Drip feed dispatching is a feature that allows dispatching service appointments gradually throughout the daybased on a drip feed rate defined for each service territory or resource. If other scheduled jobs are dispatching appointments and exceeding the drip feed value, then the drip feed dispatching will not trigger as expected. The appointment status going fromScheduled to Completed or being Canceled, Completed, or Cannot Complete does not affect drip feed dispatching, as these are valid status transitions for dispatched appointments. The default drip feed setting does not override the drip feed rate on a service territory, but provides a fallback value if no rate is specified on the territory or resource level.

Generation Timeframe is a field on the Maintenance Plan object that defines how many work orders should be generated from maintenance plans at a time such as 1, 2, or 12[229]. Auto-generate work orders is a field on the Maintenance Plan object that enables or disables the automatic generation of work orders from maintenance plans[230]. Setting Frequency to 1 Month; Generation Timeframe of 12; uncheck Auto-generate work orders would allow Universal Containers to offer customers a MaintenancePlan that provides 12 monthly checkups where the customer will call to schedule each visit by creating maintenance plans that generate one work order permonth for 12 months but do not generate them automatically until the customer calls[231]. Setting Frequency to 1 Month; Generation Timeframe of 1; check Auto-generate work orders would not allow Universal Containers to offer customers a Maintenance Plan that provides 12 monthly checkups where the customer will call to schedule each visit. It would create maintenance plans that generate one work order per month for one month and generate them automatically without waiting for customer calls. Setting Frequency to 1 Month; Generation Timeframe of 12; check Auto-generate work orders would not allow Universal Containers to offer customers a Maintenance Plan that provides 12 monthly checkups where the customer will call to schedule each visit.

Excluded Resources are used to prevent certain service resources from being assigned to specific accounts or locations based on customer feedback or preferences. Assigning theTechnician 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.

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.

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.
