description: Goals are soft constraints that influence ranking. They don't eliminate candidates. The Emergency policy uses one goal, ASAP, which prefers the earliest available time slot. Among resources with equal availability, the ASAP goal uses a Least Qualified strategy with the priority field to deprioritize the most qualified resources, which preserves them for higher-complexity jobs.

# Goals in the Emergency Scheduling Policy

Goals are soft constraints that influence ranking. They don't eliminate candidates. The Emergency policy uses one goal, ASAP, which prefers the earliest available time slot. Among resources with equal availability, the ASAP goal uses a Least Qualified strategy with the priority field to deprioritize the most qualified resources, which preserves them for higher-complexity jobs.
