schedule optimization and contractor management

[Joshua Chen MTL]

Has anyone actually implemented this? I'm trying to confirm whether Schedule Optimization works with Contractor Management.

• From what I see, there are no contractor-specific options in the policy configuration.
• Out of the box, if you use drag-and-drop or dynamic scheduling, the task gets assigned to the External Contractor Manager, not to an actual contractor user.
• Also, how does this impact scheduling? Are contractor schedules even considered?
  
  if not, work around is to treat them as internal users?

i received confirmation from SN that we need to treat the contractors as internal users to be able to use schedule optimization
