Using bookings for events at specific times
HI, Bookings might not be the right tool for this task but I want to check. I plan to run small online webinars for colleagues and I'd like to list the events so they can book an event to suit th...
Having the exact same issue as you guys! 😞 I'm using Bookings as an internal Training Calendar and Teams Webinar sessions.
Want to be able to just schedule a date and time for a course and allow people to select the service on the bookings page and book on the course until availability is full.
However the scheduling conflicts and other available time slots appear - We rely on calendars so much in the business, it's not a sensible solution to just block out the time around it so the course looks correct on Bookings, because then people can't get into my or my other trainers diaries for normally meetings etc.
Seems odd that you can't have a service and just schedule it for a one off set time when some of Microsofts literature talks as though it can be used for scheduling internal things such as this but really, it's a acting like a bog standard 'Appointment' booking system 😞
Hopefully a few others find this and boost it up so it can be something they look into! Thanks for sharing your workaround thus far ClaireThirlwall digihandle 🙂
Thanks, J
JessicaBenjamin - I'm glad it isn't just me. I've used the workaround but like you mention it means my diary looks like I'm not available, which then means other scheduling tools don't work as effectively. It would be great if Microsoft could make this a useable feature, i.e. one off bookable in house events with a limit on numbers.
