Logistics Execution > Setup > Constraints > Hours of Service Constraints
Hours of service constraints are checked during pairing (or when the requested start date time/requested end date time changes) to help you avoid overscheduling a worker.
They are configured per operation. Multiple constraints can be configured.
| FIELD | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
| Operation | The operation for the hours of service constraint. |
| Worker Logistics Type | The logistics type for the worker type being calculated. |
| Task Specific | Turn on this toggle to indicate that the constraint is against a specific task. If the toggle is on, the Hours of Service Task field must be specified. |
| Hours of Service Task | Specifies the hours of service task to validate against for a task-specific constraint. |
| Hour Period Options | Determines how many hours are applied to the constraint:
|
| Hour Period | Specifies the number of hours the constraint calculates over. |
| Maximum Hours | The maximum number of hours of work (or for the specific hours of service task) that can accumulate over the current hour period before validation fails during activity validation. |
| Warn Hours | The maximum number of hours of work (or for the specific hours of service task) that can accumulate over the current hour period before a warning is produced during activity validation. |
| Hours of Service Constraint Text | A text description of how the hours of service constraint will calculate. |
Pairing Validation
During pairing or activity validation (depending on when Requested Date/Time fields are filled/changed), hours of service constraints are checked.
- If a constraint fails, you are notified.
- If the warning level is reached, a message is produced, but pairing continues.
- If the maximum level is reached, worker pairing does not complete.
