Field-Service-Consultant Salesforce Certified Field Service Consultant (FS-Con-101) Questions and Answers

The technician would use a Return Order to create a return for the unused circuitboard. The Return Order would specify the quantity of the product being returned, the reason for the return, and the shipping address. The technician would then use a Product Receipt to record the receipt of the returned product. The Product Receipt wouldspecify the quantity of the product received, the condition of the product, and the location of the product.

The other two options are incorrect because they are not used to return products. A Work Order is used to track the work that needs to be done on aproduct or service. A Product Transfer is used to move products from one location to another.

This work rule should be used to assign service resourcesbased on related object records, such as accounts or assets, by matching field values between objects. References:https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fs_work_rules_match_field.htm &type=5

Customer Entitlements are records that specify customers’ support terms based on their contracts or warranties[38]. Customer Entitlements can be used to offer appropriate appointment booking windows for Gold versus Standard Customers by defining different appointment windows for different entitlement levels[39]. Service Due Date is a field on the work order object that indicates when a work order must be completed by[40]. Customer Working Hours are records that define when customers are available for service appointments[41]. Service Urgency is a field on the work order object that indicates how quickly a work order must be completed[42].

These two troubleshooting steps should betaken to resolve the issue, as they could explain why the service appointment status is not updated correctly on the console. References:https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fs_mobile_troubleshooting.htm &type=5

Customgantt filters are filters that allow dispatchers to view service appointments based on specific criteria such as status, priority, or custom fields[67]. Creating a custom gantt filter would allow providing a view of emergency work that is only visible to dispatchers by setting up criteria such as status equals emergency and sharing the filter with dispatchers only[68]. Custom lightning component is a component that allows developers to create custom user interfaces using Lightning Web Components or Aura Components[69]. Creating a custom lightning component would require coding and would not leverage the existing gantt chart functionality. Custom report in a private report folder is a report that allows users to view data based on specific criteria such as objects, fields, filters, or charts[70]. Creating a custom report in a private report folder would not provide a view of emergency work on the gantt chart and would not allow dispatchers to schedule or reschedule service appointments. Custom list view is a list view that allows users to view records based on specific criteria such as filters, fields, or sorting[71]. Creating a custom list view would not provide a view of emergency work on the gantt chart and would not allow dispatchers toschedule or reschedule service appointments. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fs_gantt_filters.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fs_gantt_filters_create.htm &type=5 https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/component-library/documentation/en/lwc https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.reports_builder_overview.htm &type=5https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.customize_listviews.htm &type=5

Service Reports aredocuments that summarize the details and outcomes of a service appointment such as work performed, products consumed, customer feedback, etc.[72]. Using the standard Service Report would allow Field Service Technicians to capture details and customer approval on completed work and send them to the customer electronically by generating and emailing service reports from the Field Service Mobile App or the web browser[73]. Creating a Process Builder to generate a report would not allow Field Service Technicians to capture details and customer approval on completed work. Process Builder is a tool that allows users to automate workflows based on specified criteria and actions[74]. Creating a custom report would not allow Field Service Technicians to capture details and customer approval on completed work. Custom reports are reports that allow users to view data based on specific criteria such as objects, fields, filters, or charts[75]. Using the standard Work Order email template would not allow Field Service Technicians to capture details and customer approval on completed work. Email templates are templates that allow users to send predefined emails with merge fields[76].

This option should be recommended to meetthis requirement, as it allows specifying which service resources are preferred by customers or accounts when scheduling service appointments. References:https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fs_resource_preferences.htm &type=5

The book appointment action is used to schedule a service appointment based on service objectives and resource availability. Theaction displays a list of potential time slots with service objective scores for each slot. The higher the score, the better the slot meets the service objectives.

This optionallows setting operating hours for accounts to specify when service can be performed for customers. References:https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fs_operating_hours.htm &type=5

A quick action is used tocreate a record from another record with predefined field values. By defining a quick action to create a new service appointment from an existing one, the technician can easily create an additional visit to complete unfinished work.

