-
From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Workforce Scheduling,
and then select Basic Settings.
-
Optionally, enable these features.
- Block Scheduling Only for Approved Absences: When approval
confirmation is on, only approved absences block a service resource's availability.
Unapproved absences aren't considered in scheduling. This setting needs an approval
process on the Resource Absence object that sets the Approved field. Without one, no
absence is ever approved, and no absence blocks scheduling. For more information, see
Set Up an Approval Process.
- Send Geolocation and Map Data to Google and Apple: Allow
Workforce Scheduling to send location and map data to Google and Apple so that maps
and routes appear.
