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.

 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.

This option allows visualizing the planned travel route for a technician on a map, based on the street-level directions and traffic conditions. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fs_street_level_routing.htm &type=5

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 how Locations 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.

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. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fs_time_sheets_overview.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fs_time_sheet_entries_overview.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fs_assigned_resources_overview.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fs_service_resources_overview.htm &type=5

These two applications allow viewing all of the absence records at once, as they support displaying related lists on objects such as service resources or service territories. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fs_absences_overview.htm &type=5

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

This option allows generating a report in the customer’s language by selecting the language from a picklist field on the work order record. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fs_service_reports_language.htm &type=5

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

Work Types are templates that define the duration, skills, and products required for a work order or work order line item. By creating Work Types and Skill Requirements for Install, Break-fix, and Inspections, Universal Containers can standardize creation of Work Orders with the correct skills and estimated time to completion. Work Order Record Types for Break-fix, Install, and Inspection would allow creating different page layouts and picklist values for different types of work orders, but not define skills and duration. Work Type Line Items for Install, Break-fix, and Inspections would allow creating templates for work order line items, but not work orders. Work Order custom fields to define Install, Break-fix, and Inspections would allow capturing additional information for different types of work orders, but not define skills and duration. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fs_work_types.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fs_work_orders.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fs_work_order_line_items.htm &type=5

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.

This option allows creating a record to request products from another inventory location and adding product request line items for each product requested. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fs_product_requests_overview.htm &type=5

These two ways allow dispatching the appropriate technicians based on customer feedback, as they allow defining which resources are preferred or avoided by customers or accounts. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fs_resource_preferences.htm &type=5

Status Transitions are settings that define which status updates are allowed or restricted for service appointments[205]. Pinned Statuses are settings that prevent service appointments from being rescheduled or unscheduled by scheduling or optimization services[206]. Ensuring that Status Transitions are configured to prevent the update from “Cannot Complete” to “Scheduled” and defining “Cannot Complete” as a Pinned Status for Scheduling and Optimization Services would allow Universal Containers to ensure that Service Appointments in a “Cannot Complete” status are unable to be rescheduled or unscheduled for history tracking purposes by restricting the status change from “Cannot Complete” to “Scheduled” and preventing scheduling or optimization services from moving or removing service appointments with the “Cannot Complete” status[207]. Defining “Cannot Complete” as a Pinned Status for Auto-Dispatch Services would not affect whether Service Appointments in a “Cannot Complete” status are able to be rescheduled or unscheduled. Auto-Dispatch Services are settings that automatically assign service appointments to resources based on predefined criteria[208]. Ensuring that Status Transitions are configured to allow the status update from “Cannot Complete” to “Scheduled” would not ensure that Service Appointments in a “Cannot Complete” status are unable to be rescheduled or unscheduled. It would enable the status change from “Cannot Complete” to “Scheduled”.

These two objects are required when configuring an optimization job, as they define the scope and the criteria for the optimization process. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fs_optimizer_overview.htm &type=5

Maintenance Plans are records that define recurring work orders for preventive maintenance such as inspections or tune-ups[188]. Auto-generate Work Orders is a setting that enables or disables the automatic generation of work orders from maintenance plans[189]. Generation Timeframe is a setting that defines how often work orders should be generated from maintenance plans such as daily, weekly, or monthly[190]. Generation Horizon is a setting that defines how far in advance work orders should be generated from maintenance plans such as 7 days or 30 days[191]. Auto-generating Work Orders with a 14 day Generation Timeframe and a 14 day Generation Horizon would allow Universal Containers to automatically generate Work Orders 14 days before the next suggested maintenance date by creating work orders from maintenance plans every 14 days within 14 days of their scheduled date. Associating a Required Skill called Site Visit to a Maintenance Plan would not affect how far in advance work orders are generated from maintenance plans. Required Skills are fields on the maintenance plan object that indicate which skills are needed for performing preventive maintenance[192]. Associating a Work Type called Site Visit to a Maintenance Plan would not affect how far in advance work orders are generated from maintenance plans. Work Types are records that define the standard tasks and duration for a specific type of work[193].

Contractors are external users who can access Field Service features such as work orders, service appointments, assets, products consumed, etc… There are two types of contractor licenses available: Contractor (Full Access) and Contractor (Limited Access). Contractor (Full Access) licenses allow users to access all Field Service features except scheduling optimization. Contractor (Limited Access) licenses allow users to access only work orders assigned to them or their crew members via mobile app or web browser[22. Universal Containers should deploy 25 Contractor (Full Access) licenses to contractors who need to schedule resources and 75 Contractor (Limited Access) licenses to contractors who need access to work orders, assets, mobile app, and chatter.
