Schedule Smarter Service Appointments with Extended Match Work Rules

Now extended match work rules can be set up to find the perfect service resource for every job. For example, perhaps your mobile workers support specific ZIP codes. We an set extended match work rule to assign them appointments within their area.

How to do this:

For example, create a ZIP Code lookup field on the Service Appointment object. Then create a ZIP Code Coverage linking object, add the ZIP Code field, and attach it to the Service Resource object as a related list. Use the Extended Match Rule Lightning component to create a work rule.

Map Your Reports with Icons and Colors

Reports can be customized to add Gantt map by customizing their icons and colors. We can map any tabular report that has geolocation fields.

How to do this:

From the Dispatcher Console UI section of Field Service Settings, click Map. Select a report, a color, and an icon.

Then add it as a layer in the Gantt map.

View your customized report icons on the Gantt map.

Build Trust with Your Customers with Service Contracts and Contract Line Items in Communities

Establish transparency by giving your users and partners access to service contracts and contract line items directly within a community.

How to do this:

Add service contract and contract line items to a community page. Then assign users and community members to the license that gives them the access they need.

Leverage Quick Actions for Service Contracts and Contract Line Items

Simplify your agents’ workflows by adding shortcuts for common actions on service contracts and contract line items. For instance, add quick actions to let your users create new service contracts and contract line items or to perform common tasks.

How to do this:

We can create object-specific or global quick actions to help save agents time while they work with service contracts and contract line items. For example:

Add a quick action to service contracts, such as creating a contract line item directly from the service contract record.
Add a quick action to contract line items, such as updating contract line item details.
Create a global quick action in your Salesforce app to quickly create service contracts or contract line items
