          Appointment Time Slot Calculation for Concurrent Shifts

          Appointment Time Slot Calculation for Concurrent Shifts

          A territory manager or a service resource creates concurrent shifts by defining the maximum number of appointments for the associated topic. If they create overlapping shifts with a different concurrency for each of these shifts, then Salesforce Scheduler selects the maximum number of concurrency for a shift duration and minimum concurrency while determining the overlapping time slots within these shifts.

          Example
          Example John, a banker, works in the 1 Market St. branch, attends to customers who have queries about wealth management. He creates these three shifts.

          Salesforce Scheduler breaks these shifts into smaller durations by considering the maximum number of appointments for overlapping shifts.

          In the shifts that John created, the work type duration is 1 hour and the appointment start time interval is 30 minutes. So, here’s how Salesforce Scheduler shows John’s time slot availability.
