Choose an answer to begin — your selection is scored in the full session.

Accepted Answer

Set the technician's work hours to 'Unavailable' for the leave period.. By setting the technician's work hours to 'Unavailable' for the leave period, the scheduling engine will respect that availability setting and not assign work orders to that technician. Option A is incorrect because removing the resource role would remove their skill categorization but does not prevent assignment based on availability. Option B is incorrect because changing the booking status to 'Scheduled' does not affect future assignments; it is a status tracking field. Option C is incorrect because 'Respect Resource Scheduling Parameters' set to 'No' would ignore scheduling parameters, but that is not a per-technician setting and would disable the desired behavior.

Answer

Remove the technician's resource role.

Answer

Change the booking status of the work order to 'Scheduled'.

Answer

Set the scheduling parameter 'Respect Resource Scheduling Parameters' to 'No'.

Question 2

Question 13

Contoso Ltd. provides HVAC maintenance services and uses Dynamics 365 Field Service. They have 50 technicians organized into three service territories: North, South, and Central. Each technician has specific skills and certifications. Contoso wants to automatically assign emergency work orders to the nearest available technician with the required skills within 30 minutes of creation. Additionally, they want to ensure that no technician is assigned more than 8 hours of work per day. The dispatchers should be able to override automatic assignments if necessary. Which configuration should Contoso implement?

Accepted Answer

Configure Resource Scheduling Optimization with constraints for proximity, skills, and daily hours, and set auto-scheduling frequency to 30 minutes.. Resource Scheduling Optimization (RSO) can automatically assign work orders based on proximity, skills, and daily hour limits. By configuring constraints for 'Nearest Available' (proximity), required skills, and a maximum daily duration of 8 hours, and setting the auto-scheduling frequency to 30 minutes, all requirements are met. Dispatchers can override assignments manually via the Schedule Board.