These two settings ensure that each inspection is completed within a single visit and includes all installed assets on site. References:https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fs_maintenance_plans_overview.htm &type=5

Enabling the sharing features in the Field Service settings in the Setup menu allows sharing dispatched service appointments with assigned resources regardless of the private record access model in sales, support, and field service organizations[50]. Creating a user territory for thetechnicians’ primary and secondary territories would not ensure that they have access to the service appointments dispatched to them. Creating a process to change the owner of the service appointment to the assigned technician would not work if multiple resources are assigned to the same service appointment. Configuring a sharing rule to share dispatched service appointments with the assigned resource would not work if multiple resources are assigned to different crews or teams. References:https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fs_sharing_overview.htm &type=5

This object can be used to share service appointments with service resources in Salesforce Field Service by assigning service resources to service territories and assigning service appointments to the same service territories. References:https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fs_service_territories.htm &type=5

Sort by Average Utilization is an option on the Resources Tab of the Gantt chart that allows sorting resources by their average utilization percentage[239]. Utilization is a metric that measures how much time a resource spends on service appointments compared to their total working hours[240]. Selecting Sort by Average Utilization on the ResourcesTab would allow Universal Containers to identify which resources need more or fewer appointments by showing them how busy each resource is based on their utilization percentage[241]. Selecting Date Resolution on the Hours Tab would not allow Universal Containers to identify which resources need more or fewer appointments. Date Resolution is an option on the Hours Tab of the Gantt chart that allows changing how many hours are shown per column such as 1 hour, 2 hours, or 4 hours[242]. Selecting Travel Time and Breaks as skills on the Skills Tab would not allow Universal Containers to identify which resources need more or fewer appointments. Skills are records that define specific abilities orqualifications that resources have[243]. Travel Time and Breaks arenot skills but fields on the Resource object that define how much time a resource spends traveling between service appointments and how much time they take for breaks[244]. Selecting Hours, Absences and Overtime on

Use all-or-none scheduling for related appointments is a setting in Field Service Settings that enables or disables the simultaneous scheduling of service appointments that have dependencies[232]. Dependency Type is a field on the Service Appointment object that defines the relationship between two service appointments such as Start After Finish, Start Before Finish, or Finish Before Start[233]. Same Resource and Same Day are fields on the Service Appointment object thatindicate whether two service appointments with dependencies should be assigned to the same resource and scheduled on the same day[234]. Selecting the checkbox Use all-or-none scheduling for related appointments in Field Service Settings, setting the Dependency Type to Start After Finish and Same Day on the first service appointment in the dependency, and making sure the Same Resource and Same Day fields appear on the Service Appointments page layout would allow Universal Containers to ensure that a customer makes one appointment for the sales department, and another appointment for the service department, that should be handled on the same day, but should be created as separate appointments, where the Technician must complete one appointment before startingthe next, and that these two appointments are scheduled together and in sequence by enabling simultaneous scheduling of dependent service appointments, defining the order and timing of the service appointments, and ensuring that the service appointments are assigned to the same resource and scheduled on the same day[235]. Creating a dependency between the two appointments and setting the start times to be the same would not work because it would not ensure that one appointment is completed before startingthe next. Adding the Complex Work Visualforcepage to the Service Appointments page would not work because it is not a feature of Salesforce Field Service.

Products required and skill requirements are two fields that should be included when creating a work order to increase first-time fix rates. Products required are used to specify the products that are needed for the work order, andskill requirements are used to specify the level of expertise that is needed for the work order. By including these fields, the system can ensure that the technician has the right parts and skills to complete the work order.

Reshuffle allows the dispatcher to automatically reschedule service appointments for a specific date range based on the current schedule and optimization rules1. In-day Optimization allows the dispatcher to optimize the schedule for a specific resource or territory based on real-time events such as cancellations or delays2. References: 1 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fs_reshuffle.htm &type=5 2 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fs_in_day_optimization.htm &type=5

Maintenance Plans are records that define the recurring service schedule for an asset or a product such as quarterly, monthly, or weekly[59]. Configuring a Maintenance Plan would allow creating quarterlyservice appointments for one of the products sold by Universal Containers automatically based on predefined criteria such as start date, end date, or generation method[60]. Defining a repeating Work Type would not create quarterly service appointments automatically. Work Types are templates that define the duration, skills, and products required for a work order or work order line item[61]. Implementing Path for Work Orders would not create quarterly service appointments automatically. Path is a feature that displays key fields and guidance for each stage of a work order process[62]. Building a Process for Service Appointments would not create quarterly service appointments automatically. Processes are automated workflows that execute actions based on specified criteria such as updating fields, sending emails, or creating tasks[63]. References:https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fs_maintenance_plans_overview.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fs_maintenance_plans_create_edit_delete.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fs_work_types.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView? id=sf.path_overview.htm&type=5https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.process_overview.htm &type=5

