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.

Generation Horizon is a setting that defines how far in advance work orders should be generated from maintenance plans[126]. Defining a generation horizon of 14 days would allow Universal Containers to automatically generate Work Orders 14days before the next suggested maintenance date by creating work orders from maintenance plans within 14 days of their scheduled date[127]. Defining a generation timeframe of 14 days would not automatically generate Work Orders 14 days before the next suggested maintenance date. Generation Timeframe is a setting that defines how often work orders should be generated from maintenance plans[128]. Configuring Auto-generate Work Orders to True would not automatically generate Work Orders 14 days before the next suggested maintenance date. Auto-generate Work Orders is a setting that enables or disables the automatic generation of work orders from maintenance plans[129]. Defining a generation horizon of 20,160 minutes would not automatically generate Work Orders14 days before the next suggested maintenance date. Generation Horizon is measured in days, not minutes[130].

Maintenance Plans are records that define the recurring service schedule for an asset or a product such as quarterly, monthly, or weekly[59]. Configuring a Maintenance Plan would allow creating quarterlyservice appointments for one of the products sold by Universal Containers automatically based on predefined criteria such as start date, end date, or generation method[60]. Defining a repeating Work Type would not create quarterly service appointments automatically. Work Types are templates that define the duration, skills, and products required for a work order or work order line item[61]. Implementing Path for Work Orders would not create quarterly service appointments automatically. Path is a feature that displays key fields and guidance for each stage of a work order process[62]. Building a Process for Service Appointments would not create quarterly service appointments automatically. Processes are automated workflows that execute actions based on specified criteria such as updating fields, sending emails, or creating tasks[63].

Match Fields work rules are rules that restrict travel distance between home location and first appointment location for resources[64]. Including a Match Fields work rule would allowlimiting contractors to travel a maximum of 50 minutes from home by setting up criteria such as travel distance less than or equal to 50 minutes between home location field and first appointment location field[65]. Linking rules to Relevance Groups would not limit travel distance between home location and first appointment location for resources. Relevance Groups are groups of rules that apply only to specific types of services such as emergency or preventive maintenance[66]. Assigning a high efficiency score would not limit travel distance between home location and first appointment location for resources. Efficiency score is a metric that measures how well resources use their working hours based on factors

The Agent permission set gives access to create cases and work orders, view work types and work rules, book and manage appointments, assign mobile resources, and optimize schedules. References:https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fs_permission_sets.htm &type=5

Skills are records that define specific abilities orqualifications that service resources have[158].Skill Levels are fields on the skill object that indicate the proficiency or experience of a service resource in a skill[159]. Assigning Contractor 1 and 2 different Skill Levels for repair Work Type would allow Universal Containers to configure the Contractors’ experience by setting up criteria such as skill name equals repair and skill level equals high for Contractor 1 and low for Contractor 2. Assigning Contractor 1 as a Preferred Resource would not configure the Contractors’ experience. Preferred Resources are optimization criteria that prioritize assigning service appointments to resources who have previously completed similar work orders or who are preferred by customers[160]. Assigning Contractor 1 and2 different capacities for repair work would not configure the Contractors’ experience. Capacities are fields on the service resource object that indicate the number of hours available for work per day or week[161]. Assigning Contractor 2 as an Excluded Resource would not configure the Contractors’ experience. Excluded Resources are optimization criteria that prevent assigning service appointments to resources who are explicitly excluded by customers or dispatchers[162].
