Allowing multiple bookings for the same time in Microsoft Bookings
There is a workaround for this - create the number of dummy staff up to the maximum number of 'customers' that you want to book into the session, and assign them all to the service. So if you want 20 seats available at the training you create 20 dummy 'staff'. Once all 20 seats have been booked that date will no longer be available.
Thank you. Our school is planning to transfer the students' emails to the staff domain name by Christmas, which was the problem that kept us from using Bookings. If creating dummy employees to create multiple appointment slots for the same time doesn't get too expensive (since I'm paying for this out-of-pocket because Bookings isn't available in the Education package), I will begin using Bookings in January. Good to know they are finally addressing this seemingly obvious need in the app. Now, if Bookings would get added to the Education app bundle. . .?!? 🙂
Kim Johnson I don't know how Microsoft breaks down the licensing, but as a non-profit we are eligible for ten donated Microsoft 365 licenses, which includes Bookings. I am looking forward to being able to use this feature.
Thanks! I'll look into it.
