Geolocation tracking is enabled for Universal Containers’s Technicians but Should only apply to full- time...

the Exclude Technician from Geolocation Tracking permission is the appropriate Field Service design. A dedicated system permission can be placed in a permission set and assigned only to contractors who should not be tracked. This keeps the organization-wide mobile tracking configuration enabled for full-time technicians.

When comparing Salesforce Mobile with Field Service Mobile, the latter should be treated as an operational field-work client rather than a generic CRM client. Its offline capabilities, appointment-centric experience, signature/report functions, geolocation controls, and technician-specific actions are the features that should drive the configuration decision.

The alternatives address different parts of the Field Service model. Turning off the global tracking setting affects everyone, and profile geocoding or a zero frequency is not the supported per-user exclusion control.

This approach keeps the implementation aligned with the standard Field Service data model and avoids unnecessary customization. Study Guide reference: Configuring Mobility — Field Service Mobile geolocation; exclusion permission.
