Finding a Bookings Calendar Name and creating more than one calendar

In bookings I created a second calendar. I gave it a different name. Now I cannot find my 1st calendar, although it still accepts and logs appointments in outlook calendar and sends confirmation emails. I can find the scheduling page for the first calendar using the published link; but I cannot find the calendar in bookings to edit the services. I will recreate the 1st calendar if needed, but would like to know what I need to do to ensure the proper fields are different in order that I do not overwrite editing access in my 2nd calendar's bookings.

    Hello sporadic1865 

    When you are in the bookings homepage select the drop-down (the downward caret symbol) beside your calendars name. From the drop-down select "open" and the dialog from my attached picture will open to give you access to your other calendar.

    I hope that helps

    Cheers

      I am having the same issue. Clicking the drop down does not show me the old Bookings calendar but it still functions - I can add and cancel appointments to it from the 'landing page'.Rolf-42

        Hi RalphVasquez and sporadic1865

        In my bookings I have to select open from the drop-down on the left (see pic Bookings Calendar selection 2.png) That opens the separate dialog for opening a specific calendar (see pic Bookings Calendar selection 3.png). I then have to select one of the names that are shown at the bottom of this dialog which is in my case the highlighted (grey) name "TheCloud42". So there is no guessing for me what the name is.

        Which names do you see in the open dialog if any? Maybe you can share a screenshot also? 

        And according to this post here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/delete-a-booking-calendar-8c3a913c-2247-4519-894d-b6263eeb9920?ui=en-us&rs=en-us&ad=us

        the booking calendar is a normal user that you can administer or even delete through the normal M365 user management. 


        Thank you
        Cheers

      Rolf-42 When I use the drop down, nothing shows as alternatives to open. When I attempt to type the name of the calendar or what I thought the name was; the response in "no match". So I am wondering what does bookings consider the name of the calendar? I tried the business name, I tried the title of the calendar, I tried many combinations and staff names without success. I am at a loss on how to find a named calendar or what bookings considers the name.  I would like to access it to make changes to services.
