An appointment schedule represents available slots as defined by its appointment window and service mapping configurations. Appointment schedules can be overridden for specific dates or slots to allow custom availability or
capacity.

## Vorbereitungen

Role required: appointment_booking_admin

Ensure that the Advanced Appointment Booking plugin is active. For more information, see [Activate Advanced Appointment Booking](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/Q8M46dOSsqLmWlsAukWXkA "You can activate the Advanced Appointment Booking plugin (com.snc.advanced_appointment_booking) for Field Service Management if you have the admin role. The application installs related ServiceNow Store applications and plugins if they are not already installed.").

Ensure you have already created an Appointment Window and a Service configuration mapping. To create an appointment window and service configuration mapping see [Create an Appointment window configuration](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/4MZZYWjsyXxtEeYhGYIMXw "An Appointment window configuration defines the daily schedule for appointments, including start and end times, slot duration, breaks, and slot repetition intervals.") and [Create an Appointment service configuration mapping](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/veyjZZS8f_Q7v1epePg~lQ "An appointment service configuration mapping contains the service configuration, service configuration rule, and territory for use in an appointment schedule.").

## Warum und wann dieser Vorgang ausgeführt wird

An appointment schedule defines available time slots based on its configuration. With appointment schedules, you can configure advanced capabilities like a combination of appointment slots of different durations for a
specific day, or adjust the number of appointments for a particular slot, or define a holiday schedule for a specific day.

For example, for a specific day, you can configure one slot of 3 hours duration, two slots of 2 hours duration and 4 slots for 1 hour duration.

For a service if demand is greater between 9:00 AM and 10:00 AM, Appointment Schedule lets you set more bookable appointments during that time, and fewer for other time slots.

You can also create an appointment schedule override to customize availability for specific dates or time slots. For more information on overrides, see [Create an Appointment Schedule Override](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/fTSc2sduAlW0G8kUWoFAMQ "An appointment schedule override modifies default slot configurations for specific dates or scenarios, providing flexible appointment management.").

You can optionally define work and travel durations in a schedule. When Use durations from the schedule is enabled, these durations are used to calculate appointment
availability and will override the default work and travel durations set in the service configuration.
