Using Bookings to setup a Secondary School Parent-Teacher Schedule
Hello all,
I've setup a "Bookings" to handle our Parent-Teacher night (2000 students, 125 teachers, up to 5000 parents and guardians) will be booking. I've done a 20 person test and Bookings seems up to the task but I wish...(isn't there always an I wish...?)
- I could adjust the 5/10 min appointment window to be 7 or 8 or whatever I choose...
- I could import all the teachers as staff (csv is ok) with a default business schedule
- I could restrict parent (customer) booking to non-continuous (forcing a break) and max number per day
These are actually just tweeks to perfect the system. I think it will work great.
Anyone have any experience with the situation?
Jeff_Spence totally agree with your recommendations, I'm facing exactly the same issue for our own parent teacher night.
Jeff_Spence Hello! I have only just come across Microsoft bookings. I’m hoping you can help with this question?
if just one booking was set up, is it possible to add all the staff in my school to that booking and can parents then choose multiple, different staff to see at different times?
Rob Fuller thank you for your reply. Hopefully somebody else can comment here and let us know if it is possible. If parents have to go in numerous times just to book to see numerous different teachers than that really is not a good solution. Fingers crossed there is a way.
