QUESTION: 9

Universal Containers offer repair services for customers' capital equipment. Sometimes, a customer may ask a repair technician to take a look at another piece of equipment while they're on-site.

How can Universal Containers give the field worker the flexibility to extend the time on site and track that they performed service on another piece of equipment?

Create a custom text field on the Work Order that will capture 'Additional work onsite' and have the Salesforce administrator update the Asset with a custom field called 'Date of the last service'
Add two custom fields: a custom checkbox field on the Service Appointment, that if selected will trigger the creation of another Service Appointment related to the same asset with an 'Immediately follow' dependency to the current Service Appointment, and a number field to capture the duration of the new service
Have the technician add the additional piece of equipment serviced to the 'Related Assets' list on the Work Order, and capture the 'Actual End date' upon completion
Build a Field Service Mobile flow and set it as a Mobile App Extension flow that will create a Work Order Line Item populating the Asset and extend the 'Duration' and 'Scheduled End' time of the Service Appointment. Leverage 'Scheduling Recipes' so optimization can reshuffle the remainder of the day, if the extended time requested is greater than 10 minutes

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

This requires a balance of data accuracy (tracking the asset) and schedule accuracy (updating the duration).

Option D is correct because it uses Field Service Mobile Flows, which is the best practice for guiding technicians through complex processes.

Data: Creating a Work Order Line Item (WOLI) is the correct data model to track work done on a specific (secondary) Asset under the main Work Order.

Schedule: The flow can update the current Service Appointment's Duration and Scheduled End to reflect the reality that the tech will be there longer.

Automation: Triggering a "Scheduling Recipe" (now typically handled via Flows/Optimization services) ensures that if the appointment runs long, subsequent appointments for the day are automatically shifted (Reshuffled) to prevent overlapping/late arrivals.

Options A and C fail to update the schedule duration, meaning the tech will likely be late to their next job without the dispatcher knowing. Option B creates a second appointment, which is administratively heavy for "just looking at" another asset during the same visit.

QUESTION: 10

Universal Containers uses In-Day Optimization to optimize a Service Territory schedule during working hours. The dispatchers have recently noticed that In-Day Optimization reschedules Service Appointments in status 'In Progress' to other Service Resources, which requires them to correct the schedule manually.

What should a consultant recommend to troubleshoot this behavior?

Check if the Scheduling Policy includes the 'Resource Availability' Work Rule.
Review if the 'In Progress' status is configured in 'Status Transitions' under 'Field Service Settings'.
Review if the 'In Progress' status is excluded from In-Day Optimization under 'Field Service Settings'.
Check if the 'Optimization Request' status is 'In Progress'

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

When running optimization (Global or In-Day), the engine is allowed to move any appointment that is not "Pinned."

Option C is correct. In Salesforce Field Service, you must explicitly define which statuses are considered Pinned (immovable) during optimization. This is configured in Field Service Settings > Optimization > Logic. If the 'In Progress' status is not selected in the "Pinned Statuses" list, the optimization engine sees that appointment as movable. To improve the schedule, it might unassign the current tech and assign a different one, even though the tech is already on-site.

Ensuring 'In Progress' is "excluded from optimization logic" (Pinned) forces the engine to schedule around that appointment rather than moving it.

Option B refers to "Status Transitions," which controls the lifecycle flow (e.g., New -> Scheduled -> In Progress) but does not control the scheduling engine's permission to move the job.

QUESTION: 11

Out of the below options, which three questions should a consultant typically ask during the first day of an initial implementation?

What needs to be synced with Salesforce? What integration is needed with external apps?
Which Dynamic Gantt features should be incorporated into the use cases?
What Service Objectives and what should their corresponding weights be within the different Scheduling Policies?
What are the different types of services provided to customers? What are the skills required and the estimated duration?
How are the different business units set up? Geographical/ functional/ both?

Answer(s): A,D,E

Explanation:

During the "Day 1" or Scoping phase of an implementation, the goal is to define the high-level architecture and business model.

A is correct: Defining Integration points (ERP, HR, Inventory) is a foundational requirement that dictates the project scope and data strategy.

D is correct: Defining the Work (Work Types, Skills, Durations) is the core of the Field Service data model. You cannot configure the system without knowing what services are being performed.

E is correct: Defining the Territory Structure (Business Units) sets up the security model, sharing settings, and resource organization.

Options B and C are incorrect for the first day because they are detailed configuration specifics (Refinement). You cannot define "Service Objective Weights" or "Gantt Features" until you understand the basic business goals, services, and territories.

QUESTION: 12

Universal Containers installers are required to complete a standardized quality checklist that includes data inputs as well as capturing some pictures of the completed installation.

How should a Field Service consultant set up the mobile experience for those installers?

Leverage 'Work Plans' and a flow to launch from a 'Work Step'
Create fields on the Service Appointment and create a Service Appointment 'Record Update' action for the quality check items and leverage 'Chatter' to post images
Give complete edit access to the mobile app so the installers have the flexibility to update what they need
Use 'Deep Linking' in order to achieve this requirement

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

This scenario describes a structured process with validation (Checklist + Data + Images).

