Field Resource Activities
When you are about to mark an activity as End, Not Done, or Cancel, you can adjust the travel time for the next activity.
You will find different options based on how Allow selection of next activity selection on Complete is configured.
1.
Start an activity by selecting Start.
2.
Change the status of the activity to one of the three options (End/Not Done/Cancel). Either one or both options
appear on the page:
◦
Ability to select the Next Activity from a drop-down list. This displays a drop-down list where you can
select the next activity to be visited.
◦
The Travel Time Remaining selection field.
3.
Select the required time from the Travel Time drop-down list.
4.
Click Submit. The travel time for the next activity is updated.
Note: If there is no idle time before the next activity, or if the idle time is less than the amount of time travel
that is being adjusted with, the start time of the next activity may be shifted to a further time. If the route is
activated late or the previous activity finishes late, you must adjust the travel correspondingly to shift the
planned start time of the next activity.
Overview of Booking an Activity
When you perform an activity at the customer's premises, the customer may enquire about the possibility to perform
another job for them on a different day. You must be able to collect the information about the new job, create an activity,
and schedule it right away. To book an activity, you must also have the ability to check the available capacity for that
specific date and time. This situation is handled by the Book new activity option. The Book new activity option is
configured in the Application screens section of the Screen Configuration page.
Note: The activity booking functionality, Quota management page, and the Capacity Area configuration functionality
are available only with the "Oracle Field Service Enterprise Cloud Service" subscription.
You can book activities in three ways:
•
Direct assignment booking
•
Quota-based booking:
◦
Time slot based
◦
Booking interval based (or availability based)
Direct Assignment Booking
Activity booking uses the activity information and finds all the Capacity Areas that match the activity requirements.
If a Capacity Area is configured for booking using direct assignment, the activity is created (or reassigned) in your
route, provided you meet the activity requirements and has enough time to complete it. When there are many available
resources that can work on the activity for a particular date and time slot, Oracle Field Service assigns the activity to
one of them. The application typically finds a technician that has a smaller set of working skills than a technician with a
wider skillset. This way, resource selection is optimized, so that the following activities that require booking have more
available options. With this feature, you can control the booking strategy that is used on a Capacity Area level. You can
also configure different capacity areas to use different booking strategies.
