Learning Objectives

One policy isn’t enough, fine-tuning scheduling policies, create a scheduling policy, add a work rule, change the weight of service objectives.

• Challenge +500 points

Customize a Scheduling Policy

After completing this unit, you’ll be able to:

• Describe the standard scheduling policies.
• Create a scheduling policy.
• Add a work rule.
• Change the weight of a service objective.

Scheduling policies rely on specific scenarios. The scheduler uses these scenarios to create the best schedule. But scenarios vary depending on how the day unfolds. Let’s take the scenario of an ideal day. You scheduled your appointments automatically, and not many of them moved during the day. Your standard scheduling policy gets you through just fine.

Sometimes your day doesn’t match this scenario. Suppose there’s an emergency, like a local power outage, and you must reschedule all the appointments in a given territory. Or a lot of high-priority appointments come in at once and you must move lower priority appointments. Or a product must be recalled immediately and you’ve installed it everywhere. Or...you get the idea.

Luckily, the dispatcher console comes with several scheduling policies, each designed for a different scenario. As the day changes, the dispatcher selects the scheduling policy that matches their current scenario.

Maria decides to start out using the standard Customer First policy. Her dispatchers can choose different scheduling policies during the day if their situation changes.

• Visualize. Implement and capture data about your field service organization.
• Automate. Use this information to reduce manual processes and errors.
• Optimize. Refine and improve your automatic tasks.
• Innovate. Lead and disrupt the field service industry.

Ursa Major is just starting out. Maria is at the visualize and automate stages. She’s most concerned with using basic scheduling tools to gather data. She wants to see how long appointments take, how accurate travel times are, how often appointments run long or short, and more. When she has enough data, she can start to improve her field service team’s results with optimization and innovation.

Maria creates a policy based on the standard Customer First policy. She plans to customize it as she gathers information about how scheduling works at Ursa Major.

• Click the Field Service Settings tab and click Go to Guided Setup .
• If Guided Setup checks permissions sets, click Go to Guided Setup again.
• Click Customize Scheduling Policies .
• Hover over the policy to clone. Maria hovers over Customer First .

• Click the new policy. Maria clicks Copy Of Customer First .
• Enter the new policy’s name. Maria enters Ursa Major Customer First .

Maria has a brand-new scheduling policy. It uses the same values as the standard Customer First policy, but changes she makes to the new policy don’t affect the standard policy. That way, she can tweak her new policy but keep the standard Customer First policy to refer to.

• In the new Ursa Major Customer First policy, scroll to Work Rules.
• Use the arrows to add the work rule to the list of Selected Rules. Maria adds Ursa Major Resource Availability .

Now service appointments can’t be scheduled during lunch break without creating a rules violation. Maria’s team is so glad to have their lunch hours clear that they bring her tacos on Tuesdays for a month!

Maria starts changing the weights of her service objectives to see how these changes affect the Ursa Major schedule. She wants to find the best possible combination that supports business priorities and optimizes productivity.

• In Guided Setup, click the scheduling policy. Maria clicks Ursa Major Customer First .
• Scroll to Service Objectives.
• Drag the slider to the desired weight. Maria sets ASAP to 5 and Minimize Travel to 1 .
• In the service appointments list, select Optimize .

Maria has already set up her org to use optimization by creating an optimization user and assigning the correct permissions. It takes a few minutes to run. Maria uses the time to get a glass of sparkling water for her taco lunch. After a long sip, she views her new schedule.

The scheduled time goes down by one hour and the average travel time increases by one minute per appointment. When this reduction is multiplied over time, this change decreases productivity significantly. She doesn’t want that outcome.

Next, she decreases the weight of ASAP to 1 and increases Minimize Travel to 5. She optimizes again. Here’s the new Gantt.

Travel time goes down by 1 minute per appointment over the standard weighting and is 2 minutes less than the ASAP version she just tried. Plus, her scheduled time is better than for ASAP and the same as the standard scheduling policy. She’ll see how this change works out over time. But it looks like increasing the weight of Minimize Travel helps Ursa Major complete more jobs. Maria is excited to see how small changes to the weight of service objectives can lead to big changes in productivity.

In this unit, Maria learned how scheduling policies apply to certain scenarios, viewed the list of standard policies, and created her own scheduling policy. Then she customized it by adding a work rule and changing the weight of the service objectives.

Salesforce Enthusiast Field Service

Geocoding and routing in salesforce field service.

• Ensure data is entered in the correct address compound fields (e.g. town is not accidentally defined in the street attribute of an address).
• Ensure proper spaces between words (e.g. 123 Main Street).
• If you have enabled State/Country picklists in your org, ensure you are populating the Country value for the addresses. Not doing so can prevent the address from being geocoded.
• Store apartment/suite/building numbers separately. These can confuse geocoding services.
• Remove special characters.
• To minimize risk of improper geocoding, avoid abbreviation where possible. For example, Lane tends to yield better results than it's abbreviation equivalent (Ln.).

