This activity is used to define a resource of a particular company as a scheduling resource. Defining the resource as a scheduling resource is necessary to be able to use the PSO scheduling tool. This can be done by adding a Scheduling Resource Type in the New Service Person Resource assistant. It is also possible to activate the scheduling resource.
Additional scheduling information can be added in the
Scheduling Resource page or in the Scheduling tab on
Service
Resource Details. For additional information on how to set up scheduling
resources, see Define Scheduling Resource. If
specific scheduling data is not defined for a resource, it will inherit the
data from the connected scheduling resource type. For example; the start and
end locations of the scheduling resource type's work shift and scheduling costs will be
assigned to the resource. For the start and end locations, the
geo-coordinates of the map positions will also be transferred to the
Scheduling Engine.
The resource is setup as a Scheduling Resource and can be used in by the PSO scheduling tool.
