Maximum Travel from Home is a Field Service database work rule type for setting the
maximum distance or travel time between a resource’s home base and any appointment assigned to the
resource. It’s a useful way to minimize mobile workers’ travel time.
Required Editions
Available in: both Salesforce Classic (not available in all orgs) and Lightning
Experience
The Agentforce Field Service and Operations core features, managed package, and
mobile app are available in Enterprise, Unlimited, and Developer
Editions.
This is a Field Service managed package feature.
Note To calculate maximum travel time or distance, Field Service uses aerial
routing (as the crow flies).
Work rules of this type are particularly useful if your service territories are functional
rather than geographical.
Work rules of this type contain the following settings.

Description
Maximum Travel From Home Type
Indicates whether the work rule enforces a maximum travel time or maximum distance.
Maximum Travel From Home
The maximum, which is measured in minutes for travel time and miles or kilometers for
distance. The miles or kilometers preference is set in the Field Service Admin app.
Relevance Groups
Available only if relevance groups are implemented. Relevance groups let you apply the
work rule to a subset of service resources. For example, use relevance groups to enforce
these policies:
Don’t assign resources to maintenance appointments that are more than 20 miles from
their home base.
Don’t assign highly qualified workers to appointments that are more than 20 miles from
their home base.
If a service resource’s home base (address) isn’t specified, the resource isn’t a candidate for
any service appointment. If a service appointment lacks geocoordinates (calculated from an
address), it can be assigned to any service resource with a home base.
