Bookings time slots
Hi everyone, I have a booking calendar created, which is designed to support two customers at the same time. So 2 slots can be booked at the same time. I was trying to change only one of them, reschedule it for another day, but I can't see such an option. Whenever I'm trying to change only one of the bookings, it reschedules both of them. Does anyone know if there is such an option, but I don't know how to do it, or there is no option like that. Thank you.
How to control which users you see in the Places app
My company is looking into using the Places app. I have buildings, rooms, floors, etc, all setup. This is duplicated from what is already setup for Room Finder in Outlook. We use M365 Business Premium or M365 E5 licenses. Nobody has Teams Premium licenses at this point. Those of us testing have set our working days/hours/location in the Calendar in New Outlook and that shows up fine in Places. I can see the people I favorited and what building they are in (whether it's in New Outlook, Teams or the M365 Copilot Places app. The issue I am having is that I see one user (who I have not favorited) listed every day and I have no idea how to remove this person from my daily Places list. Other people also see this same person in their Places list and some see a different person. I only want to see those people I have favorited and nobody else. Does anybody have any idea how to fix this?
Microsoft Places individual desk booking is not working
Hi, Following the documentation, https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/places/configure-desk-booking, I successfully ran the shared command lines without any errors. However, on Microsoft Places, I am unable to see individual desks appear; only desk pools are visible. Has anyone managed to get this to work? Thanks,
Audit booking changes
Have users reporting long-standing discrepancies on room bookings - stuff being cancelled months ago, but not showing anywhere. I remember in the past, being able to audit this. Unfortunately, we now have Purview - a tool we didn't ask for, don't want, but allegedly are forced to use. These are Resources in 365, they have Exchange Mailboxes. Exchange has a tool to search for changes, but demands the subject line. The booking has been removed by the users - and I have no idea if this wants the original 'Booking' or the 'Re: Booking' or the 'FW: booking' or which of the 120 emails were generated. So I'm looking for alternative ways. I believe in the past, I did this via Defender. There WERE activities for Mailbox changes within this audit tool. They appear to be gone - or searching for Mailbox just removes all activities labeled 'Mailbox', I'm not sure. CoPilot gives me an evolving series of deprecated/possibly non-existent cmdlets for powershell, so that's fun. please do not refer me to another terrible marketing 'article'.. I have read so many, learned absolutely nothing useful, and I'm over it. Thank you
synchronising outlook calendars between accounts
Hello together, I've got 2 different 365 accounts and have the Calendar in use on both. I'm searching for a possibility to sync between the two calendars so that if in one of the calendars an entry is entered, it gets synced to the calendar on the second account that gets synced as well. The other way around as well. Any ideas? br
Make Bookings calendar events private by default?
Hi everyone! We are currently attempting to use Microsoft Bookings with external people. When someone books an appointment with us, a calendar entry that includes the full name of the person booking the appointment is created in the staff's calendar. The staff's calendar is visible throughout the entire organization, meaning everyone can see who scheduled an appointment with us. This is a privacy issue for us. Making these appointments private in the Outlook calendar would be a solution, but I can't seem to find an option to make Bookings appointments private by default. Changing calendar permissions is also not an option for our organization. I was also not successful in building a flow with Power Automate since linking the booking to a meeting turned out to be difficult. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks!Practical Purview: Removing Old Items from User Calendars
A reader wants to remove all calendar items over a certain age. Compliance purge actions seem like a good way to do this, but there's a problem that needs to be fixed. eDiscovery purges can do the job, but only if you have eDiscovery Premium. And then there's Graph APIs to consider. All in all, many ways exist to purge calendar items. https://practical365.com/ediscovery-purges/Forms
I was looking and all I found were similar questions from as far back as 2019, so assuming no solution has been made, yet? Is any way to get a Form to read/populate dynamic choices for a question from an external source say a SharePoint online list? This would make it easier to manage the list without having to update the form each time new options were added. For example, if I had a form with a question asking for a person to assign that day to that task and the list of people available to pick from changes daily (but is scheduled a month in advance with potential last minute tweaks), I would rather pull a list from a common external source than have to update the form each day or any time a person switches days.Calendar of a Distribution Group in new Outlook
We have a Distribution Group in O365, which contains all members of a team. When you add this Distribution Group to the calendar, you can see the calendar of each team member. This way the admin can just update the Distribution Group with new team members, and everyone has gets the updated list of calendars. In the current Outlook you need to disable "Turn on shared calendar improvements" for this to work as described https://blog.icewolf.ch/archive/2023/06/22/outlook-calendar-you-cant-add-distribution-list-to-calendar-group/. But in the "new" Outlook I can't add the calendars via the Distribution Group, and the option from the "old" Outlook is gone. Does anyone have a solution for this?
