Which of the following is a component of an entitlement process?

The entitlement process within Salesforce Service Cloud is designed to ensure that customers receive the appropriate level of support based on their service agreements. One critical component of this process is the contract line items. They define the specific services and terms that have been agreed upon between the customer and the company. By outlining the details of the service commitment, including the SLA (Service Level Agreement) expectations, contract line items directly inform how entitlements are activated and managed within the system.

In contrast, while case history provides context on past interactions with the customer, it does not form part of the entitlement process itself. Queue membership relates to the assignment of cases to specific teams, which is significant for workflow but not directly tied to entitlements. Lastly, milestone actions are associated with specific performance goals within the entitlement but are not part of the initial structure that defines the entitlement process. Therefore, contract line items serve as the foundational component by establishing the terms of service that dictate how entitlements function.
