Why the Correct Answers Are Right
The Dispatcher Console in Salesforce Field Service provides multiple views and filtering capabilities specifically designed to help managers and dispatchers monitor, prioritize, and manage different types of work, including Preventative Maintenance (PM) Work Orders.

Option A – Preventative Maintenance Gantt:
Salesforce Field Service includes a dedicated Preventative Maintenance Gantt view within the Dispatcher Console (accessible via the Gantt tab or specific PM filters). This view is purpose-built for monitoring recurring, scheduled PM work. Managers can apply filters directly in the Gantt (e.g., by Work Type = "Preventative Maintenance", Status, Priority, Due Date, Service Territory, or custom fields) to display only PM-related Work Orders and their associated Service Appointments. This visual timeline format makes it easy to spot upcoming PM due dates, resource allocation gaps, or overdue items — exactly what managers need for proactive monitoring of preventative maintenance programs.

Option C – Dispatcher Console Appointment List:
The Appointment List tab in the Dispatcher Console is a powerful, tabular view that shows all Service Appointments with extensive filtering options. Managers can filter by:
- Work Order Type (or custom PM indicator field)
- Work Type = Preventative Maintenance
- Status (e.g., Scheduled, Dispatched, In Progress)
- Due Date or Earliest Start
- Service Territory
This allows quick identification and monitoring of PM-related appointments linked to their parent Work Orders, with sorting, grouping, and bulk actions available. It is one of the most commonly used views for focused monitoring of specific categories like PM.

Why the Other Options Are Incorrect

B. The Dispatcher Console Map and filter the list to show only desired service appointments:
The Map view in the Dispatcher Console is primarily geographic — it shows pins for appointments, resources, and territories based on location. While you can apply some filters, it is not optimized for monitoring Preventative Maintenance work orders specifically. The map focuses on spatial visualization (travel routes, clustering) rather than PM-specific attributes like recurrence, due dates, or maintenance type.

D. The Dispatcher Work Order Polygon and filter the list to show only desired service appointments:
There is no standard feature called "Dispatcher Work Order Polygon" in Salesforce Field Service. Polygons exist in the Map view for territory boundaries or custom area selection, but they do not represent a dedicated view or filtering mechanism for Work Orders, let alone Preventative Maintenance monitoring. This option is invalid.

Explanation:

The Match Territory Work Rule is a standard configuration in Salesforce Field Service that ensures Service Appointments are only assigned to Service Resources belonging to the same Service Territory. When this rule is included in the Scheduling Policy, the optimization and dispatching engine will automatically filter out resources outside of the territory.

This is the most efficient and scalable way to enforce territory-based dispatching. It avoids manual intervention and ensures consistency across all appointments. By leveraging this rule, dispatchers can be confident that technicians are dispatched only within their assigned territories, which is critical for organizations that operate across multiple regions.

Why the Other Options Are Incorrect

B. Resource Availability Work Rule:
This rule ensures that resources are scheduled only when they are available (considering operating hours, breaks, and absences). It does not enforce territory restrictions.

C. Mark the Service Territory’s Resources as Required on the Service Appointments:
This would require manual configuration for each appointment, which is not scalable. It also does not dynamically enforce territory rules during optimization.

D. Ensure the Resource’s Address is in the same Territory:
Addresses are used for travel calculations, not territory assignment. Territory membership is managed through Service Territory Members, not addresses.

Exam Tip:
When the exam mentions restricting dispatch to the same Service Territory, the answer is always Match Territory Work Rule in the Scheduling Policy. Resource Availability is about time, not territory; Required Resources are too rigid; and addresses are irrelevant to territory logic.

Why the Answer is Right
The requirement is to ensure technicians using the Field Service mobile application can access relevant Knowledge articles while completing assigned work. The most reliable, context-driven configuration is to attach Knowledge articles directly to the work execution records: Work Orders and/or Work Order Line Items. Salesforce explicitly supports attaching Knowledge articles to work orders, work order line items, and work types to share specifications, instructions, and guidelines with the field team. When articles are attached to the work record, technicians don’t have to “guess” what to search for or navigate a broad knowledge base; they receive the right content in the context of the job they’re already performing.

This approach also reduces operational risk. Field work often happens in low-connectivity areas. When Knowledge is attached to the job record, it is far more likely to be available in the mobile experience that is optimized for field execution. Attaching at the Work Order Line Item level can be even more precise: if a work order has multiple tasks (inspection + replacement + calibration), each line item can carry the exact guidance needed for that task. This is a best practice for relevance because not every article should be shown on every job—only those that match the job’s component steps.

Additionally, attaching articles at the work order level is consistent with how agents and dispatchers collaborate: agents can attach the articles at creation time based on customer symptoms, product model, or service history, and dispatchers/techs see those articles without extra configuration.

Why the Other Options Are Incorrect

A. Quick action to search the Knowledge base:
Search actions rely on technicians finding the right content themselves and can be slower, inconsistent, and connectivity-dependent. It doesn’t ensure relevance; it merely provides access.

C. Update Service Appointment layout to include Articles related list:
Articles are associated primarily with work records (work order/WOLI/work type). Adding an Articles related list on Service Appointment doesn’t guarantee technicians see job-relevant Knowledge, and it doesn’t address the core “attach relevant articles to the work” pattern described in Salesforce guidance.

D. Add the Knowledge Lightning component to the Field Service mobile app:
A Lightning component may help browsing, but it still doesn’t guarantee relevance or ensure that the right articles are linked to the job context. Salesforce’s recommended method is attachment to work records, not “just show Knowledge UI.”

Explanation:

Skill management is a two-part process: definition and assignment.

Guided Setup (B):
The Field Service Managed Package includes a Guided Setup tool. This is the "Consultant's best friend." It provides a streamlined interface to create skills, assign them to resources, and set skill levels all in one view.

Standard Setup (D):
Skills can also be managed through the standard Salesforce Setup menu. You define the Skill object records in Setup and then manually create Service Resource Skill records to link those skills to individual technicians. Both methods are standard and widely used.

Why the Others Are Incorrect

A:
There is no standard "FSL Lightning Web Component" dedicated solely to creating and assigning skills from scratch in the way Guided Setup does.

C:
While the Managed Package is used, the term "Managed Package Wizard" usually refers to the Guided Setup itself; however, Option B is the more accurate name for that feature.

Explanation:

Why These Are Correct
B. Work Type association:
Work Types define job templates. Associating a “Site Visit” Work Type ensures each inspection has consistent requirements.

D. Generation Horizon:
Defines how many days before the due date the Work Order is generated. Setting this to 14 days ensures inspections are created in advance.

Why the Other Options Are Incorrect
A. Required Skill:
Ensures qualified inspectors but does not generate Work Orders.
C. Generation Timeframe:
Defines how long Work Orders are generated into the future, not how far in advance.
