Practice Questions for FS-Con-101 Exam
The following practice questions are designed to reinforce key FS-Con-101 exam concepts and reflect common scenario-based decision points tested in the certification.
Question#1
AW Computing technicians use the field service mobile application exclusively since they are always in the field. Due to frequent schedule changes, the technician should only see one job at a time on the app.
How should the field service administrator ensure this requirement is met?
A. Instruct the dispatcher to only dispatch one work order to each technician at a time.
B. Set Send Appointment Notifications on Dispatch in the mobile settings to one.
C. Enable drip feed to dispatch one service appointment per technician at a time.
D. Set up auto dispatch to dispatch one work order for each technician at a time

Question#4
A customer makes one appointment for the sales department, and another appointment for the service department. The two appointments should be handled on the same day, but should be created as separate appointments. In addition, the Technician must complete one appointment before starting the next. The agent wants to make sure these two appointments are scheduled together and in sequence.
Which three things should the Consultant verify to ensure these requirements are met and simultaneous scheduling will occur? Choose 3 answers
A. The checkbox Use all-or-none scheduling for related appointments in Field Service Settings is selected.
B. The Dependency Type is set to Start After Finish and Same Day on the first service appointment in the dependency.
C. A dependency has been created between the two appointments and the start times are the same.
D. The Same Resource and Same Day fields appear on the Service Appointments page layout.
E. The Complex Work Visualforce page is added to the Service Appointments page
Explanation:
Use all-or-none scheduling for related appointments is a setting in Field Service Settings that enables or disables the simultaneous scheduling of service appointments that have dependencies [232]. Dependency Type is a field on the Service Appointment object that defines the relationship between two service appointments such as Start After Finish, Start Before Finish, or Finish Before Start [233]. Same Resource and Same Day are fields on the Service Appointment object that indicate whether two service appointments with dependencies should be assigned to the same resource and scheduled on the same day [234]. Selecting the checkbox Use all-or-none scheduling for related appointments in Field Service Settings, setting the Dependency Type to Start After Finish and Same Day on the first service appointment in the dependency, and making sure the Same Resource and Same Day fields appear on the Service Appointments page layout would allow Universal Containers to ensure that a customer makes one appointment for the sales department, and another appointment for the service department, that should be handled on the same day, but should be created as separate appointments, where the Technician must complete one appointment before starting the next, and that these two appointments are scheduled together and in sequence by enabling simultaneous scheduling of dependent service appointments, defining the order and timing of the service appointments, and ensuring that the service appointments are assigned to the same resource and scheduled on the same day [235]. Creating a dependency between the two appointments and setting the start times to be the same would not work because it would not ensure that one appointment is completed before starting the next. Adding the Complex Work Visualforce page to the Service Appointments page would not work because it is not a feature of Salesforce Field Service.

Question#5
Dispatchers at Universal Containers want to ensure resources assigned to a Work Order have the appropriate level of expertise.
What should a Consultant implement to accomplish this requirement?
A. Define Work Types, Define Work Order Status, Set up Resource Skills
B. Set up Skill Requirements, Define Work Types, Set up Routing Rules
C. Define Skills, Set up Skill Requirements, Set up Resource Skills
D. Set up Service Locations, Set up Location Skills, Define Work Types
Explanation:
Skills are used to define the level of expertise that a resource has for a specific type of work. Skill requirements are used to define the level of expertise that a service appointment needs. Resource skills are used to assign skills to resources. By setting up these components, the system can match service appointments with resources based on their skills.
