Allow Customization of the Booking Page View: Month Overview vs. Available Dates.
Add an option to allows to "Jump to first date" or "Show only available dates for the service".
Instead of the month version, show only available dates for the respective service, ie in a table view (i.e. if the service has less than 10 dates available).
Especially for single-date events it would be great to let the system automatically jump to the according date instead of requiring the user to scroll through the months on the booking page's calendar.
Thanks for your consideration!

Pre-selection of the next available offer date is a much-needed and silly missing feature from a user experience point of view. We have been experiencing an extremely high number of complaints due to this unfriendly approach to showing the available dates. There are considerations to move out of this system for a much better user-friendly experience. There is very little customization possible on this M365 booking system.
Similar concerns were raised by many users in the community and it didn't seem to get the needed attention by Microsoft Booking System developers. Please could you get this fixed asap.

Seems like a standard appointment making feature many other platforms have. Would be great for Bookings to have this too. Don't see why it isn't a feature already!
Upvoted. It is silly that this is not a feature yet. There should be an option to automatically go to the first available date. The first thing users see shouldn't be a blank month with no available dates, especially for 1-time events.