Reshuffle is an action within the Gantt that allows rescheduling multiple service appointments at once based on predefined criteria such as emergency priority, travel time, or skills[209]. Reshuffle would allow Universal Containers to dispatch emergency work identified throughout the day that needs to be completed before lower-priority work byrunning a reshuffle action that prioritizes emergency work and assigns it to the best available resources[210]. Defining a Global Optimization job to run hourly would not allow Universal Containers to dispatch emergency work identified throughout the day that needs to be completed before lower-priority work. Global Optimization is a feature that allows rescheduling multiple service appointments at once based on predefined criteria such as emergency priority, travel time, or skills[211]. Running a Global Optimization job hourly would not be responsive enough for emergency work identified throughout the day. Creating a custom Gantt action to call an Apex class to reschedule appointments would not be necessary for Universal Containers to dispatch emergency workidentified throughout the day that needs to be completed before lower-priority work. Custom Gantt actions are actions within the Gantt that can be customized using Apex code to perform specific tasks such as sending notifications or updating fields[212].Creating a custom Gantt action would require additional development and maintenance and would not leverage the existing Reshuffle action. Writing a batch Apex class to unschedule low priority work orders would not allow Universal Containers to dispatch emergency work identified throughout the day that needs to be completed before lower-priority work. Batch Apex is a way of processing large volumes of data asynchronously using Apex code[213]. Writing a batch Apex class would require additional development and maintenance and would not leverage the existing Reshuffle action.

 A quick action is used to create a record from another recordwith predefined field values. By defining a quick action to create a work order from a case, the agent can easily create a work order for on-site support after verifying the customer’s entitlement and product.

These are two actions that can help ensure that the technician who performed a customer’s initial installation is also assigned to subsequent service calls. A preferred resource is a resource that has a preference or affinity for working with a specific account or service territory. A preferred resource service objective is a service objective that prioritizes resources that are preferred for an account or service territory. By adding the technician as a preferred resource on the account record, and adding the preferred resource service objective to the scheduling policy, the system can assign the technician to future service appointments for that account.

Time sheet entries are records that track the time spent by a service resource on a work order or a work order line item[28]. Time sheet entries can be associatedto work order line items or work orders using lookup fields[29]. Assigned resources are records that assign a service resource to a service appointment[30]. Service resources are records that represent the people or equipment that perform field service tasks[31]. Time sheet entries cannot be associated to assigned resources or service resources directly. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fs_time_sheets_overview.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fs_time_sheet_entries_overview.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fs_assigned_resources_overview.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fs_service_resources_overview.htm &type=5

These two scenarios are fully supported by Maintenance Plans, which allow creating recurring work orders and service appointments based on various criteria. References:https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fs_maintenance_plans_overview.htm &type=5

A Product Request record can be added to a Work Order to request a product from inventory for a service appointment. A Work Type is a template that defines the duration, skills, and products required fora work order or work order line item. A Service Appointment is a record that represents a scheduled visit by a service resource to a customer location. A Service Report is a document that summarizes the details and outcomes of a service appointment. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fs_product_requests.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fs_work_types.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fs_service_appointments.htm &type=5https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fs_service_reports.htm &type=5

Multi-day service appointments are used when jobs can take longer than the available resources hours in a day or require consecutive days of work and can span over weekends. Jobs that need to be performed at the same site on the same day of the week or require multiple stages of workperformed by different resources can be handled by single-day service appointments with appropriate scheduling policies and optimization rules. References:https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fs_multiday_service_appointments_overview.htm &type=5

Service Territory Location is a junction object that links Service Territory and Location objects[236]. Related Lists are components on page layouts that show records that are related to a record through a lookup or master-detail relationship[237]. Adding the Service Territory Location Related List on the Service Territory page layout and adding the Service Territory Location Related List on the Location page layout would allow Universal Containers to show howLocations are associated to Territories by displaying a list of Service Territory Locations on each record[238]. Creating the Service Territory Location as a Service Territory lookup field or creating the Service Territory Location as a Location lookup field would not work because they are not valid fields on either object. References: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api.meta/api/sforce_api_objects_serviceterritorylocation.htm https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.customize_related_lists.htm &type=5https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fs_service_territory_locations_overview.htm &type=5

