Q35. A division of Green Energy Solutions has different work hours for each day, and the daily hours are inconsistent from one week to another (example: this Monday 9 am-4 pm, this Tuesday 8 am-6 pm, next Monday 8 am-3 pm, next Tuesday 9 am-2 pm). This creates a lot of overhead.
What can an administrator configure to add efficiencies into their scheduling process and mitigate administrative overhead?

Create Operating Hours for all combinations and build a workflow to change the Service Territory Operating Hours every week

Create Operating Hours with no availability, and use Shifts to define the daily changing availability

Create Operating Hours that encompasses all the hours, then create non availabilities for the hours that are off on a given day

Create a Service Territory with Operating Hours that encompasses all the hours, then create jobs for the specific hours needed to be covered

Q36. Green Energy Solution is getting more work for the next 3 weeks. They are engaging a new third-party contractor to help with some work for that time.
What should the admin recommend?

Creating a Resource and giving it capacity for the next 3 weeks

Creating a Resource and deleting it after 3 weeks

Creating a Capacity Based Resource and giving it capacity for the next 3 weeks

Creating a Capacity Based Resource and deleting it after 3 weeks

Q37. A dispatcher notices that the Service Territory schedule for the next week is full with routine maintenance appointments, while there are several urgent repair jobs still waiting to be scheduled in the appointment list.
Which three actions should the dispatcher take to schedule the urgent repair jobs?

Manually update the ‘Assigned Resource’ on each of the urgent repairs

Check the ‘Scheduling Priority’ of the repair and maintenance Service Appointments

Use ‘Global Optimization’ to optimize the territory schedule for the next week

Ensure that the maintenance Service Appointments are not ‘Pinned’ and can be rescheduled

Invoke ‘Resource Schedule Optimization’ for each Service Resource in the Service Territory

Q38. Green Energy Solutions employs a field workforce and must ensure they have coverage to respond to emergencies, which may occur at any given time. GES’ field service organization consists of several business units configured as Service Territories, of which a resource may support simultaneously.
Resources do not work in more than a single timezone at a given time, however, GES is looking for a solution to allow their resources to be available for emergency work in the off-hours, in all the territories that they may support.
Which solution should a consultant recommend?

Service Resources cannot be assigned to more than one Service Territory

Create a shift for each Service Territory the Service Resource may belong to, set the time slot type to
‘Designated’ to apply to emergencies only, and verify that the shift is contained in the Primary Territory membership dates

Create a shift for the Service Resource without a specified Service Territory, use recordset filter criteria to apply to emergencies only, and verify that the shift is contained in the Primary Territory membership dates

Create a shift for the Service Resource without a specified Service Territory, set the time slot type to
‘Designated’ and verify that the shift is contained in the Primary Territory membership dates

Q39. Green Energy Solutions would like to track their vehicles’ availability, so that once a Work Order is created, both a Service Resource and a vehicle need to be assigned to the work, to ensure that the resource will use an available vehicle for the job.
How would a consultant recommend implementing this requirement?

Set the vehicle as a ‘Required Product’. Once a resource is assigned to the work a ‘vehicle’ product will be consumed via the Field Service mobile App to indicate that this vehicle is being used

Set the vehicle as a Service Resource, create a Work Order and two Service Appointments, one for the mobile worker and one for the vehicle, use ‘Complex Work’ with a dependency of type ‘Immediately Follow’

Set the vehicle as a ‘Required Product’. Once the Work Order is created it will inherit the ‘Required Product’ and notify the resource that this vehicle needs to be used for the job

Q40. Universal Containers want a way to automatically update customers on the technician’s arrival time.
What feature of Salesforce Field Service will support this requirement?

Proactive Notification

Technician Tracker

Where’s my Technician?

Appointment Assistant

Q41. After running an optimization request for the next day, the dispatcher at Green Energy Solutions had noticed that the schedule of most of the Service Appointments has not changed at all, even though there were other better available options, considering the Service Objectives defined within the Scheduling Policy that was used for the Global Optimization.
What are three potential reasons for this behavior? (Choose 3 options)

Most of the Service Appointments had an Arrival Window defined

Most of the Service Appointments were in a status that’s considered as ‘Pinned’ by Global Optimization

Most of the Service Appointments were scheduled while violating one or more of the Work Rules defined within the Scheduling Policy that was used for the optimization

Most of the Service Appointments had the ‘Pinned’ checkbox set to ‘True’

Most of the Service Appointments had a very high priority

Q42. Universal Containers would like the Service Appointment times that are displayed on the ‘Dispatcher Console’ to reflect the actual times a field worker starts and completes the work. That way, if they finish early, they might be able to add additional work to the new white space.
What implementation approach should the Field Service consultant recommend?

