Clear your browser's cache and cookies.
      • Try a Different Browser: Test in a different browser to rule out browser-specific issues. 


      6.  

    Troubleshooting Steps:

    1. Verify Licensing:

      • Go to the Microsoft 365 admin center and check the user's assigned licenses.
      • Confirm that Dynamics 365 Customer Service or Dynamics 365 Contact Center licenses are present. 

    2. Check Environment Solutions:

      • Go to Settings > Solutions in your Dynamics 365 environment.
      • Verify that the Customer Service solutions are installed and up to date. 

    3. Confirm Security Roles:

      • Go to Settings > Security > Users.
      • Open your user record and check the assigned security roles.
      • Ensure you have System Administrator or Customer Service Administrator roles. 

    4. Test in a Different Environment:

      • If you have a sandbox or test environment, try creating a workstream there to see if the "Case" entity is available. This will help isolate environment-specific issues. 

    5. Review Customizations:

      • If you have made customizations to the Case entity, try temporarily disabling them to see if it resolves the issue. 

    6. Contact Microsoft Support:

       

      • If you've exhausted all troubleshooting steps, contact Microsoft Support. They can investigate the issue and provide specific guidance.

      7.  

    Key Recommendation:

    • Start by verifying your licensing and security roles. These are the most common causes of this issue.
