A service appointment status is a picklist value on the Service Appointment object. Each status maps to a status category, such as Scheduled, In-Progress, or Completed, that reflects where an appointment is in its lifecycle.
The statuses you create depend on how your team works: on-site or in the field. Based on which scheduling methods are enabled in your org, we recommend creating the following statuses.
| Situation | On-Site | Field |
|---|---|---|
| The appointment is created but not yet assigned. | None | None |
| A service resource is assigned to the appointment. | Scheduled | Scheduled |
| The appointment is sent to the assigned resource. | NA | Dispatched |
| The appointment is underway. | In-progress | In-progress |
| The appointment is canceled. | Canceled | Canceled |
| The appointment is finished. | Completed | Completed |
| The appointment can't be finished. | NA | Not Completed |
| A customer arrives at a branch. | Checked-in | NA |
| The customer doesn't show up. | No Show | NA |