Service Resources are records that represent the people or equipment that perform field service tasks[53]. Permission Set Licenses are licenses that grant users access to specific features such as Field Service Dispatcher Console or Field Service Mobile App[54]. Creating one service resource and assigning the relevant permission set license would allow an employee at Universal Containers to perform both dispatcher and technician roles using one record and one license. Creating two skills records and assigning them to service resources record would not affect their roles or accessto features. Skills are records that define specific abilities or qualifications that service resources have[55]. Creating two service resources and assigning them to the employee would create duplicate records and require two licenses for one employee. Creating one service resource and assigning the technician and dispatcher role would not work because roles are not fields on the service resource object. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fs_service_resources_overview.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fs_permission_set_licenses_overview.htm &type=5https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fs_skills_overview.htm &type=5

Work Orders are records that track customer requests for service such as repairs or maintenance[47].Work Order Line Items are records that track specific tasks or products related to a work order[48]. Service Appointments are records that track the date, time, duration, and assigned resource for a work order or work order line item[49]. Adding each Assetto a separate Work Order Line Item or a separate Work Order would allow handling the service associated with each container independently by creating different records for different containers. Creating a Service Appointment for each Line Item or each Work Order would allow scheduling and dispatching the service associated with each container independently by assigning different resources and time slots for different containers. Adding each Asset to a separate child Work Order would create an unnecessary hierarchy of Work Orders that could complicate reporting and scheduling. Creating a Service Appointment for the parent Work Order would not allow handling the service associated with each container independently by assigning one resource and time slot for all containers. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fs_work_orders.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fs_work_order_line_items.htm &type=5https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fs_service_appointments.htm &type=5

This option allows automatically dispatching a certain number of Service Appointments to a technician after they complete their current one, based on a predefined criteria. References:https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fs_drip_feed_dispatch.htm &type=5

Frequency is a field on the Maintenance Plan objectthat defines how often work orders should be generated from maintenance plans such as daily, weekly, or monthly[228]. Generation Timeframe is a field on the Maintenance Plan object that defines how many work orders should be generated from maintenance plans at a time such as 1, 2, or 12[229]. Auto-generate work orders is a field on the Maintenance Plan object that enables or disables the automatic generation of work orders from maintenance plans[230]. Setting Frequency to 1 Month; Generation Timeframe of 12; uncheck Auto-generate work orders would allow Universal Containers to offer customers a MaintenancePlan that provides 12 monthly checkups where the customer will call to schedule each visit by creating maintenance plans that generate one work order permonth for 12 months but do not generate them automatically until the customer calls[231]. Setting Frequency to 1 Month; Generation Timeframe of 1; check Auto-generate work orders would not allow Universal Containers to offer customers a Maintenance Plan that provides 12 monthly checkups where the customer will call to schedule each visit. It would create maintenance plans that generate one work order per month for one month and generate them automatically without waiting for customer calls. Setting Frequency to 1 Month; Generation Timeframe of 12; check Auto-generate work orders would not allow Universal Containers to offer customers a Maintenance Plan that provides 12 monthly checkups where the customer will call to schedule each visit. It would create maintenance plans that generate one work order per month for 12 months and generate them automatically without waiting for customer calls. Setting Frequency to 1 Month; Generation Timeframe of 1; uncheck Auto-generate work orders would not allow Universal Container

Lightning Components are reusable units of user interface that can be customized and embedded in different pages or apps[180]. Work Order Line Items are records that track specific tasks or products related to a work order[181]. Creating a custom Lightning Component that displays Work Order progress and deploying it to Technicians through the Salesforce Field Service mobile app would allow Universal Containers’ Technicians to view work progress through the Work Order Line Item card in the Salesforce Field Service mobile app by creating a component that shows the status or completion percentage of work order line items and adding it to the work order line item card layout in the mobile app settings[182]. Creating a custom Visualforce page and adding an external link in the Salesforce Field Service mobile app to view the page in the mobile browser would not allow Technicians to view work progress through the Work Order Line Item cardin the Salesforce Field Service mobile app. Visualforce pages are web pages that can display custom user interface using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Apex[183]. Creating a Report Chart that summarizes Work Order Line Items and adding a link to the Service Appointment layout would not allow Technicians to view work progress through the Work Order Line Item card in the Salesforce Field Service mobile app. Report Charts are visual representations of report data that can be added to different pages or layouts[184]. Adding the Work Order Line Items related list to the Work Order page layout and assigning the layout to the Technician’s profile would not allow Technicians to view work progress through the Work Order Line Item card in the Salesforce Field Service mobile app. Related lists are lists of records that are directly related to another record and can be added to different page layouts[185].

