Assign different service patterns to Staff in Bookings
Hello!
I wonder if someone can help me work out if this is possible or not!
We have a Bookings system that say we have Service 1 that can be booked from Monday through to Friday by anyone with various members of staff.
However, I have a member of staff who only works for this service, parttime and therefore is not available for Service 1 on say a Monday and Tuesday.
BUT they do still work with different services on those days, so I cannot restrict their working days via the Edit Staff option as they should still be available for other services.
Is there a way I can restrict Service 1 for that member of staff only? So that it is only available for them on a Wed-Fri? I do not want to have to create separate Services for members of staff if it can be helped. But I also cannot see a way to select when services can be made available for specific members of staff.
TIA!
Microsoft Bookings doesn’t have a built-in way to assign different working patterns for the same staff member across multiple services, but there’s a simple workaround. In your service settings, go to the “Assign staff” section, select the staff member, and turn on the “Use custom hours” option. This lets you set specific days and times that person is available for that particular service, without affecting their availability for others. So, for example, you can make them available for Service 1 only on Wednesday to Friday, while keeping them open for other services on Monday and Tuesday. It takes a little setup, but it works well once done and saves you from having to create separate services.
