The [Calendars] lookup

The lookup is available in Creatio sales enterprise, service enterprise, customer center, bank customer journey and CRM-bundles. The [Calendars] lookup is not bound to organizational and functional roles of Creatio users.

Use the [Calendars] lookup (Fig. 1) to set up different calendar types used by helpdesk as per customer service agreements in Creatio service enterprise, customer center and bank customer journey products. If your customers and helpdesk staff are scattered across different timezones, using a proper calendar will help streamline case processing. The lookup is used for populating the service page in Creatio customer center and bank customer journey, while in Creatio service enterprise it is used to populate the service agreement page.

In Creatio sales enterprise, you can use the [Calendars] lookup to set up different types of calendars for planning sales reps’ visits to customers. The lookup is used by the Field force and Pharma applications (they are available in Creatio marketplace) when populating the contact (doctor) page.
