This option allows capturing multiple signatures on a service report by creating different signature types (such as customer approval or technician verification) and adding them to the service report template. Reference: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fs_signature_types.htm&type=5

Work Order Line Items can be used to link to specific Assets within an Asset Hierarchy that

represents a Bill of Materials (BoM). Work Order Line Items can also be used to create a hierarchy of

tasks that need to be performed in a sequence. Standard Reports do not show Parent and Root Work

Order Line Items within Work Orders by Customer. Work Order Line Items do not automatically

inherit

the

hierarchy

of

Assets

attached

to

Work

Order.

Service Resources are records that represent the people or equipment that perform field service

tasks[143]. Work Orders are records that track customer requests for service such as repairs or

maintenance[144]. Resource Absences are records that mark resources as unavailable for work for

specific time periods due to sickness, vacation, or other reasons[145]. If the Field Service Lightning

User Territory feature is enabled, these three objects will be visible to users who are part of the User

Territory by default[146]. Accounts are records that represent companies or individuals involved in

business with an organization[147]. Work Types are records that define the standard tasks and

duration for a specific type of work[148]. These two objects will not be visible to users who are part

of

the

User

Territory

by

default

unless

sharing

rules

are

configured[149].

Global optimization is a process that reschedules all service appointments within a specified time frame based on predefined criteria such as travel time or priority. It can be used when an extreme weather situation impacts both the volume of work and number of available resources at Universal Containers. Resource Schedule optimization is a process that reschedules service appointments assigned to a specific resource based on predefined criteria such as travel time or priority. It would not address the impact on other resources or unassigned service appointments. Emergency scheduling is a process that assigns emergency service appointments to available resources based on predefined criteria such as travel time or priority. It would not address the impact on existing service appointments or non-emergency service appointments. Customer first scheduling is a process that assigns service appointments based on customer p

such as preferred time slots or

preferred resources. It would not address the impact on resource availability or service level

agreements.

Work Orders are records that track customer requests for service such as repairs or maintenance[87].

Work Order Line Items are records that track specific tasks or products related to a work order[88].

Service Appointments are records that track the date, time, duration, and assigned resource for a

work order or work order line item[89]. Using this data model would allow Universal Containers’

technicians to follow a standard operating procedure while performing maintenance on an individual

asset by creating different work order line items for different operations and capturing notes and

status updates for each line item. It would also allow scheduling and dispatching one service

appointment for one visit. Service appointment to represent preventative maintenance on the asset

- work order line item to represent the different operations - work order to represent the visit would

not work because service appointments cannot be related directly to assets. Work order line item

represent preventative Maintenance on the asset - work order represent the different operations-

service appointment to represent visit would not work because work order line items cannot be

related

directly

to

assets.

An entitlement process is a timeline that shows every step and milestone involved in delivering

support to a customer. To use milestones on work orders, a separate entitlement process associated

to the work order object must be created and activated. Modifying the user’s profile, updating public

group membership, or assigning a Field Service Mobile License to the user would not enable

milestones

on

work

orders.

Excluded Resources are used to prevent certain service resources from being assigned to specific

accounts or locations based on customer feedback or p

. Assigning the Technician to a new

Service Territory would affect all their service appointments, not just those for that Customer.

Removing the Technician as a Preferred Resource would not prevent them from being assigned to

that Customer, but would lower their priority. Creating a new Work Order Validation Rule would not

affect the scheduling or optimization of service appointments, but would only validate data entry on

work

orders.

Time sheet entries are records that track the time spent by a service resource on a work order or a

work order line item[28]. Time sheet entries can be associated to work order line items or work

orders using lookup fields[29]. Assigned resources are records that assign a service resource to a

service appointment[30]. Service resources are records that represent the people or equipment that

perform field service tasks[31]. Time sheet entries cannot be associated to assigned resources or

service

resources

directly.

A Product Request record can be added to a Work Order to request a product from inventory for a

service appointment. A Work Type is a template that defines the duration, skills, and products

required for a work order or work order line item. A Service Appointment is a record that represents

a scheduled visit by a service resource to a customer location. A Service Report is a document that

summarizes

the

details

and

outcomes

of

a

service

appointment.

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 Resources Tab 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 or qualifications

that resources have[243]. Travel Time and Breaks are not 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

Product Items are records that track the location, quantity, and status of a product in inventory[43].

