multiple individual overlapping timeslots for training within a range

Good day!

 

I am attempting to use Bookings to provide timeslot options to external users who require training. What I want to do follows:

Trainer is available Tues-Fri from 9 am to 12 pm and 1 pm to 4 pm

Each training slot takes 90 minutes to complete.

I want to be able to provide a single link to users that would allow them to see the trainer's calendar with the following for each day that the trainer is available:

9:00-10:30
9:30-11:00
10:00-11:30
10:30-12:00

1:00-2:30

1:30-3:00
2:00-3:30

2:30-4:00

 

When a trainee accesses the calendar, they could pick from any available timeslot, but any selected slot would grey out corresponding overlapping slots.

So for a given day if a trainee picks 9:30-11:00, that slot is booked, but 9:00-10:30, 10:00-11:30  and 10:30-12:00 are all greyed out. If another trainee picks 1:00-2:30, then 1:30-3:00 and 2:-3:30 are greyed out, but 2:30-4:00 remains available.

Does that functionality exist in Bookings at this time, or is there a way to configure it?

 

Thank you,

  • Kid_Knee thanks for reaching out. This should be how Bookings works today - once you make a booking, Bookings should now longer show slots overlapping with this booked time. One thing to note is that if there are multiple staff members on the service, it could continue to show the slot as available because there is a different person available to be booked.
