  • Set Position in Route
    Title: Set Position in Route
    The value of this element determines the position of the activity in the route. If this element is present then activity will be put to specified position in route. The parameter is optional, if it is absent then the value "position: byServiceWindow" is used.

    If the activity is later assigned to another resource and the activity type feature 'SLA and Service window use customer time zone' is enabled, then the SLA is recalculated so that the fields are not changed in the customer's time zone, but they are changed in the time zone of the new resource.

  • Title: Sla Window Start

    The time when the service level agreement (SLA) window starts. The time is displayed in 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS' format.

Nested Schema : Set Position in Route
Type: object
Title: Set Position in Route
The value of this element determines the position of the activity in the route. If this element is present then activity will be put to specified position in route. The parameter is optional, if it is absent then the value "position: byServiceWindow" is used.
Show Source
  • Title: Activity ID
    The unique identifier of some pending ordered activity in the target route. It is used along with the 'afterActivity' value of the 'position' parameter so that to put one activity in the position after another.
  • Title: Position
    Allowed Values: [ "first", "last", "notOrdered", "byServiceWindow", "afterActivity" ]
    The position of the activity in the route.
Nested Schema : Set Travel Time
Type: object
Title: Set Travel Time
The objects used to set the travel time of the activity. The travel time is set only if the specified previousActivity/previousActivityId is ordered before the activity for which the travel time is set.
Show Source
  • Title: Position
    Allowed Values: [ "first", "afterActivity" ]
    The expected position of the activity in a route.

    To adjust the travel time of an activity, specify the location from where the travel is starting. The location can be the start of the route or another activity. This information is used when activities are reordered or moved while performing a sequence of operations.

  • Previous Activity
    Title: Previous Activity
    The objects in this array are used instead of the 'previousActivityId' parameter to find activities when internal IDs cannot be used. For example, it is used for the bulkUpdate operation.

    The 'previousActivity' activity array contains two items: 'apptNumber' and 'customerNumber'. The parameter 'apptNumber' is mandatory. The parameter 'customerNumber' is only required when the 'bulkUpdate/identifyActivityBy' option is set to 'apptNumberPlusCustomerNumber'.

    The operation returns an error if the system is unable to find any activity using the specified 'apptNumber' and 'customerNumber' values.

  • Title: Previous Activity ID
    The identifier of a previous activity that requires travel time calculation.

    If an activity doesn't require traveling (for example, calling your manager), then the identifier of the activity cannot be used as the 'Travel previous activity ID'. In such case, it is assigned to an ID of a previous activity that required travel.

    This parameter is mandatory when the value of the parameter 'position' is 'afterActivity'.

    Note: The operation does not return any error if the adjustment cannot be made because the specified 'previousActivityId' doesn't correspond to a real-time activity. This can be detected by verifying the 'travelTime' value returned.

  • Title: Source
    Allowed Values: [ "manual", "external" ]
    The origin of the travel time data. The following are the allowed values:
    • manual - indicates that the travel time value is entered manually by a user.
    • external - indicates that the travel time value is estimated based on the statistics or street-level routing service results.
  • Title: Travel Time
    Minimum Value: 0
    Maximum Value: 65535
    The travel time for the specified activity.
Nested Schema : Required Inventory
Type: object
Title: Required Inventory

  • Title: Preference Type
    Allowed Values: [ "required", "preferred", "forbidden", "warehouse" ]
    The type of resource preference for the activity.
    • preferred - the resource is preferred while routing.
    • required - the activity can only be assigned to a required resource.
    • forbidden - the activity cannot be assigned to the specified resource.
    • warehouse - inventory may be installed from the specified resource
  • Title: Resource ID
    The unique identifier of the resource in Oracle Field Service.
Nested Schema : Previous Activity
Type: object
Title: Previous Activity
The objects in this array are used instead of the 'previousActivityId' parameter to find activities when internal IDs cannot be used. For example, it is used for the bulkUpdate operation.

The 'previousActivity' activity array contains two items: 'apptNumber' and 'customerNumber'. The parameter 'apptNumber' is mandatory. The parameter 'customerNumber' is only required when the 'bulkUpdate/identifyActivityBy' option is set to 'apptNumberPlusCustomerNumber'.

The operation returns an error if the system is unable to find any activity using the specified 'apptNumber' and 'customerNumber' values.
