Color Palettes are settings that allow dispatchers to customize the colors of service appointments on the Gantt based on different criteria such as status, priority, or rule violations[154]. Appointment List is a tool that allows dispatchers to view and filter service appointments in a list view based on different criteria such as status, priority, or rule violations[155]. Using these two features on the Dispatcher Console would allow visualizing Rule Violating Service Appointments by setting up color codes or filters based on rule violations. Gantt is a tool that allows dispatchers to view and manage service appointments on a timeline[156]. Gantt Map is a tool that allows dispatchers to view and manage service appointments on a map[157]. Using these two features on the Dispatcher Console would not allow visualizing Rule Violating Service Appointments by themselves unless combined with color palettes or appointment list.

Contractors are external users who can access Field Service features such as work orders, service appointments, assets, products consumed, etc... There are two types of contractor licenses available: Contractor (Full Access) and Contractor (Limited Access). Contractor (Full Access) licenses allow users to access all Field Service features except scheduling optimization. Contractor (Limited Access) licenses allow users to access only work orders assigned to them or their crew members via mobile app or web browser[22. Universal Containers should deploy 25 Contractor (Full Access) licenses to contractors who need to schedule resources and 75 Contractor (Limited Access) licenses to contractors who need access to work orders, assets, mobile app, and chatter.
