Account for one-time tasks that are part of a bundle by downscaling the duration of the
bundle member service appointments. You can create multiple aggregation duration
downscales.

To create items:
Customize Application
If your service appointments have custom fields, make sure to give the fields read and edit
access. See Appointment Bundling Limitations.
Open an appointment bundle aggregation policy that has Aggregation Action defined as Set
downscaled duration.
In the Appointment Bundle Aggregation Policy, go to the Related tab.
In the Appointment Bundle Aggregation Duration Downscales panel, click
New.
Give the policy a unique name.
For From Bundle Member Number, enter the first bundle member’s number that the downscale
applies to.
For To Bundle Member Number, enter the last bundle member’s number that the downscale
applies to. To always downscale to the last bundle member, leave this field empty.
Enter the percentage of reduction.
For Max Reduction, enter the maximum reduction for a bundle member service appointment, in
minutes.
Save your changes.
Example
A printer maintenance company must fix multiple printers in the same office building. For the
first service appointment, the mobile worker needs time for parking, passing the building’s
security clearance, organizing the tools, and then fixing the printer. But when the mobile
worker gets to the second service appointment, they can go straight to fixing the printer. In
this scenario, to get a better estimate of the bundle’s duration, configure the downscaling to
start from the second bundle member.
Note If you define aggregation duration downscales where
the service appointments overlap and include Max Reduction values, it can lead to inaccurate
results. See Appointment Bundling Limitations.
