Manage Client Appointments

To make updates to Service Appointments in bulk for the specified client, click on the Manage Appointments Quick Action in the top right of the Contact page layout.

...

Manage Appointments will take you to the Service Appointment Management layout with preset filters applied to a list of Service Appointments based on the Contact you are viewing.

...

You can click the Add Filters option in the top right of the interface to access a range of filtering options. In this example you can see we’re viewing:

  • Service Appointments with a Date Range of 1 May 2023 to 31 May 2023.

  • Beyonnce Knowles is the specified Contact/Client.

  • Service Appointments without Assigned Resources = TRUE.

Info

With Service Appointments without Assigned Resources = TRUE we have the option of Get Candidates at the top of the interface.

...

Get Candidates gives us the option to filter suitable Service Resources who we can assign to the Service Appointment. From this interface we can:

  • Add new Preferred resources to the client.

  • Match Skills and Attributes to the Service Appointment.

  • Filter Service Resources based on their distance to the Service Appointment Location.

  • Monitor Service Resource workloads to ensure they are being assigned Service Appointments within their limitations.

Tip

We focus on Resource Preferences in Field Service scheduling policies, so assigning them here will feed into a more optimised and automated scheduling process next time you’re scheduling for this client.

...

Client Goals

Goal records can be added to a client to define the desired outcomes of a client and how services should be delivered to achieve these outcomes.

...

Managing Client Preferences

The Manage Preferences Quick Action in the top right of the Contact page layout allows us to assign preferences to a client which will help to facilitate more targeted scheduling processes.

...

Clicking the Quick Action will open a window which allows us to specify Preferences for the client. We have 3 different preference options available:

  • Resource Preference - specifies a Service Resource based on Work Type delivered.

  • Resource Attribute Preference - specifies an attribute preference from a Service Resource record.

  • Resource Skill Preference - specifies a Skill that a Service Resource must have to deliver the service.

...

In this example we’re specifying a Resource Attribute Preference of Gardening, which will try to match Beyonnce with Service Resources interested in Gardening when delivering Social Support services.

...

In this example we’re specifying a Skill Preference of First Aid Certificate, which will try to match Beyonnce with Service Resources who have a First Aid Certificate when delivering Domestic Assistance services.

...

In this example we’re specifying a Preferred Resource when delivering Sleepover services.
