Longitude
This field contains the longitude of the work order location. Schedule Optimization uses this information for route optimization and scheduling.

Schedule Optimization does not consider the work orders that do not have dispatch process ID for scheduling.
SLA Terms

Dispatch Priority
Preferred Technician
This field contains the name of the preferred technician for the work order. Schedule Optimization considers this as a soft constraint.

Apply Business Hours for OptiMax
This field is a flag to indicate if the preferred time slot for the work order is based on SLA or access hours for the Account or Location.
Selecting this check box is not mandatory when the work order has SLA fields. The Preferred Start Time field and the Preferred End Time field are SLA fields. You must select this check box when preferred business hours are populated.