Option A is correct. Work Plans are the standard, modern feature for checklists in Salesforce Field Service. A Work Plan consists of "Work Steps." These steps can be linked to a Flow, which provides a user-friendly wizard to capture specific data inputs and upload images in a structured way.

Option B is the legacy method. Adding fields directly to the Service Appointment creates clutter and doesn't offer a step-by-step "Checklist" experience.

Option C is a security risk (too much access) and provides no process guidance.

Option D (Deep Linking) is used to jump out of the app to another app, which is not needed here since SFS can handle flows natively.

QUESTION: 13

What are the two related lists a consultant will need to pay attention to when viewing Assets that may have been replaced and/or upgraded by new Assets out in the field?

Related Assets related list as it shows Assets that replaced the current Asset
Related Assets related list as it shows Assets that the current Asset replaced
Primary Assets related list as it shows Assets that the current Asset replaced
Primary Assets related list as it shows Assets that replaced the current Asset

Answer(s): A,B

Explanation:

Asset replacement and history in Salesforce are tracked using the Asset Relationship object.

Options A and B are correct. The Asset Relationship object links two assets together (e.g., Old Asset -

> New Asset) with a relationship type like "Replacement" or "Upgrade." On the Asset page layout, this related list (often labeled "Asset Relationships" or "Related Assets") allows you to see the history in both directions:

Forward: See the new asset that replaced this asset (Option A).

Backward: See the old asset that this asset replaced (Option B).

Options C and D are incorrect. "Primary Assets" is typically a concept associated with Service Contracts (covering the main asset) or Entitlements, not the history of physical swaps/upgrades between asset records.

(
Note: The provided PDF source likely contains an error marking D as correct. "Primary Assets" is not the standard location for replacement history.)

QUESTION: 14

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 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 'Same Start'
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

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The requirement is to schedule two distinct resources (a Human and a Vehicle) for the same job at the same time.

Option C is correct.

Vehicle as Service Resource: You must model the vehicle as a Service Resource (Type: Asset) to track its availability on the Gantt and prevent double-booking.

Complex Work (Same Start): To ensure the vehicle and the technician are booked together, you use

Complex Work dependencies. "Same Start" ensures that the vehicle appointment and the technician appointment are scheduled to begin simultaneously.

Options A and D are incorrect because Products are not scheduled. Consuming a product does not check if the vehicle is available at that specific time, potentially leading to double-booking the van.

Option B is incorrect because "Immediately Follow" implies a sequence (Technician finishes -> Vehicle starts), which is not how a shared ride/equipment scenario works.

QUESTION: 15

After running a Global Optimization on an empty Gantt, the dispatcher at Green Energy Solutions noticed that one of the Service Appointments wasn't scheduled, although there seems to be enough white space on the Gantt for it to fit in.

What should the dispatcher do to identify the root cause?

Manually drag the Service Appointment to a place on the white space and observe what rule violations are displayed.
Click on the 'Appointment Booking' action on the appointment from the appointments list to identify which candidates are displayed.
Remove the Service Objective with the highest weight from the Scheduling Policy.
Check the 'In-Day Optimization' checkbox on the Scheduling Policy used in the previous run, and re-run the optimization request.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

This is the standard troubleshooting procedure for "Why wasn't this scheduled?".

Option A is correct. If there is white space, but the optimizer didn't use it, there is likely a Rule Violation (Hard Constraint) preventing it (e.g., The resource is missing a Skill, the Territory doesn't match, or the Travel Time is too long). Manually dragging the appointment to that specific spot on the Gantt triggers the rule validation logic, and the console will pop up a "Rule Violation" message telling you exactly which rule failed (e.g., "Match Skills Rule Violation").

Option B helps find valid slots, but it doesn't explain why the current white space is invalid.

Option C addresses scoring (Objectives), not hard constraints (Rules). If there was space, the objectives would just give it a low score, not prevent scheduling entirely (unless the score was 0, but Rule Violations are the more common culprit for unscheduled work).

QUESTION: 16

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'

Answer(s): C,E

Explanation:

To prioritize junior resources without creating rigid "hard constraints" (which might prevent scheduling altogether if no junior is available), you should use Service Objectives (Soft Constraints).

Option C is correct (Resource Priority): By assigning a higher priority value to Junior Service Resource records and adding the "Resource Priority" objective to the scheduling policy, the optimization engine calculates a higher score for these resources. This acts as a general "preference" to use them whenever possible.

Option E is correct (Least Qualified): The "Skill Level" Service Objective has a setting called "Prefer Least Qualified." When enabled, the engine prefers the resource who has the lowest skill level that still meets the job requirement. For example, if a job requires Skill Level 50, and you have a Senior (Level 90) and a Junior (Level 55), the engine will pick the Junior. This is a best practice to prevent "over-qualified" resources (Seniors) from being booked on routine jobs, keeping them free for complex tasks.
