Dynamics 365 Field Service: Optimize resource scheduling - Optimize multiple resources with Scheduling Operations Agent

This release expands the optimization capabilities of the Scheduling Operations Agent to include multiple resources.

Dispatchers can review and compare the proposed schedules with the current schedules before applying changes.

New capabilities include
