Northern Trail Outfitters is implementing drip feed dispatching. When testing the new
functionality, the drip does not dispatch appointments as expected. A consultant is
engaged to troubleshoot the issue.
What is preventing the drip feed from triggering?
A. The appointment status is going from Scheduled to Completed.
B. The status on completed appointments can only be Canceled, Completed, or Cannot
Complete.
C. The default drip feed setting is overriding the drip feed rate on a service territory.
D. Other scheduled jobs are dispatching appointments and exceeding the drip feed value.
D. Other scheduled jobs are dispatching appointments and exceeding the drip feed value.
Explanation:
Drip feed dispatching is a feature that allows dispatching service appointments gradually
throughout the day based on a drip feed rate defined for each service territory or resource.
If other scheduled jobs are dispatching appointments and exceeding the drip feed value,
then the drip feed dispatching will not trigger as expected. The appointment status going
from Scheduled to Completed or being Canceled, Completed, or Cannot Complete does
not affect drip feed dispatching, as these are valid status transitions for dispatched
appointments. The default drip feed setting does not override the drip feed rate on a
service territory, but provides a fallback value if no rate is specified on the territory or
resource level.
