Sort by Average Utilization is an option on the Resources Tab of the Gantt chart that allows sorting resources by their average utilization percentage[239]. Utilization is a metric that measures how much time a resource spends on service appointments compared to their total working hours[240]. Selecting Sort by Average Utilization on the ResourcesTab would allow Universal Containers to identify which resources need more or fewer appointments by showing them how busy each resource is based on their utilization percentage[241]. Selecting Date Resolution on the Hours Tab would not allow Universal Containers to identify which resources need more or fewer appointments. Date Resolution is an option on the Hours Tab of the Gantt chart that allows changing how many hours are shown per column such as 1 hour, 2 hours, or 4 hours[242]. Selecting Travel Time and Breaks as skills on the Skills Tab would not allow Universal Containers to identify which resources need more or fewer appointments. Skills are records that define specific abilities orqualifications that resources have[243]. Travel Time and Breaks arenot skills but fields on the Resource object that define how much time a resource spends traveling between service appointments and how much time they take for breaks[244]. Selecting Hours, Absences and Overtime on

Updating the Resource as not available allows marking a resource as unavailable for a specific time period due to sickness, vacation, or other reasons[27. Selecting the affected Service Appointments and pressing “Schedule” allows rescheduling multiple service appointments at once based on predefined criteria such as travel time or priority[28. Dragging and dropping the Service Appointments to other available Resources and running Optimization would reschedule service appointments manually and then run an optimization process that could override the manual changes[29. Asking the Customer Service Rep to call the customers and manually re-schedule for another day would not use the scheduling features of Field Service and could result in customer dissatisfactionor missed service level agreements. Changing the Scheduling Policy to “High Intensity” and activating the Background Optimization process would change the optimization criteria for all service appointments and run an optimization process in the backgroundthat could take a long time to complete[30.

Service Territory Location is a junction object that links Service Territory and Location objects[236]. Related Lists are components on page layouts that show records that are related to a record through a lookup or master-detail relationship[237]. Adding the Service Territory Location Related List on the Service Territory page layout and adding the Service Territory Location Related List on the Location page layout would allow Universal Containers to show howLocations are associated to Territories by displaying a list of Service Territory Locations on each record[238]. Creating the Service Territory Location as a Service Territory lookup field or creating the Service Territory Location as a Location lookup field would not work because they are not valid fields on either object.

Gantt Palettes allow the dispatcher to color code service appointments based on any field value, such as revenue or priority. References:https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fs_gantt_palettes.htm &type=5

The Exclude Technician from Geolocation Tracking permission allows disabling geolocation tracking for specific service resources by assigning them a permission set with this permission. Setting the Geolocation Update Frequency field tozero for contractors would not disable geolocation tracking, but would make it update less frequently. Unchecking the Geocoding field on the Contractor’s profile or the Collect Service Resource Geolocation History field in Field Service Mobile Settings would not affect geolocation tracking, as these are not related settings.

Operating Hours define when service resources are available for work and when customers can book appointments. The Time Slots for Appointment Booking setting determines how operating hours are divided into time slots that can be assigned to service appointments. The Maintenance Plan for the Account or the Due Date of the Service Appointment do not affect operating hours, but are used to generateand schedule recurring work orders.
