Configure Scheduling Policy to Enforce Operating Hours

Use a scheduling policy to enforce one or more rules to find the best service resources for appointments. Apply a scheduling policy to your scheduling process to ensure that an appointment meets the criteria that the policy rules define. Create a scheduling policy for the dummy resource who has set up operating hours. Ensure that the resource is present only when creating an appointment.

For more information, see Enfore Scheduling Policies in Salesforce Scheduler.

  1. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Scheduling Policies, and then select Scheduling Policies.

  2. Click New.

  3. Enter a name for your custom scheduling policy, and then deselect the Use service territory member’s shift rule.

    This rule considers service territory member’s operating hours when determining the availability of service resources for appointments.

  4. Save your changes.