Best Practice 2: After you've ensured address data integrity, you will want to ensure that all your jobs are geocoded. One way to do this is ensure that each Service Appointment or Resource Absence has a geolocation if it has an address. This validation can be performed using a trigger which compares the address of the record to the latitude and longitude fields accessible by the API. Best Practice 3: Ensure that all jobs are geocoded accurately . Once you've done your due diligence to ensure address level data integrity, inspect the accuracy of the geolocation that the geocoding service was able to resolve. To do this you can query against the API acccessible field "GeolocationAccuracy" on Service Appointment or Resource Absence records or, alternatively, use standard Salesforce reporting to sample this. If using standard reports you'll want to create a custom field on the Service Appointment or Resource Absence and set it to the value of the "GeolocationAccuracy" field as the field is API accessible only. Address, NearAddress, Block, and Street are values for this field which yield very accurate results as far as travel time is concerned. See this article for a list of all possible accuracy values. Tips For Service Appointments which do not have accurate geolocation coordinates, you might choose to hard define the values for latitude and longitude on the Service Appointment based on your own workflow, integration, geocoding service, or otherwise. If you're finding that most of the time Salesforce geocodes addresses accurately, you might choose to leave the native geocoding service (Data Integration Rules for Service Appointment found in Setup) activated. Conversely you may choose to use an alternate geocoding service altogether and if so you might consider turning off Salesforce’s data integration rules so that it will not overwrite custom latitude and longitude values if an address is defined. Note again that geocoding services can yield different results depending on the specific geography that is geocoded. As such, the estimated travel time between geolocations in Field Service may differ from the travel time between the locations when routed in the technician's mapping tool of choice. For example in Field Service, the Google Maps time/distance prediction used for scheduling purposes and travel estimation is based off of Salesforce’s geocoding service, Data.com. If the mobile user opens the Field Service Mobile app and their Service Appointment address in the mapping tool of their choice, the route may be produced differently based on that application's geocoding of the parameter address. This can cause a discrepancy between the travel time that was originally budgeted to the technician which can cause issues adhering to SLAs among others. One approach to this behavior is to clear out the address on the Service Appointment (you can place it in another field for reference if desired). This will ensure that the mobile user will see the custom latitude/longitude of the appointment within Field Service Mobile and can open this geolocation (rather than address) in any mapping service such as Google Maps, Apple Maps, etc., and routing will be produced via these coordinates.

Guidelines for Avoiding Apex CPU Timeouts in Field Service

Apex CPU timeout is a common limit that is sometimes reached during the Appointment Booking or Candidates actions. This timeout occurs when too many available candidates or too many scheduling slots are provided for appointment booking.

Required Editions

The more scheduling slot options available, the more processing time is required to validate each option according to every work rule in the scheduling policy and to grade each option by each of the objectives in the scheduling policy.

When you call an Appointment Booking or Get Candidates action using the Apex API, the custom code before and after the API call can also cause this Apex CPU timeout. We recommend trying to optimize this code and avoid long processing time.

To prevent Apex CPU timeouts during Appointment Booking or Get Candidates actions:

• Enable Enhanced Scheduling and Optimization at least for the territories that get the Apex CPU timeout exception. Enhanced Scheduling and Optimization calculates the time slots in a service outside the Salesforce org where no CPU timeout limits apply.
• Match Territory
• Working Territories
• Maximum Travel from Home
• Extended Match
• Reduce the horizon of the Appointment Booking and Get Candidates operations. You can change the horizon per service appointment by decreasing the gap between the Due Date and the Earliest Start Time, or it can be changed for all your users in Field Service Settings under Scheduling in the General Logic tab. Select the maximum days to get candidates or book an appointment.
• For Appointment Booking, reduce the number of time slots in the operating hours used for appointment booking.
• Enable async logic for problematic service appointments by selecting Use Async Logic on the service appointment, available when you’re not using Enhanced Scheduling and Optimization. Using async logic ensures the Appointment Booking calculation runs in a future job with more CPU time, though the duration to retrieve slots isn’t guaranteed. Future jobs run when the platform decides to do so, such that these jobs can be held in the queue for some time. The slots aren’t returned in the same transaction. The job creates an FSL operation object that helps get the results when you’re using the OOTB FSL actions for Appointments Booking or Get Candidates. If you’re using custom code for these actions, some development can be required to enable you to get the slots when using async logic.
• Enable Limit Apex Operations in Field Service Settings, available when you’re not using Enhanced Scheduling and Optimization. Limiting Apex operations restricts processing time for the specific scheduling operation, terminating the process when the specified percentage of the timeout limits is reached. The outcome comprises results that have completed processing within the stipulated timeframe. The OOTB UI and API clearly indicate partial processing of results, including the number of service resources completed and the total count of resources involved.

WGS 84 coordinate reference system is the latest revision of the World Geodetic System, which is used in mapping and navigation, including GPS satellite navigation system (the Global Positioning System).

Geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) define a position on the Earth’s surface. Coordinates are angular units. The canonical form of latitude and longitude representation uses degrees (°), minutes (′), and seconds (″). GPS systems widely use coordinates in degrees and decimal minutes, or in decimal degrees.

Latitude varies from −90° to 90°. The latitude of the Equator is 0°; the latitude of the South Pole is −90°; the latitude of the North Pole is 90°. Positive latitude values correspond to the geographic locations north of the Equator (abbrev. N). Negative latitude values correspond to the geographic locations south of the Equator (abbrev. S).

Longitude is counted from the prime meridian ( IERS Reference Meridian for WGS 84) and varies from −180° to 180°. Positive longitude values correspond to the geographic locations east of the prime meridian (abbrev. E). Negative longitude values correspond to the geographic locations west of the prime meridian (abbrev. W).

UTM or Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate system divides the Earth’s surface into 60 longitudinal zones. The coordinates of a location within each zone are defined as a planar coordinate pair related to the intersection of the equator and the zone’s central meridian, and measured in meters.

Elevation above sea level is a measure of a geographic location’s height. We are using the global digital elevation model GTOPO30 .
