Hi,
I have a Service Appointment in Greenville, SC. I have two techs one in Atlanta, GA and the other one is in Schenectady, NY. When I use "Candidates" option, using my custom Scheduling policy where Minimize Travel carry the high weightage compared to ASAP, first it showed the tech from Atlanta , GA which is the closest to the appointment. I switched the addresses of the techs, but this time still it showed the tech who had Atlanta GA earlier but now he has Schenectady as his address. Shouldn't it look at the resource which is closest?
Thanks,
Michel
Gday,
Minimize travel doesn' work that way :)
Minimize travel looks at the team's collective travel time on a given day. It then prioritizes who ever has the least amount of travel on, NOT which is the shortest distance.
TECH A = 5 minutes to the job + already doing 60 minutes of other travel
TECH B = 50 minutes from job + no other travel
Minimize travel actually books on TECH B based off the policy.
