Activate Advanced Appointment Booking

You can activate the Advanced Appointment Booking plugin (com.snc.advanced_appointment_booking) for Field Service Management if you have the admin role. The application installs related ServiceNow® Store applications and plugins if they are not already installed.

Before you begin

Advanced Appointment Booking requires a separate subscription from the rest of the ServiceNow AI Platform.

To purchase a subscription, contact your ServiceNow account manager. When you purchase a subscription, certain plugins are activated automatically. If a paid plugin isn't activated automatically, you can manually activate it from the All Applications list in your instance.

Note:

Before purchasing a subscription, you can evaluate the feature on a non-production instance without charge by requesting it from the Now Support Service Catalog.