This option allows tracking the time spent on each step of the work order line item and associating it with the time sheet entry record. References:https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fs_time_sheets_overview.htm &type=5

Skills are records that define specific abilities orqualifications that service resources have[158].Skill Levels are fields on the skill object that indicate the proficiency or experience of a service resource in a skill[159]. Assigning Contractor 1 and 2 different Skill Levels for repair Work Type would allow Universal Containers to configure the Contractors’ experience by setting up criteria such as skill name equals repair and skill level equals high for Contractor 1 and low for Contractor 2. Assigning Contractor 1 as a Preferred Resource would not configure the Contractors’ experience. Preferred Resources are optimization criteria that prioritize assigning service appointments to resources who have previously completed similar work orders or who are preferred by customers[160]. Assigning Contractor 1 and2 different capacities for repair work would not configure the Contractors’ experience. Capacities are fields on the service resource object that indicate the number of hours available for work per day or week[161]. Assigning Contractor 2 as an Excluded Resource would not configure the Contractors’ experience. Excluded Resources are optimization criteria that prevent assigning service appointments to resources who are explicitly excluded by customers or dispatchers[162].

Drip Feed Dispatching is a feature that allows dispatching groups of service appointments to technicians at regular intervals instead of all at once[56]. Enabling Drip Feed Dispatching in Field Service Settings allows turning on this feature for all service territories[57]. Setting the Number of Services to Drip Feed on the Service Territory allows specifying how many service appointments should be dispatched at a time for each service territory[58]. Setting the Service Appointment to Dispatch in Field Service Settings would not affect how many service appointments are dispatched at a time. Enabling Sharing of Dispatched Service Appointments would not affect how many service appointments are dispatched at a time. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fs_drip_feed_dispatching_overview.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fs_drip_feed_dispatching_enable.htm &type=5https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fs_drip_feed_dispatching_configure.htm &type=5

Arrival Window Start and Arrival Window End are fields on the Service Appointment that indicate when a technician is expected to arrive at a customer site based on travel time and service duration calculations. These fields can be shared with customersto set expectations around upcoming appointments. Scheduled End and Scheduled Start are fields on the Service Appointment that indicate when a technician is scheduled to start and end their service based on their availability and assigned time slots. These fields are not accurate indicators of when a technician will arrive at a customer site, as they do not account for travel time and service duration variations. References:https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fs_service_appointments.htm &type=5

This option allows booking appointments, creating work orders, and viewing work types and work rules, which are the tasks that call center agents are responsible for. References:https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fs_permission_sets.htm &type=5

Products consumed are records that track the products used during a service appointment[32]. A custom installation date field on products consumed would allow reporting on the volume of products installed within a specific timeframe by filtering on the installation date field values[33]. A work order related list on asset would show the work orders associated with an asset, but not the products installed. Field history tracking on asset would track field changes on an asset, but not the products installed. The standard installation date field on asset would show when an asset was installed, but not the products installed.

An entitlement process is a timeline that shows every step and milestone involvedin delivering support to a customer. To use milestones on work orders, a separate entitlement process associated to the work order object must be created and activated. Modifying the user’s profile, updating public group membership, or assigning a Field Service Mobile License to the user would not enable milestones on work orders. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.entitlements_process_overview.htm &type=5https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.entitlements_process_create.htm &type=5

These two objects are required when configuring an optimization job, as they define the scope and the criteria for the optimization process. References:https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fs_optimizer_overview.htm &type=5

Status Transitions are settings that define which status updates are allowed or restricted for service appointments[205]. Pinned Statuses are settings that prevent service appointments from being rescheduled or unscheduled by scheduling or optimization services[206]. Ensuring that Status Transitions are configured to prevent the update from “Cannot Complete” to “Scheduled” and defining “Cannot Complete” as a Pinned Status for Scheduling and Optimization Services wouldallow Universal Containers to ensure that Service Appointments in a “Cannot Complete” status are unable to be rescheduled or unscheduled for history tracking purposes by restricting the status change from “Cannot Complete” to “Scheduled” and preventing scheduling or optimization services from moving or removing service appointments with the “Cannot Complete” status[207]. Defining “Cannot Complete” as a Pinned Status for Auto-Dispatch Services would not affect whether Service Appointments in a “Cannot Complete” status are able to be rescheduled or unscheduled. Auto-Dispatch Services are settings that automatically assign service appointments to resources based on predefined criteria[208]. Ensuring that Status Transitions are configured to allow the status update from “Cannot Complete” to “Scheduled” would not ensure that Service Appointments in a “Cannot Complete” status are unable to be rescheduled or unscheduled. It would enable the status change from “Cannot Complete” to “Scheduled”.
