An electrical engineering company is implementing Dynamics 365 Customer Service.
Engineers schedule work in one-hour blocks.
Engineers who complete a job before the end of the one-hour block must not be able to start a new job in that same block.
Engineers who require part of an additional one-hour block to complete a job must not be able to start a new job in that additional block.
You need to configure the fulfillment preference to meet the requirements.
Proposed solution: Create a time group with the preference setting of one hour.
Does the solution meet the goal?
Answer(s): A
Explanation:
Time groups enable schedulers to search and view results as blocks of time when using the schedule assistant. Typical examples include mornings, afternoon, nights, and 2-hour windows. Unlike intervals, time groups do not dictate the start time of subsequent bookings. Time groups organize results, but leave the start time/arrival time as-is, based on the particular resource's schedule.
Instead: Proposed solution: Create a fulfillment record and set the interval to one hour.
Note: Fulfillment preferences are customizable entities that let you choose how schedule assistant results are displayed, like with neat hourly appointments or morning and afternoon time windows.
By default, the schedule assistant displays results based entirely on resource schedules and the earliest available time, such as 10:39 AM. With fulfillment preferences set to hourly, the same resource's availability shows as 11:00 AM. This makes it simpler for the scheduler to view and understand availability and communicate it to the customer.
Intervals
Intervals display schedule assistant results in neat time slots that dictate start time of subsequent bookings. When configured as 30-minute intervals, the schedule assistant will display a resource available at 9:27 AM as available at 9:30 AM and will book the start time (arrival time) for 9:30 AM. This includes travel time for onsite requirements and work orders, meaning travel time will begin before 9:30 AM, and a field resource will arrive and start work at 9:30 AM.
