Excluded Resources is a Workforce Scheduling work rule type that 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.

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 Setup. Find and go to Workforce Scheduling, and under Appointment Scheduling Logic, select Work Rules. To view or add work rule fields open the Object Manager in Setup and select the Work Rule custom object. To add work rules to a scheduling policy, see Create and Manage Scheduling Policies in Workforce Scheduling.
