Auto add to Scheduler

The contents of the approved request data can be added to the scheduler automatically.
For example, if a vacation or a travel request is approved, the appointment is automatically added to the schedule and other members can confirm the appointment.

To set up auto-enrollment to scheduler, you must set the "Date" field in the Request form.
You can add a regular or a period of public appointment of the date entered in the "Dates" field of the request data.

When the Automatic Registration to Scheduler Fails

The following message appears on the "Request Details" screen of the applicant

"Failed to add an appointment to Scheduler."

The following are the primary reasons for the automatic registration of scheduler to fail:

  • The start date and end date and time settings are incorrect.
  • The date and time specified in the "Day" field of the request data are invalid.
  • The applicant has been deleted or is set to be deleted by the user.
  • The applicant is not allowed to use the scheduler.
  • The scheduler is set to the inactive application.
  • In the request form, only an acknowledgment route is configured as a request route.
  • The route branching configured in the request form made the approval route to be skipped, which then created the request data with a "acknowledgment only" request route.
