Before configuring appointment guidance, create the custom screen flow for Appointment Guidance. For more information see Create an Appointment Guidance Flow.

  1. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Lightning App Builder, and then select Lightning App Builder.
  2. Select Edit next to the page that includes the Healthcare Appointment Scheduler component.
  3. Open the attributes panel by selecting the Healthcare Appointment Scheduler component.
  4. In the field for Appointment Guidance Flow, select the custom appointment guidance screen flow that you created.
  5. To automatically launch the flow when the page loads, select Auto Launch Appointment Guidance. Otherwise, call center agents visiting this page must click Appointment Guidance.

    There’s a separate feature that is set in the Work Type Code Set Bundle object that automatically launches another Flow after a visit type is selected. If the output of your Appointment Guidance flow is one such visit type, then there’s the potential for an endless loop.

    Note

  6. To change the label for launching appointment guidance, enter a new name in the Label for Launching Appointment Guidance field. The default is Appointment Guidance. This field accepts custom labels in the format {!$Label.customLabelName}.
  7. To include filter fields that are set by the custom Appointment Guidance flow and not already displayed on the provider preferences panel, select Add Field in the Search Panel Fields section.

    Each time you click Add Field any new fields since the component was last updated are added. Click multiple times to see all available fields. The Add Field button deactivates when all fields have been added.
