To exclude a specific subset of resources from being scheduled by the optimization engine, you use a Hard Constraint Work Rule.

Option D is correct. The Match Boolean Work Rule is designed to filter resources based on a checkbox (Boolean) field.

You would create a custom checkbox on the Service Resource object (e.g., Is_Contractor__c).

You configure the Match Boolean rule in the Scheduling Policy to enforce that Is_Contractor__c must be False.

When optimization runs, any resource where Is_Contractor__c = True fails the rule and is completely ignored/excluded from the schedule calculation.

Option A (Count Rule) limits volume, it doesn't exclude.

Options B and C (Match Field/Extended Match) match properties between the Job and the Resource (e.g., Skill or Location matching), which is not the same as a blanket exclusion of a resource type.

When Global Optimization leaves appointments unscheduled despite available capacity, the root cause is usually in the optimization configuration (which appointments are eligible) rather than in the Gantt UI state.

Option A is correct. 'Pinned Statuses' under Field Service Settings define which Service Appointment statuses are treated as locked by Global Optimization. If an appointment is in a pinned status, the optimizer will not move or schedule it, which produces exactly the symptom described.

Option C is correct. The lightbox shown when invoking optimization from the Gantt lets the dispatcher choose the Scheduling Policy, time horizon, filters and resources. A misconfigured run from this dialog directly causes appointments to be skipped.

Option D is correct. 'Optimization Insights' on the Optimization Request object surfaces detailed information about which appointments were considered and why some were not scheduled (work rule violations, no eligible resource, etc.). This is the most direct investigative tool available.

Option B is incorrect because list view visibility is a UI concern; Global Optimization picks up appointments based on the scope you select, not based on what is visible to the dispatcher.

Option E is incorrect because the Gantt's active Scheduling Policy is not what controls Global Optimization — the policy is chosen in the run dialog.

Salesforce Knowledge can be related directly to the Work Order object so that articles surface alongside the job a technician is performing, both on desktop and in the Field Service Mobile App.

Option C is correct. 'Knowledge on Work Orders' allows the admin to attach Knowledge Articles to Work Orders and Work Types. Technicians can read step-by-step procedures, troubleshooting guides, and reference material directly from the related Work Order on the Field Service Mobile App, which is exactly the experience needed in the field.

Option A is incorrect because Custom Links typically open external URLs and require connectivity. They do not provide a managed library of articles.

Option B is incorrect because Knowledge on Cases is a Service Cloud feature for case handling, not for field technicians who work from Work Orders.

Option D is incorrect because Attachments on Cases are unmanaged files associated with Cases, not curated, searchable content for technicians.