Product Items can be used to better understand the distribution of a critical and expensive part

across all inventory locations as the part is reused and restocked. Maintenance Plan is a feature that

defines the recurring service schedule for an asset or a product[44]. Entitlement Plan is a feature that

defines the terms of support for customers such as number of cases allowed or response time[45].

Assets are records that represent products that customers have purchased and that require

service[46].

This option allows the Resource Skill to expire when the certification expires, and prevents the resource from being scheduled for jobs that require that skill. Reference: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fs_resource_skills.htm&type=5

Match Boolean is an optimization criterion that prioritizes matching service appointments with

resources based on boolean fields such as certifications or p

[139]. Using Match Boolean in

the Scheduling Policy would allow Universal Containers to ensure that Service Appointments are only

assigned to Active Resources by creating a boolean field on the service resource object such as Active

Resource and setting it to true or false depending on their status. Match Fields is an optimization

criterion that prioritizes matching service appointments with resources based on fields such as skills

or territories[140]. Preferred Resources is an optimization criterion that prioritizes assigning service

appointments to resources who have previously completed similar work orders or who are preferred

by customers[141]. Required Resources is an optimization criterion that prioritizes assigning service

appointments to resources who are explicitly required by customers or dispatchers[142]. Reference:

A Service Appointment can be shared by clicking Sharing on the record if manual sharing is enabled

in Field Service settings[51]. Auto-generated scheduled Service Appointments will be shared with

resources if automatic sharing is enabled in Field Service settings[52]. The Service Appointment’s

parent record can be shared with the assigned resource, but this would not affect the sharing of the

Service Appointment itself. Making the dispatcher the assigned resource on the Service

Appointments would not make sense if they are not performing field service tasks. Reference:

Field History Tracking on Assets allows tracking location and status changes in the lifecycle of a

specific component in a customer’s install base by recording the date, time, nature, and user of each

change. A Work Order related list on Assets would show the work orders associated with an asset,

but not the location and status changes of the asset. A custom installation date field on Products

Consumed would show when a product was installed, but not the subsequent changes in the asset

lifecycle. A Product related list on Assets would show the products related to an asset, but not the

location

and

status

changes

of

the

asset.

Reshuffle allows the dispatcher to automatically reschedule service appointments for a specific date

range based on the current schedule and optimization rules1. In-day Optimization allows the

dispatcher to optimize the schedule for a specific resource or territory based on real-time events

such

as

cancellations

or

delays2.

Service Resources are records that represent the people or equipment that perform field service

tasks[199]. Permission Set Licenses are records that grant users access to specific features or apps

such as Salesforce Field Service[200]. Creating one Service Resource and assigning the relevant

Permission Set Licenses would allow Universal Containers to configure Salesforce Field Service to

support an employee who performs the role of a Dispatcher and a Technician by creating a service

resource record for the employee and assigning them the Salesforce Field Service Dispatcher and

Mobile permission set licenses[201]. Creating two Service Resources and assigning them to the

employee would not work because an employee can only be associated with one service resource

record[202]. Creating one Service Resource and assigning the Technician and Dispatcher role would

not work because roles are records that define the level of access users have to data in an

organization hierarchy[203]. Creating two Skills records and assign them to the Service Resource

record would not work because skills are records that define specific abilities or qualifications that

service resources have and do not affect their access to features or apps[204]. Reference:

Color Palettes are settings that allow dispatchers to customize the colors of service appointments on

the Gantt based on different criteria such as status, priority, or rule violations[154]. Appointment List

is a tool that allows dispatchers to view and filter service appointments in a list view based on

different criteria such as status, priority, or rule violations[155]. Using these two features on the

Dispatcher Console would allow visualizing Rule Violating Service Appointments by setting up color

codes or filters based on rule violations. Gantt is a tool that allows dispatchers to view and manage

service appointments on a timeline[156]. Gantt Map is a tool that allows dispatchers to view and

manage service appointments on a map[157]. Using these two features on the Dispatcher Console

would not allow visualizing Rule Violating Service Appointments by themselves unless combined

with

color

palettes

or

appointment

list.

Customer Entitlements are records that specify customers’ support terms based on their contracts or

warranties[38]. Customer Entitlements can be used to offer appropriate appointment booking

windows for Gold versus Standard Customers by defining different appointment windows for

different entitlement levels[39]. Service Due Date is a field on the work order object that indicates

when a work order must be completed by[40]. Customer Working Hours are records that define

when customers are available for service appointments[41]. Service Urgency is a field on the work

order object that indicates how quickly a work order must be completed[42]. Reference:
