Work rules of this type are particularly useful if your service territories are functional rather than geographical.

Work rules of this type contain the following settings.

 
| Field | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Maximum Travel From Home Type | Indicates whether the work rule enforces a maximum travel time or maximum distance. |
| Maximum Travel From Home | The maximum, which is measured in minutes for travel time and miles or kilometers for distance. The miles or kilometers preference is set in the Field Service Admin app. |

If a service resource’s home base (address) isn’t specified, the resource isn’t a candidate for any service appointment. If a service appointment lacks geocoordinates (calculated from an address), it can be assigned to any service resource with a home base.

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](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=service.wfs_policies_manage.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Scheduling policies combine work rules and service objectives to control which resources and time slots Workforce Scheduling assigns to each appointment. Work rules decide who’s eligible, and service objectives decide who’s the best fit. During scheduling and optimization, the engine applies these criteria against factors like resource skills, travel time, and urgency to make sure the right person is assigned to the right job efficiently.").