Create two custom date/time fields to track the original scheduled times. Create a Field Service Mobile flow that will allow a field worker to update the ‘Scheduled Start’ and ‘Actual Start’ fields when they change the ‘Status’ to ‘In Progress’ and updates the ‘Scheduled End’ and ‘Actual End’ fields when they change the ‘Status’ to ‘Completed’. Advise Universal Containers that there could be instances where the
‘Dispatcher Console’ will not update right away if the field worker is offline

Create a Service Appointment action for ‘Check In’ for the field worker to manually update the ‘Status’,
‘Scheduled Start’ and ‘Actual Start’ fields. Create another Service Appointment action for ‘Check Out’ for the field worker to manually update the ‘Status’, ‘Scheduled End’ and ‘Actual End’ fields

Tell Universal Containers that it is not a best practice to change the ‘Scheduled Start’ and ‘Scheduled End’ fields. It would be good for Universal Containers to know what the original ‘Scheduled Start’ and the original ‘Scheduled End’ values were and compare them with the ‘Actual Start’ and ‘Actual End’ fields for reporting scheduling efficacy

Create a Field Service Mobile flow that will allow a field worker to update the ‘Scheduled Start’ and
‘Actual Start’ fields when they change the ‘Status’ to ‘In Progress’ and updates the ‘Scheduled End’ and
‘Actual End’ fields when they change the ‘Status’ to ‘Completed’

Q43. A customer shares with the consulting partner that the dispatchers, mobile resources and planners are very frustrated with the fact that the old Field Service system and processes are being replaced. They keep on saying that they won’t be using the new system and that they are tired from all the changes within the company.
What should a consultant recommend in this case?

Add to the implementation the usage of the Field Service Mobile App

Recommend on outsourcing the job to third-party contractors

Invest more time in training and focus on one Business Unit / Service Territory for the first phase

Create flows to make processes as automated as possible

Q44. Green Energy Solutions has resources in multiple countries and time zones. Each country has different holidays and permitted working hours.
What should the consultant configure to support this?

Service Territories, Resource Capacity and Business Hours

Service Territories, Operating Hours and Resource Absences

Work Types, Resource Availabilities and Operating Hours

Skills, Operating Hours, Time Slots and Holidays

Q45. Green Energy Solutions are trying to forecast the number and type of licenses needed to be purchased to support the following resource structure:
Service Territory A has 2 internal resources and 2 contractors set as capacity-based resources: ABC and XYZ, both represent a contractor company. ABC contracting company has 3 individual resources and XYZ contracting company has 4 individual resources.
What type of Field Service licenses and how many of each should Green Energy Solutions purchase?

2 Dispatchers, 2 Technicians, and 1 Contractor, plus 7 Contractors (3 for ABC and 4 for XYZ)

1 Dispatcher, 9 Technicians, and 2 Contractors

1 Dispatcher, 1 Technician, and 3 Contractors, plus 7 Contractors (3 for ABC and 4 for XYZ)

1 Dispatcher, 2 Technicians, and 2 Contractors, plus 7 Contractors (3 for ABC and 4 for XYZ)

Q46. Universal Containers has a job that requires two technicians, and both must possess the skills defined as
‘Required’ for that job. They need to show up at the same time and work through the entire job duration together. The technicians will also need to be able to be assigned to individual jobs later that day.
Which option should an architect recommend to support this scenario?

One Work Order, one child Service Appointment and two Assigned Resources

One Work Order, two child Service Appointments with Appointment Dependency of ‘Same Start’ between them

One Work Order, one child Service Appointment with one Assigned Resource and a Work Order Line Item to store the second resource. Set Resource Absence on the second resource for the duration of the joint service

Service Crew Resource related to one Crew and two Crew Members assigned for the whole day

Q47. Which parts of the ‘Dispatcher Console’ support adding Custom Actions? (Choose 3 options)

Child Service Territories in the Gantt

Individual Service Resources in the Gantt

Multiple Service Resources in the Gantt

Multiple Service Appointments in the Appointment list

Individual Service Appointments in the Appointment list

Q48. Universal Containers has a requirement that during the first month of working, junior Service Resources need to be escorted by a senior experienced employee who guides them on how to complete the job.
How would a consultant implement this requirement?

Use Crews, model the two resources as members of a Crew and one Service Appointment assigned to the Crew

Create a Work Order and Work Order Line Item (WOLI) as a child record, each WOLI with a Service Appointment, one Service Appointment that is assigned to the junior resource and the second is assigned to the senior resource

Use ‘Multi Stage Work’ – clone the Service Appointment and create a dependency of type
‘Immediately Followed’

Use ‘Multi Stage Work’ – clone the Service Appointment and create a dependency of type ‘Same Start’

Q49. A customer wants to collect a mobile worker’s geolocation history in the Field Service Mobile App only for some of the resources, while for others, they want this option to be disabled.
How can a consultant implement this requirement?

