Today the RSO can only be set up to run for a relative range: the range offset: 2 hours, 1 day, etc.


There is no way to specify "I would like to create a schedule for Monday, 3 July 2017."


This frequently results in multiple runs of the RSO to ensure the schedule is built for the correct date; and also results in Bookings that may span a couple of days, rather than just building the schedule on the desired date.


Enabling Explicit Date Scheduling would be critical not only critical for product demonstrations (i.e. I have a demo on July 3rd, so that's the day I want the schedule built for) but also useful for clients that want to build a schedule for a specific date, lock down confirmed appointments, and then reoptimize the same date around the confirmed appointments. Example: Molina Healthcare, build a route of candidate appointments based on proximity and SLA, call appointments to confirm, lock confirmed appointments to a Time Range, then reoptimize around these locked appointments to build a new schedule of appointments to call and confirm.

Thanks Boris for the feedback,  we recently release RSO new build for Dynamics365 v9.0 org, there is a new feature called Schedule Board Integration, on the very right, there is a tab called 'Optimization' with optimization scope information prepopulated, you can modify From/To info directly with exact date/time like the scenario you mentioned then save back to your original scope.
