Work Rule Type: Excluded Resources

The Excluded Resources work rule type prevents service resources, listed as an Excluded service resource preference on a work order or work order line item, from being assigned to the corresponding appointment when the scheduling policy in use includes this work rule. If you're using Enhanced Scheduling and Optimization, the Excluded Resources work rule is a Field Service database work rule type. If you're not using Enhanced Scheduling and Optimization, this is an Apex work rule type.

Sometimes, customers have a poor experience with a service resource and request not to work with them in the future. Use this work rule type to enforce customer resource preferences, such as those resulting from a complaint. Other work rules can exclude service resources based on skills, availability, and proximity.

Create work rules from the Work Rules tab. To view or add work rule fields open the Object Manager in Setup and select the Work Rule custom object. Add work rules to a scheduling policy from the Customize Scheduling Policies page in Guided Setup or from the Scheduling Policy Work Rules related list on a scheduling policy.
