Set up and configure a single resource calendar
In order keep configuration simple, please perform the following steps in Salesforce Classic (GoMeddo is Lightning-Ready, you may afterwards use the app in Salesforce Lightning as you please)
If you want to display a single Resource in more detail, or are only interested in one Resource and want the calendar to not load any unnecessary data, the Single Resource Calendar is a good choice. A Single Resource Calendar shows one Resource in a view that allows for a more detailed view of the resource.
Single resource calendar example
Make sure to enable the following Record Types on your Profiles and Permission Sets:
Calendar | Single Resource Calendar Multi Resource Calendar |
---|---|
(Reservation) Titles | Reservation Title Resource Title |
Views | Single Resource Calendar View Multi Resource Calendar View |
