-
Add the Classic Dispatch Console to your Experience Builder site.
- In Experience Builder, open the Pages menu on the top toolbar.
- Click New Page at the bottom of the Pages menu.
- Click Standard Page, and follow the prompts to create your page. Give it a helpful name, like Classic Dispatch Console.
- Assign the page a one-column layout.
-
From the Components menu, drag a Visualforce Page component to the Content section of the
page. Set the component’s properties as follows:
- VF Page name: vf001_ServiceExpert
- Height: Any value (we suggest 800 pixels)
- Record ID: Leave unchanged—{!recordId}
-
Open the navigation menu and add a menu item. Use the following settings:
- Name: Any value (for example, Classic Dispatch Console)
- Type: Community Page
- Page: Select the page you created earlier
- In the Members section, select the Field Service Community Dispatcher Permissions to be allowed in the site.
- Publish your changes.
-
Give site users access to the new Classic Dispatch Console page.
- Confirm that the site users who need access to the Classic Dispatch Console have a Partner Community user license.
- Confirm that a service territory has been created for the contractor. For details, see Guidelines for Setting Up Field Service Contractors.
- Create the site dispatcher permission sets. From the App Launcher, find and open the Field Service Admin app, and then click Field Service Settings. Then, click Getting Started > Permission Sets.
- Find the Field Service Community Dispatcher tile. Confirm that the tile shows a message indicating that the permission set is current. If it doesn’t, click Create Permissions.
-
Assign two permission sets to the site users who need access to the Classic Dispatch Console:
- Field Service Community Dispatcher License permission set
- Field Service Community Dispatcher Permissions permission set
Note Site dispatchers can’t access the complex work feature—for details, see Complex Work in Field Service—or Live Gantt updates.
