Warning Salesforce Scheduler Setup Assistant isn’t supported on the Salesforce mobile app. Attempts to use the assistant on the mobile app can result in exceptions.
If the Salesforce Scheduler Setup Assistant tab doesn't appear on the Salesforce Scheduler Setup app nav bar, manually add the tab to the nav bar.
Important
- Enable the Salesforce Scheduler Setup Assistant tab only in a production org. In any other org, the setup assistant doesn’t work as expected.
- The Salesforce Scheduler Setup Assistant is recommended for admin users. Before enabling the Salesforce Scheduler Setup Assistant tab for non-admin users, grant them the object access necessary to create and edit Salesforce Scheduler objects. Also make sure that non-admin users understand that they can’t set up permissions.
1. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter App Manager, and then select **App Manager**.
2. On the Lightning Experience App Manager Setup page, edit the Salesforce Scheduler Setup app.
3. Select **Navigation Items**.
4. Move Salesforce Scheduler Setup Assistant to Selected Items, and then click **Save**.
5. From the App Launcher, find and open the Salesforce Scheduler Setup app.
6. Click the Salesforce Scheduler Setup Assistant tab.
If you don’t see the Salesforce Scheduler Setup Assistant tab, enable it for your profile.
1. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Profiles, and then select **Profiles**.
2. Click the profile that you want to update.
3. Under Tab Settings, for Salesforce Scheduler Setup Assistant, select **Default On**, and then save the changes.
Here’s what you see on the Salesforce Scheduler Setup Assistant tab.
- To see a built-in example of an appointment, click **View Sample Appointment** (1).
- Click the link below a setup item (2) to see help on that topic.
- Click the button next to a setup item (3) to perform that step.
Important With the Salesforce Scheduler Setup Assistant tool, you can quickly create resources, but you can’t always configure them from within the tool. For example, by clicking Set Up Operating Hours, you can create operating hours. However, to assign those operating hours to a work type, service territory, or service territory member, you must use the Operating Hours field on that work type, service territory, or service territory member record page.
