Topic: Continous schedule resource creation?
Dave Kinne (Feb 09 2018 at 09:19):
The documentation of the slot resource states that:
"If a service had a weekly schedule created that permitted eight 1 hour appointments each day of a working week (Monday - Friday), this would be constructed by a single Schedule resource with the dates for the start and end of the week set, and then 40 (5x8) Slot resources associated with it."
In my understanding i would have to create a single schedule instance with 40 slot resources each week.
And if my service is permitting 30 minute appointments each day of the week, from 8:00am to 10pm, this would result in 98 (7*14) slots per service each week.
For example i am having about ~1000 healthcare services with schedules, so per year i'd create 5.096.000 (10005298) slot resources if im counting correctly.
So its recommended to have an automated workflow each week, creating these resources? What is the recommended pattern?

This is up to your internal system how this is done.
Our system supports a templated definition, so we don't need to generate them at all, they are virtual instances.
But nothing to say you can't do what you've suggested.
