Restrict Service to a specific user
Hello!
I am wondering if it's possible to restrict days a service is available for specific staff members?
I have a Service that is available Monday-Friday....but some members of staff only work parttime for this service and are therefore cannot be shown as available for that service only on certain days. This would be fine if they only needed to be available for that service as we would then just edit their availability on the calendar at staff level.
HOWEVER, the issue comes as these staff members do work on the other days but for different services and therefore they do need to be available for the full days - but they can't be available for that service on specific days.
i.e.
Joe Bloggs works Monday and Tuesday and available only for Service #1.
Joe Bloggs works Wednesday-Friday and available only for Service #2.
Jane Doe works Monday-Friday and available for Service #1.
Both Service #1 and #2 are open to book by the same end user and therefore, ideally, need to be part of the same Booking system.
Is there a way to restrict a service to specific days but only for specific staff members?
Unfortunately, Microsoft Bookings doesn’t have a direct way to limit a service to specific days for certain staff members, but you can work around it by setting custom hours within the service. In the service settings, go to the “Assign staff” section, select the staff member, and turn on “Use custom hours.” From there, you can set the exact days and times that person is available for that specific service. For example, Joe can be available for Service #1 only on Monday and Tuesday, and for Service #2 on Wednesday to Friday. It takes a bit of setup, but once it’s done, Bookings will automatically show the right availability for each staff member.
