Work Area

The Work Area displays the details of an Oracle Fusion Field Service resource that you select in the resource tree.

When you click a menu tab, you see the corresponding information for the resource in the work area. The work area header includes buttons, which you can use to access features such as filtering and viewing details for multiple days.

The work area is shown in this screenshot:

You can fine-tune the information that you see in the work area with the View button. The View button displays a list of configured filters as shown in this screenshot:
