Scheduler Overview 

When enabled, the Scheduling feature gives you access to two new objects; Schedule and Reservation Template, and a new Lightning App; Scheduler. You can selectively give users access to these by assigning them the B25_Scheduler Permission Set included in the package.

• A Reservation Template is an abstract time slot that will eventually generate a series of Reservation. Reservation Templates occur at a regular interval (like weekly or bi-weekly). 

• A Schedule is a collection of Reservation Templates.

• The Scheduler Lightning App allows you to create new Schedules of Reservation Templates and publish those.

The Schedule record page contains a calendar component, on which you can create and edit multiple Reservation Templates.
