All Day Events Not Blocking Calendar

If I set up an all day event in Outlook as either Busy or OOO, I would expect Bookings to block those days and not allow a meeting to be scheduled. I have had meetings made during this time and when I go to bookings, those days do not show as blocked.

  • This should work as long as the all day event is created as busy/OOF. By default all day events are created as free in Outlook, so please ensure that the free/busy status is set correct.
    The second scenario could be due to caching, the availability shown in the self-schedule page is cached for few minutes, so it may not show up immediately on this page. But the appointment creation will fail if anyone tries to book an appointment as there is a status check again with live calendar at the time of appointment creation.

      Babu_Alagarsamy Below are screenshot from outlook where I created days off on Friday and also Bookings where I added time off yesterday.  You can see that bookings does not show my scheduled time from outlook. Please advise.