Under the ‘Field Service Mobile Settings’, set the ‘Collect Service Resource Geolocation History’ to
‘True’

Under the ‘Field Service Settings’, go to the ‘Mobile App Configuration’ tab and select which users should be included in the geolocation collection process

Under the ‘Field Service Settings’, go to the ‘Mobile App Configuration’ tab and select which profiles should be included in the geolocation collection process

Create two ‘Field Service Mobile Settings’ records and assign it to the relevant profiles, one with the
‘Collect Service Resource Geolocation History’ set to ‘True’ and the other set to ‘False’

Q50. Which three topics should a consultant raise during the project scoping discussion of a field service implementation?

Work Parameters: how work is being defined

Sprint Review: to review what will be done during the sprint cycle

Terminology: translate objectives and priorities into Field Service

Project Objectives: what is essential

Solution Design: request for acceptance

Q51. What should a consultant recommend to help a customer with their initiative to reduce their carbon footprint?

Remove the ‘ASAP’ Service Objective.

Give ‘Minimize Travel’ Service Objective the highest weight.

Add the ‘Maximum Travel from Home’ Work Rule.

Remove the ‘Match Location’ Work Rule.

Q52. What two actions should a consultant recommend to ensure that junior employees are prioritized when installations are scheduled?

Assign a ‘Preferred Resource’ to a junior service resource when a customer has an installation job

Leverage a ‘Match Boolean’ Work Rule to match on a custom field ‘Is Junior’

Increase the resource’s priority on the junior Service Resource records, and increase the ‘Resource Priority’ Service Objective weighting

Increase the installation ‘Skill Level’ for the senior resources, and increase the ‘Skill Level Service Objective’ weighting

Update the ‘Skill Level’ Service Objective to ‘Least Qualified’

Q53. Green Energy Solutions provide two types of services: ‘New Installs’ (high revenue, high priority with a 3 day SLA) and ‘Inspections’ (proactive, low priority activities due 3 months out). The company incurs a penalty for missing due dates which the service manager would like to avoid. However, not at the expense of a new install.
What should the consultant’s recommendation be in such a case?

Add the ‘ASAP’ Service Objective to the Scheduling Policy, with a ‘Relevance Group’ that only considers new installs. Set the weight of that Service Objective to be higher than the ‘Priority’ Service Objective

Set up an automation that sets the priority value to ‘1’ for all inspections that are due tomorrow, and set the priority of the New install jobs to ‘1’ as well

Use a ‘Dynamic Priority’ formula field that increases the value of the priority each day, up to a value of
‘2’ (using the 1-100 scale) and set the priority of the new install jobs to ‘1’

For inspections with a due date taking place in the next 7 days, set the ‘Schedule Over Lower Priority’ Boolean to ‘True’

Q54. A Customer is outsourcing some of the maintenance work to third-party contractors (named contractors, not capacity based). Unlike internal employees who have consistent working hours (Mon-Fri, 8 am-5 pm), contractors’ working hours vary from day to day.
The internal employees’ availability is set with Operating Hours, while the contractors’ availability is set with Shifts on top of these Operating Hours. As a result, on days where the contractor’s workday ends at 4 pm, for some reason the contractors still show up as valid candidates for a visit scheduled to end at 5 pm.
What should a consultant change to prevent such behavior?

Create an ‘Operating Hours’ record with no time slots and assign it to the contractors through the STM (Service Territory Member) record. That will override the Territory’s regular ‘Operating Hours’ and the contractor’s availability will be derived only from Shifts

Instead of using Shifts, create multiple ‘Operating Hours’ records and assign each record to the contractor STM (Service Territory Member) and change on a daily basis

Change the current ‘Operating Hours’ assigned to everyone to end at 4 pm (instead of 5 pm) and set the
4 pm till 5 pm availability using Shifts

Set the contractors as a ‘Capacity Based’ resources and limit their working hours per day

Q55. Which two statements describe ‘Global Optimization’ accurately?

Global Optimization runs faster than the Auto Scheduling process

The Global Optimization process can assess millions of time slots and mobile worker options to produce schedules

Optimization can move appointments that were previously scheduled, meaning that the optimizer can slide scheduled service appointments right or left of their current time slot

It’s recommended to run Global Optimization during the day of service to fix unexpected in-day changes

Global Optimization is the only process that supports Service Objectives and Work Rules that are defined in the Scheduling Policy
