To use the resource for scheduling appointments in Salesforce Scheduler, select Main.

Note To consider service resources specified as Main for appointment booking, enable the Main Service Resource setting.

Select a resource type:

Technician	For individual users. This resource type is supported by default.
Agent	For individual users. Supported only if the Main Service Resource setting is enabled and the Main checkbox is selected. Typically used for service resources shared with Omni-Channel.
