Properties installed with Field Service Management

The Field Service Management application provides the following system properties.

Table 1. Properties for Field Service Management
Property	Description
glide.ui.wm_order_activity.fields	Determines which fields are tracked in the activities list for work orders. The system automatically synchronizes the values in this property and the selections made by personalizing activities. Type: String Default value: opened_by, work_notes Location: System Properties [sys_properties] table
glide.ui.wm_task_activity.fields	Determines which fields are tracked in the activities list for work order tasks. The system automatically synchronizes the values in this property and the selections made by personalizing activities. Type: String Default value: work_notes, assigned_to Location: System Properties [sys_properties] table
work.management.agent.geo.history.update.duration	Set the duration (in minutes) of the latest system update that you want to consider for calculating the agent's geolocation history relative to current time. If the duration of the last geolocation history update is more than the duration set for this property, then the system uses the agent's task or home location instead of the geolocation history to determine the agent's current location. For example, if the value for this property is set to 240 minutes, and if the system update for an agent's last geolocation history is more than 240 minutes, the system does not consider the geolocation history and will instead use the agent's task or home location to determine the agent's current location. Type: Integer Default value: 240 Location: System Properties list
work.management.default.end.time	Default end time for all work agents when no schedule is set, formatted in a 24-hour clock. Type: String Default value: 17:00 Location: Field Service > Administration > Properties

This value sets the start time for a day other than the current day, when no scheduled task exists or is continued from the previous day. This property uses a 24-hour clock. Type: String Default value: 08:00 Location: Field Service > Administration > Properties
work.management.limit.location	Field Service Management should limit the dispatch groups available to choose by the location of the task. By default, the list of available dispatch groups is filtered by their proximity to the work order task location. When this property is set to false, the system displays all dispatch groups for selection, without any consideration of location. If only one dispatch group is available for a work order task in any location, that group is automatically entered in the Dispatch group field. Type: true/false Default value: true Location: Field Service > Administration > Properties > Dispatch Properties for Field Service
work.management.max.agents.processed	Sets the maximum number of agents processed by auto-dispatch at a time. The system has an absolute limit of 300 agents and sets the value at that level. If you specify more than 300, then the system cannot auto-dispatch a task for a dispatch group that contains more agents than the value configured. Type: Integer Default value: 100 Location: Field Service > Administration > Properties
work.management.work.spacing	Amount of time (in minutes) to add between the end of a task and the travel start of the next. An example of a valid time value is 10. Type: Integer Default value: 0 Location: Field Service > Administration > Properties
com.snc.wm.wo.task_window_days	Default days for a window of a task. Type: Integer Default value: 14 Location: Field Service > Administration > Properties
